As Decusatio Working Capital Solutions, we extend heartfelt congratulations to all the outstanding finalists and winners announced at the 2025 FNB App of the Year Awards. This year’s cohort of apps — spanning healthcare, enterprise, education, agriculture, finance, gaming and more — represents the very best of South Africa’s and Africa’s digital ingenuity.
Why this matters for South Africa
At Decusatio WCS, we believe a thriving entrepreneurship and startup ecosystem is vital for our country’s growth and resilience. The success of young, ambitious founders and tech-led enterprises is not just a win for them — it’s a win for all of us.
- Innovation fuels economic inclusion. The FNB App of the Year Awards highlight home-grown talent building tools that solve real problems — from improving rural healthcare to reducing friction in enterprise workflows and creating new opportunities in agriculture, education, and financial services.
- Access to funding and support unlocks potential. One of the biggest challenges facing entrepreneurs in South Africa is access to capital and resources. As a provider of working capital solutions, we know just how critical timely and flexible funding can be for turning ideas into impact.
- Digital platforms accelerate scale and social impact. Apps such as this year’s winner — Vula Medical — show the transformative power of technology. Vula Medical has facilitated over 2.5 million patient referrals across 2,300+ facilities and supports more than 100 categories of health workers — dramatically improving access to specialist care in rural and underserved areas.

For 14 years and counting, the FNB App of the Year platform has grown into Africa’s premier celebration of app development — recognising solutions across consumer, enterprise, health, education, agriculture, fintech, and more.
These awards play a crucial role in unlocking the digital ecosystem by:
