Employee survey results place the fintech among the nation’s top employers for leadership, professional development, and workplace flexibility
WAYNE, Pa. — September 23, 2026 — PowerPay has been named a 2026 Top Workplace by The Philadelphia Inquirer, as well as a 2026 Top Workplaces Culture Excellence winner in seven categories, earning honors for Innovation, Work-Life Flexibility, Compensation & Benefits, Leadership, Employee Appreciation, Employee Well-Being, and Professional Development.
The Philadelphia Inquirer ranked PowerPay #39 in the mid-size Financial Services & Insurance category, among 47 organizations across the Philadelphia region. The Culture Excellence program surveys employees at organizations with 150 or more team members and measures results against national benchmarks built from more than 20 years of workforce data.
Powered by Energage, the awards cover how people rate their leaders, how the company invests in their growth, whether benefits keep pace with performance, and how much flexibility and support they experience daily. PowerPay won in every category it was evaluated for.
“I’m humbled by these results, because they came directly from our employees,” said Mike Petrakis, Founder and CEO of PowerPay. “We’ve always believed that if you put your people first, the business will follow. Seeing our team affirm that they feel valued, supported, and given real opportunities to grow tells me we’re living up to that commitment. This recognition belongs to every person at PowerPay who has helped build a culture worth believing in.”
PowerPay has processed over $13 billion in consumer loans since its 2018 launch, with annual volume exceeding $6 billion across home improvement and elective healthcare financing for more than 15,000 contractors and physician networks nationwide. The company operates from its headquarters in Wayne, Pennsylvania, with over 200 employees and a global team supporting 24/7 platform operations.
The workplace honors add to a stretch of sustained momentum. PowerPay was named 2026 LendTech of the Year at the US Fintech Awards and a finalist for Best LendTech Solution at the Banking Tech Awards USA. In October 2025, the company closed a $500 million-plus asset-backed securitization, one of the five largest home improvement deals ever to enter the market. Petrakis was also selected as a 2025 Philadelphia Business Journal Most Admired CEO and a 2026 National EY Entrepreneur Of The Year finalist.
