National recognition highlights Beyond Finance’s innovative empathetic support model and measurable impact on clients’ financial wellness

Company recognized with Customer Service Department of the Year Award two years in a row

CHICAGO, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Beyond Finance, the country’s debt consolidation and financial wellness leader, has been named winner of two Gold Stevie® Awards for Customer Service in the 24th Annual American Business Awards®: the Customer Service Department of the Year and Customer Service Innovation of the Year. The honors recognize Beyond Finance’s innovative and empathetic approach to supporting clients on the journey to achieve financial freedom.

This is the second year in a row that the company has been honored with the Stevie American Business Gold Award for Customer Service Department of the Year.

Beyond Finance was recognized for delivering an exceptional and innovative customer experience, led by a more than 300-member Client Success Team which provides 24/7 support to clients tackling their debt. Many Beyond Finance team members are former clients themselves, allowing them to create deep connections in every interaction. In 2025 alone, the company conducted more than 10,000 collective hours of specialized empathy training for its team members.

“Debt isn’t just a financial challenge – it takes a real toll on mental and emotional well-being,” said Lou Antonelli, chief operating officer at Beyond Finance. “Financial wellness is at the core of our customer service experience. Empathy guides everything our team does as we help clients move forward with confidence and regain peace of mind and financial independence. With Americans now carrying a record $1.28 trillion in credit card debt alone, this approach has never been more needed. “

The Stevie Awards judges highlighted Beyond Finance’s strong results in client satisfaction and long-term financial improvement. When surveyed, graduating clients rate their financial habits at an average of 5.9 before working with Beyond Finance, and 8.2 after graduating. Additionally, Beyond Finance maintains a Net Promoter Score of 80, up 10 points since 2023. This widely used metric measures customer loyalty and satisfaction by asking how likely customers are to recommend the company to others.

“At Beyond Finance, the Client Success team listens, cares, and helps clients feel understood during some of life’s most stressful moments,” said Vanessa Hering, EVP of strategy and operations. “By leading with empathy and providing solutions-driven support, our team builds trust and keeps clients focused on building lasting financial wellness. The recognition for our team reinforces the power of compassion in financial wellness.”

Beyond Finance’s approach includes integrated support from accredited financial therapists who lead weekly financial wellness webinars. A mobile app also lets clients track their progress, and a new Financial Wellness resource hub offers educational videos, budgeting guides, and other tools to support better financial habits.

One award program judge commented: “Beyond Finance stands out for its holistic approach to debt relief by addressing the psychological weight of financial struggle. Their integration of financial therapy and specialized empathy training for staff is truly innovative. Helping over one million clients while maintaining an eighty Net Promoter Score proves they deliver compassionate, life-changing results.”

During the exhibition, Felicitysolar showcased solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial energy applications, including the 50kW C&I ESS, 125kW/257kWh system, 125kW/261kWh liquid-cooled all-in-one system, and FLB Series low-voltage residential battery pack.

Felicitysolar also held Chinese and English product presentations on June 3 and June 4, covering commercial and industrial energy storage systems, low-voltage residential battery packs, intelligent management platforms, and the company’s newly developed AI management platform. Through application-oriented explanations, the presentations helped customers better understand the role of Felicitysolar’s products in residential, commercial, and industrial energy management.

Third-party activities during the exhibition added further depth to Felicitysolar’s brand presentation. Intertek issued ETL certificates for Felicitysolar’s energy storage system and photovoltaic inverter products and granted the company Intertek “Satellite Program” laboratory qualification, supporting product access to the North American market and recognizing Felicitysolar’s in-house testing capability. DEKRA presented certificates related to Felicitysolar’s hybrid inverter and energy storage battery system products for European and international standards.

These awards recognized Felicitysolar’s overall development, the FLB Series low-voltage LiFePO4 battery pack, and the 50kW high-voltage hybrid energy storage system, respectively. Together with the third-party activities, the awards highlighted Felicitysolar’s continued progress in product development, quality systems, market readiness, and solution capabilities.

The company also held partner signing ceremonies for Argentina and Chile, strengthening communication and cooperation with partners in Latin America. As energy storage demand grows across regional markets, localized cooperation remains an important part of Felicitysolar’s global development.
