Hyphen’s financial transformation project with HSBC has been honoured with a major industry award at the ACT Middle East Treasury Awards 2025.

Co-Founder Michael Savolainen picked up the Best Cash Management Solution prize in the SME category with the HSBC team at a ceremony in Dubai.

The awards gala brought together hundreds of delegates from some of the world’s biggest companies, fintech innovators and more for a celebration of forward-thinking financial solutions in the Middle East.

Recognition from the judges at the industry-leading event served as confirmation of Hyphen’s commitment to best-in-class infrastructure and future-proof systems. By modernising our treasury operations, we are now positioned to take advantage of technological advances and continue building resilience into our business.

Michael said of the award win: “Working alongside HSBC on this project has been a transformative experience. It’s not only reshaped our financial systems but also set us up to thrive in a fast-changing world. Being recognised by the ACT is a proud moment for both teams.

“Our thanks go to Charbel Bacha and the HSBC team for their support as their input has been crucial in helping us enhance our financial systems. A significant amount of work went into this from the Hyphen’s finance and tech teams.”
