What an incredible week in New York City!
For the third year in a row, our leadership team—CEO Timothy Li and Chief of Staff Eric King, headed to the big city to represent LendAPI at Finovate Fall 2026. Returning to Finovate year after year allows us to share our vision with the broader banking and FinTech ecosystem, showcase our evolving platform, and connect with the boldest innovators in the financial space.
Stepping into the Spotlight: IMPACT Founders & Founders Booth
This year’s conference brought exciting new opportunities to engage directly with leaders across the industry:
IMPACT Founders Event: We were honored to pitch at the brand-new IMPACT Founders event, sharing the stage alongside some of the most dynamic and groundbreaking startups in FinTech today.
Founders Booth: Throughout the conference, our Founders Booth was buzzing with energy. We had the privilege of engaging in deep, insightful conversations with chief executives from banks, credit unions, and emerging FinTechs, exploring how customizable digital onboarding and orchestration can transform their lending workflows.
Demos, Partnerships, and Big Awards
Live product demonstrations are at the heart of what we do. At this year's event, we had the opportunity to demo LendAPI’s sub-second digital onboarding, decision engine, and loan management capabilities to a number of forward-thinking credit unions looking to modernize their lending experience.
The hard work paid off in a big way: LendAPI was officially awarded Emerging FinTech of the Year at Finovate Fall 2026!
Winning this honor on the heels of taking home the coveted Best of Show award at Finovate Fall 2025 is a surreal testament to our global team’s relentless dedication to engineering seamless, high-impact lending technology.
Connecting On and Off the Floor (Go Yankees!)
Beyond the main stages and exhibit halls, one of the best parts of our week was spending quality face-to-face time in NYC with our valued clients, strategic partners, and supportive investors.
To top off an already unforgettable trip, we stepped away from the conference floor to kick back and catch a classic MLB matchup: taking in a game between the New York Yankees and the Colorado Rockies at historic Yankee Stadium.
Looking Ahead
To our clients, investors, partners, and the entire Finovate community—thank you for your continued trust and belief in our journey. We’re leaving NYC energized, inspired, and ready to keep pushing the boundaries of modern digital lending infrastructure.
