Uplinq Financial Technologies, the first global credit decisioning support platform for small business lenders, announced the company was selected as a 2024 Banking Tech Awards USA winner in the “Lendtech of the Future – Credit Decisioning” category.
Last year, the trailblazing fintech won in the category, “Fintech Startup of the Year – Lending.” Uplinq was also a finalist this year in the “LendTech Startup of the Year” category.
“It’s an absolute honor to be recognized by Banking Tech Awards USA for two years in a row,” said Uplinq CEO Ron Benegbi. “This is an unequivocal reflection of our progress in democratizing access to working capital for small business owners globally. With our unprecedented AI-powered technology and alternative data solutions, we’re equipping lenders with the tools they need to extend more affordable, ethical credit to deserving entrepreneurs around the world. This is just the beginning.”
The Banking Tech Awards recognize the outstanding achievements and successes in the banking and fintech industry across the United States. This includes banks, financial institutions, software providers, teams and individuals that contribute to the world’s leading financial services centers and a rapidly growing fintech market.
Today’s announcement builds on a series of major company milestones from Uplinq, including the high-profile additions of two strategic advisors this spring: global banking and payments executive Matt Baker, former North America Head of Small Business, Visa Commercial Solutions; and prominent financial services leader and former Wells Fargo Head of Business Banking, Derek Ellington. Earlier this year, Uplinq also released a white paper on fair and accessible lending for small business with Cornerstone Advisors and was named to MasterCard’s prestigious Start Path Small Business program.
