AWARDS, RANKINGS, AND/OR RECOGNITIONS

The Finovate Finalists were announced in July 2023.  Please refer to their website to understand more about the judging process.

The ratings or awards received by Crystal are based on independent evaluations conducted by Finovate, a third-party entity. Finovate has its own methodologies and criteria for assessment. Crystal disclaims any responsibility or liability for any claims, damages, losses, or expenses arising from reliance on Finovate’s ratings or awards. You are encouraged to conduct your own research and due diligence when making decisions related to Crystal’s services. While Crystal participated in the evaluation process, it affirms that Finovate maintains independent decision-making processes and Crystal does not influence the outcome of Finovate’s evaluations. Crystal aims to ensure that the information provided to Finovate for evaluation is accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive. However, it cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of all data used in the assessment.

Any awards, rankings and/or recognition by unaffiliated rating services and/or publications should not be construed as a guarantee that you will experience a certain level of results, as an indication of future performance, nor should it be construed as a current or past endorsement of Crystal Capital Partners, LLC. Such awards, rankings and/or recognition were based in part on subjective criteria and a limited universe of candidates, and therefore there can be no assurance that a different panel of judges would not have selected other submissions as the winners.
