NEW YORK, August 4, 2026 — Vitesse, the financial infrastructure connecting the global insurance ecosystem, has been named to the World's Top Fintech Companies 2026 list, published by CNBC in partnership with Statista. This marks the second consecutive year Vitesse has made the list.
Now in its fourth year, the report identifies fintech companies demonstrating strong performance across a range of segments, including payments, neobanking, alternative financing, wealth technology, digital assets, enterprise fintech, insurtech and regtech. The evaluation combines general industry indicators with segment-specific performance criteria, drawing on publicly available data and information gathered through an open application process.
“This is a reflection of the trust our clients place in us every day to move money reliably across the insurance ecosystem,” said Phil McGriskin, CEO of Vitesse. “As the insurance market enters a new era of agentic operations, the need for absolute precision in how funds move remains critical. At Vitesse, we connect the industry’s participants and enable them to move money quickly, efficiently, and securely. Our continued growth in transactions, and network participants is evidence of the trust we have built with the market and the value we continue to deliver.”
Vitesse's inclusion on the list for a second straight year follows continued growth in the company's payments and financial infrastructure business, as insurers, MGAs and claims organizations move toward faster, more transparent payment processes across the insurance value chain.
The platform was built to solve a problem general payment and banking tools were never designed to handle: moving money across a delegated, multi-party insurance value chain, from premium collection through to claims payment. It gives carriers, MGAs, TPAs and brokers real-time visibility and control over funds, so money can be optimized and safeguarded rather than sitting idle in fragmented accounts. Fund flows are automated end to end, including real-time global payments, connecting insurers to a single digital-first network rather than a patchwork of individual bank relationships. Every new participant makes that network more valuable to everyone already on it, letting insurers scale with confidence and make better decisions using real-time data and insights.
