Groundbreaking Fintech Honored as “Future Lendtech – Credit Decisions”
Toronto, June 6, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Uplinq Financial Technologies, the world’s first credit decision support platform for small business lenders, today announced that the company has been named a winner in the “Future of Lendtech – Credit Decisions” category at the 2024 Banking Tech Awards USA.
Last year, the pioneering fintech company won the “Fintech Startup of the Year – Lending” category. This year, Uplinq was also a finalist in the “Lendtech Startup of the Year” category.
“We are truly honored to be recognized by the Banking Tech Awards USA for the second year in a row,” said Uplinq CEO Ron Benegbi. “It clearly reflects our progress in democratizing access to working capital for small business owners around the world. With our unprecedented AI-powered technology and alternative data solutions, we are equipping lenders with the tools they need to make more affordable and ethical loans to qualified entrepreneurs around the world, and this is just the beginning.”
The Banking Tech Awards recognize outstanding achievements and success in the banking and fintech industries across the U.S., including banks, financial institutions, software providers, teams and individuals who contribute to the world’s leading financial services centers and the burgeoning fintech market.
Today’s announcement builds on a series of significant corporate milestones for Uplinq, which this spring added two prominent strategic advisors to its team: Matt Baker, former head of North American small business and global banking and payments executive at Visa Commercial Solutions, and Derek Ellington, well-known financial services leader and former head of business banking at Wells Fargo. Earlier this year, Uplinq released a white paper in collaboration with Cornerstone Advisors on fair and accessible lending for small businesses and was named to MasterCard’s prestigious Start Path Small Business program.
The Banking Tech Awards USA is hosted by FinTech Futures, a global market intelligence platform for financial services technology.
