LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Inc. magazine today revealed that Sunbit is No. 30 on its fourth annual Inc. 5000 Regionals: Pacific list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing Pacific private companies, based in California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Alaska. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the Pacific economy’s most dynamic segment– its independent small businesses.
Arad Levertov, CEO of Sunbit, said, “The Pacific region is home to some of the country’s most relevant and influential companies, many of which earned recognition on this list in years past. We are both humbled and proud to be among the Pacific leaders honored today. Even as we have brought in-person BNPL and the Sunbit Card to millions of consumers nationwide, we remain deeply rooted in Southern California.”
The companies on this list show a remarkable rate of growth across all industries in the Pacific region. Between 2020 and 2022, these 170 private companies had an average growth rate of 162.77 percent; by 2023, they’d also added 10,689 jobs and $5.5 billion to the region’s economy.
Complete results of the Inc. 5000 Regionals: Pacific, including company profiles, can be found at inc.com/Pacific starting February 27, 2024. You’ll also find an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, metro area, and other criteria.
“The honorees in our Inc. 5000 network are the Who’s Who of private companies. They’re energizing regional economies as they engineer the future of their industries. Learn who they are and what they do — they’ll be impacting things for a while,” said Eric Hagerman, Special Projects Editor at Inc. Media.
Sunbit builds financial technology for everyday expenses. We offer access to a next-generation, no-fee credit card that can be managed through a powerful mobile app and a leading BNPL solution built for in-person everyday transactions.
By creating fast, flexible experiences in spaces dominated by traditional credit cards, Sunbit technology drives inclusivity, with 90% of applicants approved within 30 seconds – a standout in an industry known for declining approval rates.
Sunbit has served more than 2.6 million loan customers (end of 2023), managing $1 billion in loans annually. It is the dominant (45% of auto services) or fastest-growing solution (dental) in its verticals. With its b2b2c model, Sunbit reaches consumers through merchant partners and retail brands.
