Zip Named to CNBC’s World’s Top Fintech Companies 2025

Agentic procurement orchestration leader joins the ranks of Visa, Stripe, Brex, and Navan on prestigious list

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zip, the world’s leading agentic procurement orchestration platform, today announced its inclusion in CNBC’s World's Top Fintech Companies 2025 list in the Enterprise Fintech category. Developed in partnership with Statista, the annual ranking evaluated over 2,000 companies based on comprehensive performance metrics across key fintech sectors. The recognition adds to recent Zip honors, which include Forbes 2025 Fintech 50, Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies of 2025, Inc.’s Best in Business Awards, and more.

“Being recognized by CNBC validates our belief that procurement is no longer seen as a back-office function, it’s become mission-critical for the financial health of every global enterprise,” said Rujul Zaparde, Co-founder and CEO of Zip. “In just five years, we’ve gone from a startup to the platform trusted by the world’s largest companies to manage their most complex purchasing decisions.”

Zip’s selection in the Enterprise Fintech category – which recognizes companies delivering technology-driven solutions for financial institutions and businesses – comes as Zip experiences unprecedented growth, driven most recently by its June 2025 launch of its agentic AI suite that allows companies to autonomously handle complex procurement tasks. Zip’s specialized agents, each focused on a single function like tariff analysis, contract review, or compliance checking, are helping Fortune 500 companies eliminate millions of hours of manual work while reducing risk and driving savings.

The platform’s impact on enterprise operations has been profound:

• Customers average 3.6% in annual spend savings
• Companies gain 25% in productivity through automated workflows
• Snowflake alone has saved $305 million annually using Zip
• Discover Financial increased procurement throughput by 67%
• The platform maintains 100% retention across strategic enterprise customers

Since its founding in 2020, Zip has redefined enterprise procurement, growing from a simple intake solution to a comprehensive orchestration platform processing billions in corporate spending. The company’s October 2024 Series D funding of $190 million at a $2.2 billion valuation – the largest investment in procurement technology in over two decades – underscored investor confidence in Zip’s vision.

Today, Zip serves many of the world’s largest and most innovative companies, including AMD, Anthropic, Discover, Northwestern Mutual, OpenAI, Reddit, Sephora, and Snowflake. As supply chain disruptions, inflation, and tariffs continue to challenge global businesses, these enterprises rely on Zip to transform procurement from a cost center into a strategic advantage.
