ALPHARETTA, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ValidiFI, Inc., a leading provider of alternative data and predictive analytics, is excited to announce it has won the 2026 Finovate Award for Best Corporate Payments Solution. The annual awards recognize financial institutions (FIs) and fintech companies driving innovation.

The award recognizes ValidiFI's Bank Account and Payment Intelligence Platform, which helps organizations improve payment confidence by delivering a comprehensive view of account validity, ownership authentication, behavioral patterns, payment performance, and fraud risk before a transaction occurs. By connecting the account, the consumer, and the financial behaviors behind every transaction, ValidiFI brings hidden risk and payment signals into focus. Through insights into account tenure, transaction velocity, payment performance, and fraud indicators, the platform enables organizations to reduce failed payments, strengthen fraud detection and improve operational efficiency across corporate payment workflows.

"As consumer expectations accelerate and payment ecosystems become more complex, organizations have less time to assess risk and more pressure to make the right decision before a transaction occurs," said John Gordon, CEO of ValidiFI. "We're proud to be recognized by Finovate for helping organizations gain a more complete view of the account, the consumer, and the behaviors behind every payment. By bringing these critical insights into focus, we help businesses uncover the signals that often remain hidden, enabling more confident decisions, fewer payment failures, stronger fraud detection, and greater operational efficiency."

ValidiFI's platform is powered by one of the industry's largest bank account and payment intelligence networks, delivering predictive insights that help organizations validate accounts, authenticate ownership and identify emerging payment risks. The platform supports a wide range of payment use cases, including onboarding, account validation, ACH payments, disbursements, and vendor payments.

The Finovate Awards recognize FIs and fintech companies driving innovation across financial services. The Best Corporate Payments Solution category honors organizations advancing how businesses move money and make payments.
