A Kelowna company topped yet another national growth list this month, after earning a Top 10 spot on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 list.

Refresh Financial, a startup that offers a suite of financial services to help give a leg up to “under-banked” customers, netted a No. 9 spot of the exclusive list.

According to Deloitte, the Fast 50 list recognizes Canadian technology companies for their “entrepreneurial spirit, innovation, rapid revenue growth, and world-class achievements.”

More specifically, the list ranks 50 of the fastest-growing technology companies in the country, by exactly how fast they are growing.

“Fast 50 winners achieve incredible growth. These companies foster the economic prosperity and success of our country,” explains Anders McKenzie, a managing partner at Deloitte Canada.

This year, for example, Fast 50 winners achieved an average four-year growth rate of 4,625 per cent. At the top of the list this year sits Diply.com, which achieved a growth rate of 92,881 per cent.

Refresh Financial’s respectable ninth ranking came thanks to its 5,483 per cent revenue growth, from 2013 to 2016.

“Being named as one of the fastest growing technology companies in Canada is an affirmation of our company’s focus and dedication to helping improve the financial well-being of Canadians from coast-to-coast,” says Refresh CEO Michael Wendland.

Refreshes place on the Fast 50 list compliments the No. 19 ranking it recently earned on the Startup 50 list of the country’s fastest-growing startups.
