Sync Savings listed in the 2026 AIFinTech100 – recognised for AI-powered Payroll Savings infrastructure

London, 17 June 2026

Sync Savings, the UK's first dedicated Payroll Savings infrastructure platform, has been named in the 2026 AIFinTech100, an annual list published by FinTech Global identifying the world's most innovative companies applying AI within financial services.

Now in its sixth year, the AIFinTech100 assessed more than 2,000 companies before a panel of industry experts and analysts selected the final 100. This year's list reflects a broader shift across the sector from AI experimentation to operational deployment, with recognised companies now using AI to power everything from customer engagement and personalisation to fraud prevention, credit decisioning, and back-office automation.

Sync was selected for its application of machine learning and AI across both the operational and consumer layers of its platform. Machine learning powers Sync's recommendation engine, surfacing personalised financial guidance for savers based on their individual behaviour and interests, while the same ML layer detects payroll anomalies early - preventing errors before they cause downstream problems for payroll teams. A vetted AI assistant within Sync's Financial Wellness Hub provides savers with impartial guidance sourced from trusted UK financial institutions, reinforcing long-term savings habits rather than one-off engagement.

All AI capabilities are implemented within a regulated framework, ensuring that innovation does not come at the cost of compliance integrity, a standard that financial institutions and payroll providers require as a baseline for any infrastructure partner.

Joss Tasker, co-founder and CEO of Sync Savings, said:

"Being recognised in the AIFinTech100 reflects what we set out to build from day one: a platform where AI is embedded into the infrastructure, not bolted on. The shift from experimentation to deployment that this year's list describes is exactly where we are: machine learning is already working in production to personalise savings guidance, detect payroll errors, and help employees build genuinely better financial habits. This recognition is a signal that the market is ready for what Sync is building."

Sync's inclusion in the AIFinTech100 comes at a significant moment for the company. Sync is a founding member of the National Coalition for Workplace Savings, with distribution partnerships spanning employee benefits platforms, NHS trusts, and major payroll providers. The platform is live with employers across the UK, with international expansion into Europe and the United States planned for 2027.
