Fairport, New York (January 15, 2026) – QuickFi® was named a Winner for the third consecutive year in the 2026 BIG Innovation Awards, a global recognition program honoring companies, products, and leaders who are transforming industries through applied innovation, intelligent platforms, and measurable real-world impact. This honor highlights QuickFi’s AI-enabled system of action, replacing the existing business model and traditional software systems of record.
QuickFi joins 159 winners recognized for their contributions to innovation across health, financial services, logistics, manufacturing, and enterprise technology. The 2026 BIG Innovation Awards winners reveal a clear trend: innovation is no longer about just having AI, it’s about how you use it. Winners are building platforms, automating workflows, and focusing on trust, privacy, and security as core to their mission.
QuickFi was recognized for its outstanding contributions to innovation in equipment finance. The patented QuickFi embedded lending platform will define the next operating model for the $1.34 trillion U.S. equipment finance industry. QuickFi’s platform puts borrowers online end-to-end, initiates decisions, orchestrates workflows, interacts directly with customers, and triggers systems of record, rather than bank employees creating a system of action at the moment of intent across origination, credit, documentation, funding, and throughout loan servicing.
“The 2026 BIG Innovation Awards winners show that true innovation is no longer about chasing the latest buzzwords,” said Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer at the Business Intelligence Group. “It’s about building intelligent platforms, automating workflows with purpose, and making trust, privacy, and resilience the foundation of every breakthrough. These organizations and leaders are not just keeping pace with change, they are shaping the future of global business.”
“These tools have a big impact on SMB access to capital,” says Bill Verhelle, QuickFi, CEO. “Fast, secure, low-rate financing for creditworthy small businesses improves the prospects of all small and medium US businesses. We feel like we are doing God’s work, helping banks directly serve these creditworthy small companies again,” Verhelle added.
