Worth's Remarkable Growth: New Investments and Enhanced Financial Solutions
In an era marked by rapid digital transformation, Worth, a comprehensive fintech platform specializing in underwriting and onboarding automation, has made impressive strides in the financial services landscape. Recently, the company disclosed key accomplishments that highlight its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. Over the past year, Worth has welcomed an array of notable enterprise clients and secured strategic investments that enhance its operational capabilities and market reach.
Unmatched Customer Adoption and Growth
Since its launch, Worth has garnered significant traction among industry giants. Esteemed clients such as Aurora Payments and Wave Financial, along with numerous major banks and credit unions, have adopted its platform, integrating Worth's solutions into their operational frameworks. By unifying workflow automation with essential services—such as Know Your Business (KYB) and Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance, bank verification, fraud detection, and credit underwriting—Worth provides a seamless and efficient experience tailored for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
The platform boasts a unique feature that allows for application pre-filling using industry-leading match rates, drastically simplifying onboarding for financial institutions. Among its offerings, Worth presents a comprehensive financial profile of over 240 million small businesses, enabling its clients to make swift, data-driven decisions. In the words of Sal Rehmetullah, Co-Founder and CEO of Worth, "Our customers choose Worth because we provide not only speed but also the accuracy and insights today's institutions need for confident growth."
As the number of enterprise clients grows, Worth continues to focus on four main sectors: financial services, fintech, independent software vendors (ISVs), and credit unions. The company’s cutting-edge technologies—Lightning Verify and Zero-Touch Onboarding—allow financial institutions to onboard clients instantly based on merely three data points: customer name, business name, and tax ID.

Worth's upward trajectory is bolstered by substantial investments from strategic partners intent on propelling the company's innovative solutions further into the marketplace. Noteworthy investors include:

At the core of Worth's progress lies its robust data-driven platform. Consistently recognized for its effective solutions, Worth not only enhances onboarding and underwriting processes but also achieves exceptionally high match rates and data accuracy. Recently, the company was named among the Top 100 Fintech Startups for Workflow Automation by CB Insights, acknowledging its impressive impact within a year of launching.
