This week, Inc. Magazine announced the 2018 Inc. 5000, a list of the 5000 fastest growing private companies in America, and CardFlight made it to the 139th place on the list! What’s even more impressive is that the three-year growth rate of over 2900% that placed our company on the list also put us in the top 5 fastest growing companies in the Financial Services sector. In addition, CardFlight ranked no. 19 fastest growing among New York companies.


A sales growth rate of 2900% in three years is quite an achievement. And it’s not the only type of growth we’ve experienced during this timeframe:

  • We’re providing payment acceptance technology for a large number of merchant acquirers to offer their merchants. Among them, 10 of the top 30 merchant acquirers in the US are our customers.
  • We’ve led the way in EMV payment acceptance in the US, and are still ahead of the industry, with more than 93% of SwipeSimple merchants now EMV enabled, and over 84% enabled for EMV Quick Chip, offering increased security and better customer experience at checkout.
  • We’ve expanded our product offering, which includes payment acceptance features that serve the diverse needs of many types of merchants and provide the tools they need to take payments and improve their business.
  • Offering a superior product suite also led to us serving more than 45,000 merchants in all 50 states.
  • The CardFlight team grew quite a bit – we are now 38 team members working from New York, NY and Lincoln, NE


In honor of the Inc. 5000 win, our amazing team, and all this tremendous growth, we held a celebration in our office, and we wanted to share some pictures of our celebration with you here. Thank you for being a part of the CardFlight community!
