Financial wellness and debt consolidation leader earns top global recognition following a year of record client impact and industry honors
CHICAGO, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Beyond Finance, a leading financial wellness and debt consolidation company, has been named the Gold winner in the Company of the Year – Financial Services and Payments category in Best in Biz Awards 2026 International, the only independent global business awards program judged each year by prominent editors and reporters from top-tier publications around the world.
The international honor recognizes a milestone year for Beyond Finance as the company continues to expand its approach to debt consolidation beyond resolving debt to address the broader behavioral and emotional factors that influence financial wellness.
The Gold award also builds on Beyond Finance’s recognition in the North America-focused Best in Biz Awards competition. In 2025, the company earned Gold in the Customer Service Team category and Bronze for Company of the Year.
“Being named a Gold Company of the Year winner on the international stage is incredibly significant because it recognizes the entire organization and the impact our people are making every day,” said Vanessa Hering, client success officer and EVP of strategy and operations at Beyond Finance. “We’ve worked to redefine what consumers should expect from a debt consolidation company by combining meaningful financial outcomes with personalized support that recognizes the emotional and behavioral realities of debt. Ultimately, our success is measured by the progress our clients make in building stronger financial futures.”
Measurable Results for Clients
The recognition follows the publication of Beyond Finance’s 2025 Client Outcomes Report, which provides a detailed look at the measurable financial outcomes achieved by clients. In 2025 alone, Beyond Finance helped approximately 500,000 clients, resolved $4.7 billion in client debt, and provided approximately $1.1 billion in client savings after fees.
Beyond Finance’s debt resolution approach seeks to reduce the underlying debt balance, allowing clients to resolve enrolled debt for less than the full amount owed. The report found that, on average, individual debts resolved in 2025 were resolved for approximately 51 cents on the dollar before program fees and 72 cents on the dollar after fees.
Expanding the Definition of Debt Consolidation
Beyond Finance has continued to invest in programs designed to address both the practical and emotional dimensions of financial change.
Those efforts include the Financial Wellness RESET™ Framework, a proprietary, clinically-informed model developed by Chief Financial Wellness Advisor Dr. Erika Rasure, PhD, CFT™, as well as five weekly live financial wellness sessions led by certified financial therapists and available to all enrolled clients. The company has also invested in training designed to strengthen empathy, listening, and action-planning among the teams working directly with clients.
The approach has helped Beyond Finance grow to serve more than 1.3 million Americans and resolve more than $15 billion in client debt since 2011.
Building on a Growing Record of Recognition
The international Gold honor adds to a series of awards recognizing Beyond Finance’s customer experience, financial wellness initiatives, and organizational performance.
In the 2025 North American Best in Biz Awards competition, Beyond Finance earned Gold for its Customer Service Team and Bronze in the Company of the Year category. The company has also been recognized with an Organization of the Year award from The Business Intelligence Group’s Excellence in Customer Service Awards, multiple Gold Stevie Awards for Outstanding Customer Service, the Banking Tech Award for Financial Wellness Champion and three ConsumerAffairs Buyer’s Choice Awards.
Best in Biz Awards 2026 International marks the 14th year of the global competition. Unlike business awards programs judged by industry executives, Best in Biz Awards assembles judging panels of editors, writers, broadcasters, and contributors from business, consumer, financial, trade, and technology media and analyst firms.
The 2026 international judging panel included representatives from publications and media organizations across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australia, and the Americas, including Sky News, TechRadar, Irish Independent, and other outlets.
Best in Biz Awards 2026 International recognized organizations across categories including Company of the Year, Most Innovative Company, Customer Service Department, Executive of the Year, Technology Innovation, Corporate Social Responsibility Program, PR Campaign, and Podcast of the Year.
