Karia Named Finalist for 2025 Finnies Awards in Insurtech Innovation

We’re proud to share that Karia has been named a finalist in the 2025 Finnies Awards, recognised in the Excellence in Insurtech category by FinTech Australia.

This nomination is a milestone moment in our mission to modernise salary-packaged asset management. Starting with novated leasing in Australia. The Finnies celebrate the best and brightest in Australia’s fintech ecosystem, and we’re honoured to be included alongside some of the country’s most innovative companies.

At Karia, we’re building the infrastructure to power the future of novated leasing. By replacing fragmented legacy systems with a unified, API-first platform, we help enterprises and partners manage assets like novated leases with real-time insights, automated compliance, and embedded payments. All integrated seamlessly with payroll, insurance, and tax workflows.

Why Insurtech Innovation Matters

Insurance is a critical part of every novated asset’s lifecycle, where compliance, cost optimisation, and employee experience depend on seamless coordination between insurers, brokers, employers, and finance platforms.

This finalist recognition validates our approach: making insurance an invisible, intelligent part of the asset-linked finance experience.

Looking Ahead

We’re just getting started. With major enterprise rollouts underway and a growing network of ecosystem partners, we’re continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible in embedded finance, novated leasing and novated leasing software.

A huge thank you to our customers, partners, and the team behind Karia. We’re thrilled to be recognised, and excited to keep building.

See you at the Finnies!
