TORONTO, Sept. 27, 2019 /CNW/ - Flexiti Financial ("Flexiti"), a leading fintech and provider of point-of-sale consumer financing solutions for retailers, is pleased to announce it placed No. 11 on the inaugural Report on Business ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies.
Canada's Top Growing Companies ranks Canadian companies on three-year revenue growth. Flexiti earned its spot with three-year growth of 3,245%.
Flexiti is the first fintech in Canada to provide instant financing on any device, in-store or online. Customers receive credit approval within minutes and are instantly assigned a virtual credit line that can be used to make big-ticket purchases anywhere with the Flexiti Network. Flexiti's award winning and globally scalable technology platform requires no POS integration for in-store financing and can be easily integrated into retailers' existing e-commerce platforms, allowing retailers to offer the same financing solution across all channels to increase revenue and build loyalty – a first in Canada.
"We're absolutely thrilled to reach the No. 11 spot on the Globe and Mail's ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies," said Peter Kalen, Founder and CEO of Flexiti. "Since our inception, we have worked hard to help retailers drive sales while giving consumers a payment option better suited to their individual lifestyles. Our rapid growth clearly demonstrates that our offering is resonating in the market, and we're excited to continue our growth in Canada, and bring our solution to global markets in the near future. This award is a testament to the drive and passion of our team, and I want to thank them for their relentless commitment to growing Flexiti into a world class company."
Over the past three years, Flexiti has experienced significant growth, including the acquisition of TD Financing Services' $250m Canadian private label credit card portfolio announced June 7, 2018. The acquisition added more than one million new customers and 900 merchant locations to the Flexiti Network of retailers. As a result, Flexiti is now one of Canada's leading fintechs offering flexible payment solutions to retail consumers in the country. Flexiti will continue its rapid growth through domestic and global market expansion.
