We’re proud to share that Inclined was named the #3 Best Place to Work in Fintech in 2024 by American Banker and Best Companies Group.
In a year when many fintechs were still recovering from layoffs and industry-wide uncertainty, this recognition means even more. It highlights companies that are not only building innovative products, but also creating workplaces where employees feel supported, heard, and inspired to do their best work.
What Makes This Award Meaningful
The Best Places to Work in Fintech ranking is based on a rigorous two-part evaluation process:
-
Company Survey – An in-depth review of workplace policies, benefits, and practices.
-
Employee Survey – A comprehensive engagement and satisfaction survey measuring leadership, communication, culture, and trust.
The data tells a compelling story about the 2024 winners:
-
93% of employees at winning companies said they have confidence in their organization’s leadership.
-
93% said corporate communication is frequent and transparent.
-
More than two-thirds of winners offer paid volunteer time off.
The companies that made the list stood out because their employees genuinely believe in their leadership, feel informed, and feel valued.
Inclined is honored to be among them.

Accountability
These aren’t words on a wall. They shape how we collaborate, make decisions, and support one another. We move quickly and take bold action, but we do it with trust, openness, and a shared commitment to doing things the right way.
We’re a gritty, ambitious team that loves solving hard problems. We hire top talent, which means everyone is surrounded by smart, driven people they can learn from every day, and because we’re building something genuinely new and interesting, the work is meaningful.

We also back up our commitment to employee wellbeing with meaningful benefits, including contributing $3,000 annually to each employee’s health savings account.
A Culture Built for the Long Term
In a competitive and evolving fintech landscape, it’s easy to focus solely on product and growth, but sustainable success starts with people.
At Inclined, we believe that when you create an environment where employees feel empowered, informed, and trusted, great outcomes follow — for customers, partners, and the company as a whole.
Being named a 2024 Best Place to Work in Fintech is an incredible honor. More importantly, it reinforces what we strive to build every day: a company where talented people can grow, collaborate, and do the best work of their careers.
