Atlanta-based fintech continues to demonstrate rapid growth and innovation
ATLANTA — Aug. 13th, 2024 — Relay Payments, the fintech company modernizing payments for the trucking and logistics industries, has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States. In its first year of eligibility for the prestigious Inc. 5000 list, Relay debuts as the 61st fastest-growing in the country. It comes in at No. 36 for Georgia-based companies.
"To be able to achieve this goal in our first year of eligibility is truly incredible," said co-founder and CEO Ryan Droege. "I cannot say thank you enough to our amazing team, customers, and partners for driving our growth."
The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, rising capital costs, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. In total, this year's Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.
This recognition adds to a string of awards Relay has won for its innovation, customer service, and organizational culture. Earlier this year, Relay was named one of Inc Magazine's Best Workplaces and Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies. Additionally, Forbes named the company one of America's Best Startup Employers, and the Atlanta Business Chronicle named CEO Ryan Droege its Most People-Focused CEO. Relay has also been honored in Newsweek's Most Loved Workplace rankings, FreightWaves' FreightTech 100 list, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Top Workplaces.
Founded in 2019 by Droege and Spencer Barkoff and headquartered in Atlanta, Relay offers digital payments designed for the trucking and logistics industries. Since launching only five years ago, the fintech company's technology has been rapidly adopted by carriers and logistics firms prioritizing security, efficiency, and modern technology. It allows fleets to make secure payments for fuel, lumpers, parking, scales, and other over-the-road expenses. Relay's payment network is now trusted by 350,000+ drivers, 90,000+ carriers, and 1,600+ truckstops.
