Snap Finance received honors in two categories: Company of the Year: Financial Services — Large and Achievement in Diversity & Inclusion.

The recognition reflects Snap Finance’s continued momentum as a leading platform in inclusive consumer finance. Serving more than 7 million consumers and more than 50,000 retail partners nationwide, the company has built its business on the belief that conventional credit scoring leaves a significant share of consumers underserved, and that technology can close that gap profitably and responsibly. Judges highlighted Snap Finance’s use of AI-driven underwriting to expand access to credit, as well as its strong positioning as a leader in inclusive fintech.

“Financial inclusion is not a side mission at Snap,” said Ted Saunders, CEO of Snap Finance. “It is the core of our business model. When we expand access for consumers who have been overlooked by traditional lenders, we create real value for our retail partners and for the people we serve. Being recognized for both our business performance and our commitment to inclusion in the same year reinforces that we are executing on the right strategy.”

The American Business Awards are among the most prominent business honors in the United States, celebrating organizations of all sizes and industries for excellence in performance, innovation, and impact. This year’s program drew thousands of nominations. More than 250 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners.

Snap Finance’s Achievement in Diversity & Inclusion award highlights its ongoing efforts to build a more equitable workplace and customer experience. Through targeted initiatives focused on representation, employee engagement, and community impact, the company has embedded diversity and inclusion into its culture and business strategy.

“This recognition is a testament to the innovation and purpose that drive our organization forward,” Saunders added. “We are committed to building financial solutions that expand opportunity for consumers who have been left out of the traditional credit system, and to fostering a workplace where diverse perspectives are essential to what we build. These awards reflect our team’s dedication and validate that we’re headed in the right direction.”

According to the Stevie Awards organization, this year’s nominees demonstrated a high level of achievement across industries, underscoring the evolving ways companies are driving growth and delivering value in today’s competitive environment.

Winners will be formally recognized at an awards ceremony in New York City this June.
