Elbaite’s nominations in the following categories highlight the company’s unwavering commitment to excellence, both internally and externally.

Mortaza Tollo, co-founder and CEO of Elbaite, thanked the dedicated team at Elbaite, “A huge thank you to our hardworking team for their dedication and effort. These nominations validate our commitment to creating a secure, user-friendly, and innovative platform for our customers”.
