Cutting-edge fintech recognized for its breakthrough AI-powered technology
Uplinq Financial Technologies, the first global credit decisioning support platform for small business lenders, today announced that the company was selected as a 2024 Finovate Awards finalist in the “Most Impactful AI-Based Solution” category.
Crowning 24 winners spanning categories like digital banking, consumer lending, and payments, the Finovate Awards recognize the companies driving fintech innovation forward and the individuals bringing new ideas to life. The full list of this year’s finalists can be viewed here, and the winners will be announced during FinovateFall in September.
“We’re very grateful and proud to be picked as a finalist by the 2024 Finovate Awards, alongside other industry innovators pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in fintech,” said Ron Benegbi, CEO and founder of Uplinq. “Our mission is simple: to expand access to fair working capital for small business owners globally. We deliver on this mission through our AI-powered technology and alternative data sets, so it’s incredibly rewarding to see these exact solutions recognized by such a prestigious institution. It’s only onward and upward for Uplinq – the rest of 2024 and beyond.”
Today’s announcement builds on Uplinq’s remarkable growth trajectory, which includes the recent additions of strategic advisors Matt Baker and Derek Ellington – former Visa and Wells Fargo executives, respectively. 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. In May, Uplinq was selected a Banking Tech Awards USA winner for the second consecutive year.
The Finovate Awards are organized by Informa – a leading international events, digital services and academic research group listed on London Stock Exchange.
