Award recognizes workplace culture and employee experience

White Clay, a leading provider of relationship profitability and analytics software for banks and credit unions, has been named one of the 2026 Best Places to Work in Fintech, ranking fifth on the list. The awards program was created in 2017 and is a project of Arizent and Best Companies Group.

This annual survey and awards program recognizes the top employers in the financial technology industry. Honorees operate across a wide range of financial services sectors, including banking, mortgages, insurance, payments and financial advisory. To be eligible, companies must provide technology products or services that support financial services delivery, have been in business for at least one year, and employ at least 15 people in the U.S.

"Each year, the Best Places to Work in Financial Technology offers a glimpse into the practices of fintechs whose employees rate their workplaces highly," said Penny Crosman, executive editor of technology at American Banker. "This year, employees appear to value remote work and schedule flexibility above all else, at a time when many traditional financial firms have enforced strict return-to-work policies."

Companies from across the United States entered a two-part survey process to determine Arizent’s Best Places to Work in Fintech. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process, analyzed the data and determined the final ranking.

“We’re proud to be recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in Fintech, especially since this recognition is based in large part on feedback from our employees,” said Mac Thompson, founder and CEO of White Clay. “Since founding White Clay in 2006, building a strong culture and creating a positive employee experience have always been priorities for us. 20 years later, it’s rewarding to see those values continue to define who we are as a company.”
