IOU FINANCIAL INC. (“IOU” or “the Company”), a leading online lender serving small businesses across the U.S. (IOUFinancial.com), is proud to announce its inclusion in American Banker’s list of the Best Places to Work in Fintech for 2025. This marks another milestone in IOU’s ongoing mission to foster a workplace culture rooted in integrity, transparency, and purpose.
“IOU’s culture thrives because we’re committed to doing the right thing — for our employees, our broker partners, and the merchants we serve,” said Robert Gloer, President and CEO of IOU Financial. “We’re honored to be recognized by American Banker once again, and this award is a reflection of the passion and dedication of our entire team.”
The award is determined through a rigorous two-part survey process managed by American Banker and Best Companies Group. The evaluation examines company policies, benefits, workplace philosophy, and employee demographics, with a significant portion of the ranking based on direct employee feedback. IOU Financial’s high marks reflect strong satisfaction with its comprehensive benefits, transparent leadership, and commitment to core values.

“We believe that creating a thriving culture isn’t just good for morale — it’s essential for long-term success,” Gloer added. “When people feel valued and empowered, they do their best work. And when that happens, everybody wins — our team, our partners, and the small businesses we support every day.”
