QuickFi® Named Best SME Banking Solutions Provider at the 2026 Global BankTech Awards

Third consecutive year of recognition from The Digital Banker for the embedded equipment-financing platform — and QuickFi's second major industry award this month

NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- QuickFi^® has been named Best SME Banking Solutions Provider by a Vendor – Overall at the 2026 Global BankTech Awards, presented by The Digital Banker. The award was announced Sept. 24 at the awards' virtual gala, hosted from Singapore.

It is QuickFi's third consecutive year of recognition at the Global BankTech Awards, following Best PaaS (Platform as a Service) Provider of the Year in 2024 and wins in two categories — Best PaaS Provider of the Year and Best SME Banking Solution — in 2025. The award also follows QuickFi's 2026 Finovate Award for Best SMB/SME Banking Solution, announced Sept. 10 in New York.

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.

"Small businesses are the backbone of every economy, yet financing the equipment they run on has too often meant paperwork, waiting and uncertainty," said Bill Verhelle, CEO of QuickFi. "We built QuickFi to change that — 100% digital, 24/7, from application to funding in minutes, with transparent pricing and fair terms. This award belongs to the bank partners who trust us with their customers, to the equipment manufacturers and dealers who put QuickFi in front of their buyers every day, and most of all to the small business owners who chose us."
