Core10, Inc. (Core10), a U.S.-based financial technology company that provides lending, account opening, and BaaS products, as well as software development services, today announced it has been named one of the 2023 Best Places to Work in Financial Technology. The awards program was created in 2017 and is a project of Arizent and Best Companies Group. 

This annual survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honour the best employers in the financial technology industry. Companies recognized on this year’s list operate in and serve companies and consumers in a wide range of financial services including banking and mortgages, insurance, payments and financial advisory. 

The 2023 list included 50 companies and was published by Arizent brands American Banker, National Mortgage News, PaymentsSource, Financial Planning and Digital Insurance.

“From the start, Core10 has aimed to bring technology jobs to America and cultivate a strong company culture with our Hereshore philosophy,” said Jeff Hanson, CEO of Core10. “This investment has paid off for us as we would not be as innovative or successful without our fantastic team. We are honored to be recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in Financial Technology. It recognized our greatest asset: our people.”

"Some of the most intriguing technology advances in financial services are developed within fintech firms that partner or compete with traditional banks," said Penny Crosman, executive editor, technology at American Banker. "Best Places to Work in Financial Technology provides a closer look at some of these companies and the culture and benefits that help them attract top talent."

To be considered for participation, companies must provide technology products, services or solutions that enable the delivery of financial services. Companies must also have been in business for at least one full year and employ at least 15 people in the U.S. 

Companies from across the United States entered a two-part survey process to determine Arizent’s Best Places to Work in Financial Technology. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience.  The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process, analyzed the data and determined the final ranking.
