The agentic AI platform for credit unions and community banks marks fifth consecutive year on the list
Five consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 says something about staying power. We built our Agentic AI platform because our customers asked for it.”— Ashish Garg, Co-founder and CEO, EltropySANTA CLARA, CA, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Eltropy, the premier agentic AI platform serving credit unions and community banks, has announced its inclusion in the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the yearly recognition of the United States’ fastest-growing privately held companies. This achievement marks the fifth year in a row that Eltropy has appeared on the roster, underscoring steady expansion among its clientele of credit unions and community banks. The Inc. 5000 provides a data-backed snapshot of the most accomplished businesses within the economy’s most vibrant sector: its independent, entrepreneurial ventures.
“Five consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 says something about staying power,” said Ashish Garg, Co-founder and CEO of Eltropy. “Credit unions and community banks don't switch platforms on a whim, so growth like this only happens when the product keeps earning their trust year after year. We launched our agentic AI platform this year because our customers asked for it, and that's the same instinct that's driven every decision since we started the company.”
This year’s Inc. 5000 cohort spans AI, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, with honorees broadening their reach and creating jobs throughout the U.S. economy. Across the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate stood at 130 percent, and these businesses collectively added more than 627,208 positions over the past three years.
The recognition comes after a phase of growth for Eltropy, which now supports over 750 credit unions and community banks nationwide, up from 650 at the start of 2025. In March 2026, the company unveiled the first governed environment for credit unions and community banks to create, deploy, and oversee AI agents across member communication channels. Eltropy also held its annual EMERGE user conference in April, attracting hundreds of CFI leaders, and earlier this year was once again named to the Inc. Regionals: Pacific list for the third consecutive year.

"Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still," says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance. It reflects the creativity, resilience, and customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all of this year's honorees."
Inc. will honor the recipients at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, scheduled for October 14–16 in Dallas, Texas, and the top 500 will be featured in the Fall edition of Inc. magazine.
Inc. 5000 List Methodology
Companies on the 2026 Inc. 5000 are ranked based on percentage revenue growth from 2022 to 2025. To qualify, businesses must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2022. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent — not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies — as of December 31, 2025.
