Fill Easy Wins Certificate of Merit at Hong Kong ICT Awards 2025 for GovVerify

Government recognition for the technology that powers government-source identity verification.

Fill Easy is proud to announce that GovVerify has been awarded a Certificate of Merit at the Hong Kong ICT Awards 2025, in the FinTech category — RegTech: Regulatory and Risk Management stream.

About the Hong Kong ICT Awards

The Hong Kong ICT Awards is the most prestigious technology recognition programme in Hong Kong, organised by the Digital Policy Office (DPO) of the HKSAR Government. Now in its nineteenth year, the Awards recognise outstanding innovations that drive digital transformation across the city's economy.

The Awards are not a self-nomination popularity contest. Entries are assessed by independent judging panels comprising industry veterans, academic experts, and government advisors — making a Certificate of Merit a genuine signal of technical and commercial quality.

The Category: RegTech Regulatory and Risk Management

The FinTech (RegTech: Regulatory and Risk Management) category specifically recognises technology that addresses the compliance, risk management, and regulatory reporting challenges facing Hong Kong's financial services sector.

GovVerify was evaluated against submissions from across the industry. Our fellow recognised companies in the FinTech category include:

• HSBC — Silver Award for SmartNet

• Slowmist — Gold Award for MistTrack

Being recognised alongside one of the world's largest banks and a globally respected blockchain security firm validates the calibre of GovVerify's technology.

Why GovVerify Won

GovVerify addresses a problem that every regulated financial institution in Hong Kong faces: how do you verify a customer's identity instantly, at scale, in a way that satisfies the HKMA, SFC, and IA — without creating friction that kills conversion?

The answer is direct API access to government-authorised identity databases. GovVerify connects to iAM Smart (Hong Kong), China MPS (Mainland China), Singpass (Singapore), and UAE Pass — returning verified identity data in seconds, not days.

The judging panel recognised this as exactly the kind of regulatory infrastructure Hong Kong's financial sector needs to compete globally.

"This recognition from the HKSAR Government's Digital Policy Office means a great deal to the team. We built GovVerify to solve a real compliance problem, and having that recognised at the highest level of Hong Kong's technology awards confirms we are solving it in the right way."
