QuickFi® has won the 2026 Finovate Award for Best SMB/SME Banking Solution. Finovate announced the award Sept. 10, during FinovateFall week in New York City, where QuickFi also demonstrated its platform live on stage this week.

QuickFi was chosen from a finalist field of six that included Visa, Fundbox, Candescent, Akbank and ANNA Money. It is the company's fourth Finovate Award, following Best SMB/SME Banking Solution in 2022 and Best Embedded Finance Solution in 2023 and 2024.

QuickFi lets a business owner apply for, sign and fund an equipment loan or lease in minutes from a mobile device, at the point of sale, at any hour — without waiting on a bank employee. Banks and equipment manufacturers embed QuickFi under their own brand, and agentic AI now supports the customer lifecycle from application through servicing.

"Four Finovate Awards belong to a small team that decided a business owner should be able to finance a machine the way they buy everything else — on a phone, in minutes, at any hour," said Bill Verhelle, CEO of QuickFi. "The banks and equipment manufacturers we serve are the ones who make that real for their customers every day. This award is as much theirs as ours."
