Arad Levertov, CEO and co-founder, Sunbit, said, “When we started Sunbit, we set out to win the trust of all Americans, and to offer consumers better financial choices. By staying focused, eliminating financial waste, and optimizing our proprietary technology, we always put the customer at the center of our efforts, making a long-lasting impact on their lives. People who use Sunbit are rethinking what personal finance can be.”

Sunbit’s BNPL technology is the leader in its core markets, in large part because of the company’s B2B2C focus on partnering with merchants and investing in educating and engaging merchant associates. Today, more than 200,000 associates have offered Sunbit to millions of customers, recognizing Sunbit as a valued customer amenity, with more than 70% of those offered Sunbit accepting, and nearly 30% becoming repeat customers.

After successfully launching its turnkey, no-fee co-branded credit card for brands like Ollie’s Bargain Outlet, Sunbit expanded in 2025 with a no-limit, no-fee rewards credit card for existing customers — giving them more flexible personal finance options.

Levertov continued, “Graduates of the Forbes Fintech 50 include some of the most successful public fintechs in the country, along with private innovators reshaping the sector. Being included among them is exciting. Earning a spot three years in a row is a true honor, and we’re deeply grateful for the recognition and for the exceptional team whose work made it possible.”
