Recognition from FinTech Futures highlights Splitit’s Installments-as-a-Service platform as a category leader for embedded, card-linked installment payments

ATLANTA, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Splitit, the global leader in card-linked installment payments, today announced it won “Best Embedded Payments Solution for Merchants & E-commerce” at the 2026 PayTech Awards, presented by FinTech Futures. The category honors technology providers offering the strongest embedded payments platforms for merchants and e-commerce, judged on modern technology, comprehensive functionality, a fully realized suite of modules, and clear, measurable results for users.

The PayTech Awards celebrate excellence and innovation across the banking, financial technology, and payments sectors, recognizing standout projects, products, services, individuals, and teams. Winners were announced at a ceremony held June 25, 2026, in London, gathering payments and banking leaders from around the world to celebrate the year’s top achievements in paytech.

Splitit’s Installments-as-a-Service platform lets merchants embed card-linked installments directly into their existing payment flows, whether online, in-app, or, with the recent launch of Splitit Go™, in face-to-face sales environments such as home services, healthcare, automotive, and specialty retail. Rather than requiring a new loan, a credit check, or a redirect to a third-party platform, Splitit allows shoppers to use available credit on the cards they already carry, so merchants can offer flexible payment options in seconds while getting paid upfront. Because the entire transaction runs inside the merchant’s own checkout, merchants keep full ownership of the customer relationship, transaction data, and brand experience, with no third-party name inserted into the purchase.

The platform now supports more than 4,500 active merchants across 30 countries, with shoppers able to use it in more than 100 countries and in over 100 currencies. Because it draws on credit already approved by a shopper’s card issuer rather than running a new underwriting decision, Splitit’s approval rates exceed 85%, well above the 35–40% average reported across traditional buy-now-pay-later products. That reach extends to an estimated 1.2 billion cardholders globally who can access Splitit installment payments without applying for anything new, since the underlying credit line already exists on their card.

That reliability shows up in how customers behave after the sale, not just at checkout. Fashionette, a fashion retailer using Splitit, found that transactions completed through the platform had an 18% lower return rate than purchases made as a single payment, a signal that installment shoppers tend to make more deliberate purchasing decisions.

“Embedded payments only work if the shopper never notices them. That’s what we built Splitit for: installments that run on credit shoppers already have, built directly into checkout, with no redirect and no new loan to open,” said Nandan Sheth, CEO at Splitit. “Our merchants are already seeing what that means, higher approval rates and a checkout experience they still fully own. This recognition belongs to them as much as it does to our team.”

This is Splitit’s second honor this year. The Association for Corporate Growth (ACG) Atlanta also recognized Splitit as a 2026 Georgia Fast 40 honoree, celebrating Georgia’s fastest-growing middle-market companies.

RocketReach and Trestle partnership verifies 190 million phone numbers with a 2x higher connection rate

NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RocketReach, the leading sales and lead intelligence platform trusted by more than 30 million users and 95% of the S&P 500, announced their partnership with Trestle, a market leader in enterprise identity verification solutions. This strategic partnership enriches RocketReach’s database of 190 million verified phone numbers with Trestle’s enterprise-level identity data APIs.

Trestle processes more than 500 million queries monthly, delivering low-latency, real-time identity intelligence. As an organization that values data accuracy over inflated coverage, Trestle is lauded for their leading global phone verification performance.

“RocketReach is setting a new verification standard for every phone number they deliver, and we’re proud to be their verification partner. Contact verification usually stops at whether a number exists, without transparency into the checks really taking place. At Trestle, we pair authoritative identity data and proprietary activity signals to grade the quality of every phone record. Pairing verified data with RocketReach’s industry-leading contact database enables sales, recruiting, and marketing teams to form high-quality connections with confidence.” 

