Zip has been named to the Forbes Fintech 50, now for the second year in a row.

The list, compiled annually by Forbes reporters and editors, recognizes the most innovative private companies transforming finance through technology, and this year we were named in the 'The Future Of Wall Street And Enterprise' category. While we were thrilled to make the list last year, to be included again in 2026 proves that what we’re building here at Zip truly has staying power.

What’s changed at Zip since last year

A lot, actually. Over the past year we launched more than 50 specialized AI agents that handle high-value tasks across procurement, finance, legal, IT, and security.

We were named a Visionary in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Source-to-Pay Suites, the youngest company recognized. And we continued to grow our customer base across industries including telecom, financial services, retail, and technology.

What the customers are actually seeing

To date, Zip has saved customers more than $6 billion and processed hundreds of billions in spend across more than 7 million suppliers. Some examples of customer success from the past year:

OpenAI saves 1,400 hours annually with Zip
Canva boosted procurement productivity by 250%
Dollar Tree identified more than $125 million in savings

We also expanded deployments at Snowflake, Anthropic, AMD, and Discover Financial, grew to over 700 employees globally, and stood up an Enterprise Transformation Office led by former Fortune 500 CPOs from UnitedHealth Group, MGM Resorts, and Sanofi.

Why this recognition matters

Supplier spend is the second-largest line item for most companies, and the technology managing it has been largely unchanged for decades. Zip exists to change that, replacing fragmented tools and manual processes with a single AI platform that procurement teams and employees actually want to use.

Being recognized by Forbes is a tremendous honor. Earning it with results customers can actually point to is even better.
