Wadiz (CEO: Shin Hye-sung) announced on June 20 that it had been named one of the “High Growth Companies in the Asia-Pacific Region in 2026” by the British business daily Financial Times (FT) and international research firm Statista. This is Wadiz’s fifth selection.
The “Asia Pacific High Growth Companies” ranking selects the 500 companies with the highest revenue growth rates from more than 10,000 companies in the Asia Pacific region, comprehensively reflecting their financial performance and expansion capacity.
Wadiz ranked 41st in the fintech industry, recording a total sales growth rate of 82.57% and an average annual growth rate of 22.22% during the evaluation period of 2021 to 2024.
The company has expanded into pre-orders, online stores and crowdsourced advertising, driving market entry and growth for creators and brands. To date, it has facilitated the launch of more than 90,000 projects and raised nearly 1.5 trillion won.
The expansion of the global market continues. Since the launch of the international service last May, the number of foreign users has increased; by January 2024, the number of monthly active users (MAUs) had increased approximately 2.5 times compared to the previous year, and the volume of international transactions more than eight times. Foreign users make up around 40% of the total user base.
Currently, payments are processed in more than 40 countries, including the United States, Japan and China, and on average more than 100 projects connect with overseas consumers every month. Use cases are increasing not only in consumer goods sectors such as K-Beauty, K-Fashion and related products, but also in the context of the establishment of international technology brands in the national market.
Wadiz recently established bases in Tokyo, Japan, and Shenzhen, China, and is strengthening its foundation of cooperation with foreign manufacturers through the expansion of local partnerships and briefings.
Shin Hye-seong, CEO of Wadiz, said the selection is a result of the challenges faced by the manufacturers and the company’s growth trajectory, and they will continue to develop their role as a platform facilitating entry into domestic and international markets.
Recently, expanding the global user base and promoting cross-border transactions have emerged as key growth strategies in the fintech and crowdfunding sectors.
