VFX Financial has been named one of CNBC’s World’s Top Fintech Companies 2026, following a period of exponential growth driven by high client demand and growing interest in our alternative banking and currency risk management solutions.
In 2025 alone, VFX’s revenue increased by 84%, our global team grew to more than 100 people and we continued to expand our international presence and product capabilities. This recognition marks another significant milestone as VFX prepares to enter its next phase of growth.
Developed by CNBC in collaboration with Statista, the annual ranking highlights the top 500 companies shaping the future of financial services through technology, innovation and scalable digital solutions.
Recognition backed by growth
VFX’s growth accelerated following its acquisition in 2022 by Henry Lisney and members of the current management team. Since then, the business has been transformed from a generalist FX provider into a specialist alternative banking and currency risk management partner, designed for organisations whose financial requirements span multiple entities, jurisdictions and high-compliance environments.
Today, VFX operates from five global offices and supports billions of US dollars in transactions annually. This growth is being driven by increasing demand for financial infrastructure capable of handling the complex international requirements of modern businesses.
From UK recognition to the global stage
Being included in CNBC’s 2026 global ranking follows our inclusion in CNBC’s 2025 ranking of the UK’s Top Fintech Companies.
VFX was also recognised by the Financial Times FT1000 as one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies, named among London’s fastest-growing businesses by the UK Fast Growth Index and awarded No.1 Foreign Exchange Provider at the Wealth & Finance Fintech Awards.
Henry Lisney, CEO of VFX Financial, said:
““Being named one of CNBC’s World’s Top Fintech Companies is a brilliant achievement for VFX and a testament to how far we have come in such a short time.
“Our growth has been built on a clear understanding of the challenges our clients face and a real hunger to solve them, particularly for organisations whose needs extend beyond standard solutions.”
“I would also like to thank our clients and partners for their continued trust. Their support has been fundamental to our progress, and we are incredibly excited about what comes next.”
Our culture of ownership remains central to that progress. Most eligible VFX employees are equity holders, aligning the success of our people directly with the success of the business and our clients.
The next phase of VFX
We are continuing to develop our product offering, strengthen our international capabilities and invest in the technology needed to support organisations with complex financial requirements at scale.
We are also working on significant developments that will shape the next chapter of VFX and better reflect the breadth, ambition and global relevance of the business we have become.
We look forward to sharing more over the coming months.
