BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Aug. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alacriti, a leading provider of cloud-based payment technology and money movement solutions, announced its rank in the top 150 in the Financial Services category on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list is a prestigious ranking of the nation’s most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia. 

The Inc. 5000 recognition comes on the heels of Alacriti's strategic growth investment led by Sageview Capital, with participation from BMO Capital Partners and Curql Fund. The investment is enabling Alacriti to expand its Orbipay platform across key areas, including AI-driven payments intelligence, fraud prevention, and digital money capabilities such as stablecoins and tokenized deposits, further strengthening its ability to deliver modern, unified, secure, and future-ready payment experiences for financial institutions and businesses. 

"Earning a place on the Inc. 5000 is a significant milestone for Alacriti and a testament to the dedication of our employees, the confidence of our customers, and the strength of our partnerships,” said Manish Gurukula, Co-Founder and CEO of Alacriti. “While instant payments and digital experiences are transforming financial services, we remain committed to driving innovation that empowers our customers to grow and deliver exceptional money movement experiences. We're honored to be recognized alongside so many inspiring companies shaping the future of business."  

Alacriti is experiencing increasing demand for its payments infrastructure solutions. As of the end of Q2 2026, the company serves 14% of the top 100 U.S. financial institutions and 25% of U.S. credit unions with more than $1 billion in assets. Through its Orbipay platform, Alacriti processes more than 96 million transactions annually, representing over $233 billion in payment value and approximately 6.5% of U.S. instant payments volume across the RTP^® network and FedNow^® Service. 

This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs, and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years. 

“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
