Recognized by event attendees for its Buy Now, Pay Later infrastructure, designed to help financial institutions compete against third-party providers
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — equipifi, the leading provider of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) infrastructure for banks and credit unions, was named a Best of Show winner at FinovateFall 2026. equipifi was one of eight fintechs to earn the honor out of seventy two companies that demoed live on stage, as voted on by the Finovate audience of banking executives, investors, and industry press.
equipifi enables a white-label flexible payment product that banks and credit unions can offer directly inside their digital banking experience. The demo, presented by equipifi founder and CEO Bryce Deeney, walked through the account holder journey from discovering and using their personalized purchasing power, to shopping and payment. The product keeps the banking app and the banking relationship at the center of the experience, opening new ways for financial institutions to compete for engagement and grow revenue.
“Winning Best of Show validates something we’ve believed since day one: that BNPL is core financial infrastructure, and that purchasing power should come from financial institutions,” said Bryce Deeney. “Fintech BNPL solutions start at commerce to disrupt banking relationships. equipifi gives financial institutions a way to compete, and to support consumers in their shopping decisions.”
“Congratulations to equipifi on their Best of Show win,” said Greg Palmer, host of Finovate. “Their BNPL solution enables financial institutions to give consumers flexible payments and personalized purchasing power at scale. Giving financial institutions the power of a consumer fintech is clearly something that resonated strongly with our audience.”
equipifi’s platform has helped hundreds of financial institutions launch BNPL. Its Best of Show recognition arrives as bank- and credit union-issued BNPL continues to gain ground against third-party lenders, with more financial institutions looking to keep flexible payments, and the relationships attached to them in-house.
