Balance, a leading financial infrastructure platform, announced today that it has been recognized on CNBC’s list of the World’s Top Fintech Companies of 2025. This prestigious award is presented by CNBC and Statista Inc., a global statistics portal and industry ranking provider, and reflects Balance’s role in modernizing B2B payments and facilitating trade.

To compile the list, CNBC and Statista analyzed over 2,000 individual companies across seven market segments, evaluating each one against a set of key performance indicators including revenue, user numbers, and total funding raised. Balance was awarded in the Payments category.

Balance’s recognition as a Top Fintech Company follows the recent news of their partnerships with Instacart Business and Alibaba.com, where it now powers flexible B2B payments and embedded invoicing for U.S. business customers.

B2B merchants and platforms are increasingly recognizing that traditional payment, credit, and accounts receivable workflows fail to scale effectively and underserve their buyers, particularly small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) which face significant barriers to securing favorable payment terms. In response, merchants are leveraging Balance's solutions to deliver seamless embedded billing and net terms at scale while eliminating credit risk and AR overhead.

“We’re thrilled to be named one of the World’s Top Fintech Companies,” said Bar Geron, CEO and Co-Founder of Balance. “This recognition speaks not only to Balance’s rapid growth, but also to a broader shift in B2B commerce, where payments are no longer seen as back-office infrastructure but as a powerful engine for growth. We’re proud to build the infrastructure that enables merchants to offer seamless B2B payments, helping them move faster, sell more, and scale with confidence.
