Zafin has been recognized on CNBC’s World’s Top Fintech Companies 2026 list in the Enterprise Fintech category for the second consecutive year. This recognition, presented by CNBC and Statista Inc., highlights the most innovative and influential fintech companies around the globe across eight market segments.
Why this recognition matters
Zafin builds the infrastructure that regulated financial institutions rely on to modernize product and pricing, govern complex operations, and deliver on customer commitments at scale. Being recognized in the Enterprise Fintech category reflects our focus on the hard problems: auditability, complex integration, and controlled modernization for institutions where getting it right is non-negotiable.
Two consecutive years on this list tells me we are solving the right problems. The financial institutions we serve are navigating real complexity, regulatory pressure, rising customer expectations, and the need to move faster without compromising control. We build technology that makes that possible. What drives us now is deepening that impact: serving more institutions, solving harder problems, and setting a new benchmark for innovation in regulated industries.
