The recognition follows a year of accelerating growth among industrial enterprises and tech platforms modernizing their financial infrastructure.
NEW YORK, July 23rd, 2026 – Balance, the financial infrastructure for physical B2B trade, today announced that it has been named to CNBC’s World’s Top Fintech Companies list in the Payments category for the second year running. The recognition follows a period of rapid growth for Balance, as the company continues to expand its enterprise footprint.
Produced by CNBC and Statista, the annual ranking is based on an in-depth analysis of more than 2,000 eligible fintech companies. Companies were assessed against segment-specific performance indicators.
The recognition reflects Balance’s continued growth as companies across the physical B2B economy actively look to modernize their financial operations.
The AI boom is accelerating demand across power, cooling, manufacturing, and the entire supply chain, raising the need for financial systems built for the complexity, scale, and pace of physical B2B trade. Balance meets that need with API-first infrastructure that unifies payments, digital trade credit, credit risk management, and AI-native Order-to-Cash into one composable layer.
Global technology platforms, distributors, and industrial enterprises use Balance to support complex trade flows, without stitching together fragmented tools in-house.
Over the past year, Balance saw accelerated adoption among both technology platforms and industrial enterprises working with companies including GE Vernova, Alibaba.com, and US Electrical Services, as well as with leading businesses in the HVAC, defense, and semiconductors sectors.
“AI is transforming more than software, it is fueling a new wave of industrial growth and physical infrastructure.” said Bar Geron, CEO and Co-Founder of Balance. “The companies behind this revolution need financial infrastructure that can keep trade moving as demand scales. Balance is increasingly becoming that foundation across the physical economy. We’re proud to be recognized by CNBC for the second consecutive year as we continue building financial infrastructure for physical B2B trade.”
