equipifi Recognized as Best of Show Winner at FinovateFall 2026
equipifi, a provider of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) infrastructure for financial institutions, was named one of eight Best of Show winners at the FinovateFall 2026 event. The recognition came after its live demo showcasing how banks and credit unions can offer flexible payment options directly within their digital banking platforms. The company's solution aims to help traditional financial institutions compete with third-party BNPL providers by keeping purchasing power and customer relationships in-house. equipifi’s CEO, Bryce Deeney, emphasized that the win validates the importance of integrating BNPL as core infrastructure for banks rather than relying on external fintechs. Finovate host Greg Palmer praised the platform's ability to give financial institutions scalable tools typically associated with consumer-focused fintech companies.
