Best Startup Innovation in Berlin
Noosa based Securely Group takes MPE 2025 by storm – named Best Startup Innovation in Berlin Germany!
Last week in Berlin, Securely Group shocked the fintech world in front of 1500 payment executives and bankers, winning Best Startup Innovation at the MPE 2025 Awards! Out of hundreds of nominations from across Europe and beyond, Securely was one of only 12 global fintech startups invited to attend. The competition was fierce, but in the end, an Australian-born technology disruptor from Noosa Heads, QLD, took the crown—beating the world’s best.
Hailed on stage as “the next PayPal”, Securely’s momentum is undeniable. Many at the awards openly predicted it will be the next global payments unicorn, and behind the scenes, the buzz was even louder—negotiations have already begun with global payment powerhouses eager to partner with Securely’s game-changing orchestration.
Securely is an all-Noosa-built company, founded in 2020 by local businessman Rob Neely. Over four years, the team has quietly engineered one of the world’s most advanced banking payment rails—now protected by three patents in digital identity.
The innovation that secured this latest award addresses 17 billion global transactions that currently lack a viable payment solution. 1.4bn new ads appear on Facebook Marketplace each month and Securely has developed a payment rail to stop the millions of scams that occur.
Rob Neely said "We’re absolutely thrilled that an Aussie startup from Noosa Heads can come to Europe, stand toe-to-toe with the biggest players in global payments, and take home the top prize. Winning Best Startup Innovation at MPE 2025 proves that world-class fintech can come from anywhere—and Securely is just getting started. This is a win not just for us, but for Australian innovation on the global stage."
Securely is now in 35 active licensing discussions across the USA, EU, Africa, Asia, New Zealand, and India—where the company is engaging directly with the Reserve Bank of India.
And it doesn’t stop there. A Nasdaq listing is already on the cards for early 2026. Securely isn’t just making waves—it’s rewriting the future of payments from the beaches of Noosa to the boardrooms of the world
