[PRESS RELEASE] – BONITA SPRINGS, Fla., Aug. 11, 2026 – Green Check, a purpose-built compliance platform for financial institutions serving specialty and high-risk businesses, has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, marking its second consecutive year among America’s fastest-growing private companies. The annual list from Inc. Magazine recognizes entrepreneurial leaders who drive growth and shape the future of business.
“Being named to the Inc. 5000 list for the second year in a row reflects the trust our customers and partners place in Green Check,” Green Check founder and CEO Kevin Hart said. “While cannabis remains central to our story, the challenges we solve now extend across specialty and high-risk industries where businesses often struggle to access reliable financial services. Our growth and recognition in the financial services sector reinforces the need for technology, expertise and partnerships that help financial institutions serve these markets compliantly and at scale.”
Green Check’s recognition follows another year of strong growth fueled by strategic partnerships, innovation and the continued expansion of its network of financial institutions and connected specialty and high-risk businesses. Green Check’s latest momentum includes:
- $1.7 billion-plus in average monthly verified deposits for its network of financial institution clients, representing 54% year-over-year growth
- 17,500-plus specialty businesses within its ecosystem, representing 35% year-over-year growth
- Launched Green Check Managed Services and Portfolio Management 2.0 to help financial institutions scale specialty banking programs with enhanced acquisition, program management, reporting and analytics capabilities
- Launched The Lending Alliance with Coda Capital Advisors, providing new cannabis lending options for financial institutions and increasing access to capital for the cannabis industry
- Continued industry recognition, including American Banker’s Best Places to Work in Fintech, Forbes’ Cannabis 42.0 list and Fintech Breakthrough’s “Best Regtech”
“This recognition belongs to our team and the customers who continue to challenge us to innovate,” Hart said. “As Green Check enters its next chapter, our focus remains on turning complex compliance requirements into opportunities, strengthening connections across the financial ecosystem and creating new pathways for responsible growth.”
Green Check will be officially recognized at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala this October in Dallas.
