Fintech startup is recognized for providing employees with a ‘sense of ownership’ in the company

Union Credit, the first and only marketplace for credit unions to place firm pre-approved, one-click credit offers at the point of purchase, announced today it placed first among the 2024 Best Places to Work in Financial Technology. The awards program was created in 2017 and is a project of Arizent and Best Companies Group.

This annual survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best employers in the financial technology industry across the United States. Companies recognized on this year’s list operate and serve companies and consumers in a wide range of financial services including banking and mortgages, insurance, payments and financial advisory. The winners were selected through a two-part survey process that measured workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems, demographics, and employee experience.

The 2024 list, published by Arizent brands American Banker, National Mortgage News, PaymentsSource, Financial Planning and Digital Insurance on May 6, 2024, included 40 companies, with Union Credit ranking #1.

Union Credit's marketplace launched in summer of 2023 as a game changing acquisition tool for community financial institutions across the nation. Dave Buerger, CEO of Union Credit said, “We are focused on re-invigorating the community banking sector and the value it brings to local communities; and our achievements stem from the hard work of our small but mighty team. We push boundaries, trust in our collective vision and have created a workplace where every voice matters.”

Dave continues, “We believe that our people are at the heart of our mission to empower the community financial institution movement. Being recognized as the #1 company on the Best Places to Work in Financial Technology list reinforces our commitment to our people and the culture we’ve built.”

"Though the fintech industry has faced many headwinds in the past year, the sector is still a vital cog in financial services, bringing ease of use and convenience to consumers and businesses," said Penny Crosman, executive editor, technology at American Banker. "This year's list honors companies that continue to innovate and create jobs for technologists."

To be considered for participation, companies must provide technology products, services or solutions that enable the delivery of financial services. Companies must also have been in business for at least one full year and employ at least 15 people in the U.S. For more information on Arizent’s Best Places to Work in Financial Technology program, including full eligibility criteria, visit www.BestPlacestoWorkFinTech.com or contact Penny Crosman at penny.crosman@arizent.com.