— Jordan Reynolds, CRO & Co-founder, Trestle

“Our partnership with Trestle is a huge unlock for RocketReach customers. We’re looking down the barrel of an agentic future, and that future relies heavily on data that’s trusted, verified, and secure. As we prepare to guide our customers through this shift, we can’t be more excited to offer additional phone verification through Trestle. This collaboration strengthens our existing verification process, and allows us to deliver phone grades and filters that boost our customers’ ability to form human connections in an AI era.”

— Scott Kim, CEO, RocketReach 

Every phone number, verified

While traditional phone validation tools offer high-level information – such as a phone’s country code, line type category, “valid” or “invalid” status – few enrich phone data with actionable activity scores and quality grading. RocketReach and Trestle’s strategic partnership aims to address this gap by verifying 100% of RocketReach’s phone database. Analysis conducted by RocketReach found that contacts with phone numbers verified by Trestle are twice as likely to result in a successful connection as contacts that have not been verified yet.

In addition to Trestle-verified phone numbers, all RocketReach users have access to key enhancements such as:

New confidence grading for phones (A, A-, B) that automatically remove invalid (F grade) numbersEnriched line types including mobile, direct dial, and office phones – backed by Trestle’s 99+% accuracyEnhanced search filters that surface contacts by mobile, direct dial, or office phone numbersNew phone grade-powered search that allows users to specify a minimum phone gradeExpanded API support for phone grades, line types, and user contact methods

Trusted data for all

Unlike competitors that charge extra for phone verification, RocketReach is committed to delivering verified sales and contact intelligence from day one. New and existing phone numbers in RocketReach will automatically be verified by Trestle at no additional cost. This added layer of verification gives Pro, Ultimate, and Custom RocketReach users immediate access to vetted phone numbers, line types, and confidence grades directly from their accounts.

“Data is the backbone for any business. That’s why we approach verification as the standard, not an add-on gated behind a paywall. By offering instant access to Trestle-verified numbers, we give our customers the autonomy to skip questionable phone numbers and invest more of their time into driving successful connections.” 

— Scott Kim, CEO, RocketReach

GSMA: Mobile Industry to Contribute US$1.4 Trillion to APAC Economy by 2030 as Digital Trust, AI, Digital Sovereignty and Resilience Take Centre Stage at M360 ASEAN

Published

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mobile technologies and services are projected to contribute US$1.4 trillion to the Asia Pacific economy by 2030, a 40% increase from the US$1 trillion generated today, according to the GSMA’s new Mobile Economy Asia Pacific 2026 report.

Released today in Kuala Lumpur ahead of next month’s M360 ASEAN 2026, the report finds that the next phase of digital growth will be shaped not only by connectivity, but by how governments, operators and technology providers respond to four converging priorities: the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), declining digital trust, demand for more resilient digital infrastructure, and growing interest in digital sovereignty.

Key findings:

5G connections are forecast to reach 1.5 billion by 2030, representing 50% of all mobile connections in Asia Pacific.Operators are expected to invest more than US$200 billion in capital expenditure between 2025 and 2030.The mobile ecosystem supported 18 million jobs across the region in 2025.More than 700 million adults remain offline despite being covered by mobile broadband networks.

Julian Gorman, Head of Asia Pacific, GSMA, said: “The mobile industry is playing an increasingly important role in shaping Asia Pacific’s digital future. As this report shows, economies and societies across the region are becoming increasingly digital, with mobile networks serving as the foundation for AI adoption, digital trust and resilient digital infrastructure. As governments place greater emphasis on digital sovereignty and citizens expect stronger protection from scams, fraud and cyber threats, the responsibilities placed on our industry continue to grow. M360 ASEAN brings together policymakers, industry leaders and innovators to address these challenges, strengthen trust and ensure digital transformation delivers long-term economic and social benefits for everyone.”

Many of the issues highlighted in the report, including AI adoption, digital trust, digital sovereignty, network resilience and digital inclusion, will be explored in depth at M360 ASEAN, taking place in Kuala Lumpur on 9-10 September 2026.
