“A commitment to continuous innovation is at the heart of who we are at Relay. We are gratified to receive this recognition for moving the industry forward through innovation,” said CEO and co-founder of Relay Payments Ryan Droege. “We were an award finalist in 2021 as well, and so receiving the honor this year is testament to the work we continue to do to transform our industry.”
