CheckAlt Earns Position Among America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies–the Inc. 5000

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – August 14, 2019 – Inc. Magazine revealed today that CheckAlt has earned a spot on its annual Inc. 5000 list, considered the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. CheckAlt is now among many well-known brands such as Microsoft, LinkedIn, Zillow, Yelp, Dell, and others to have gained national recognition as a successful independent business helping power the American economy.

"This is a huge honor,” said CheckAlt’s Co-Chairman and CEO Shai Stern. “I am proud of our employees and thankful to our clients who believe in the mission and vision of CheckAlt. It is because of their dedication to our three-pillar strategy of checks, online bill pay, and card payment processing that CheckAlt is a growing, thriving independent business. Our ability to attract world-class talent helps us further strengthen our position as the leading independent provider of lockbox and integrated receivables solutions in the U.S., while infusing electronic payments for our hundreds of financial institutions and corporate clients. As a fast-paced, high-growth fintech operating across a nationwide network of processing centers, CheckAlt is well positioned for growth in the years to come.”

The companies on this year's Inc. 5000 have been competitive within their markets, according to Inc., while the list as a whole presents staggering growth when compared with past lists. The three-year average growth rate among 2019's Inc. 5000 was 454 percent, with a median growth rate of 157 percent. Aggregate revenue from these fast-growing American companies reached $237.7 billion in 2018, and they are responsible for 1,216,308 jobs active across a three-year span.
 
“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success,” says Inc. Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief James Ledbetter. “There’s no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities.”
