Change Financial recognised in the 2026 AFR Fast 100 

Recognition reflects consistently strong revenue growth for the ASX-listed payments technology company. 

Brisbane, Australia | 10 November 2026 – Change Financial (ASX: CCA) has been named in the Australian Financial Review’s 2026 Fast 100, recognising the company’s growth over the past three financial years. 

The annual ranking from Australian Financial Review celebrates Australia’s fastest-growing established businesses, based on compound annual growth rate (CAGR). This recognition reflects Change Financial’s successful journey of helping banks and fintechs build, manage and test payment solutions. 

Change Financial has recorded a three-year revenue CAGR of 31% to FY26, with growth in its processing and issuing business a key driver. 

Today, the company’s technology supports more than 150 banks and fintechs across over 40 countries, through two proprietary technology offerings: its card issuing and processing platform, and payment testing solution. 

But behind those figures is a longer story of investment, decisions and relationships built over time. 

Tony Sheehan, CEO of Change Financial, said the recognition was an opportunity to reflect on the company’s progress and the people who have made it possible. 

We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved over the past 3 years. This recognition reflects the dedication of our team and the trust our valued clients place in us.  

Looking ahead, Change Financial remains focused on enhancing its two technology platforms, deepening customer relationships and supporting the evolving needs of banks and fintechs. 

For Sheehan, the recognition is as much about the road ahead as the progress made so far. 

Our growth has given us greater capacity to invest in our technology, deepen our expertise and respond to increasingly sophisticated requirements of our customers. The foundation of our growth remains the same: specialist payments expertise, a strong understanding of our customers’ business, and relationships built on delivering what we commit to.  

As Change Financial continues to evolve, those strengths will remain central to how we continue to innovate, grow and support our customers to achieve their own ambitions.  

Tom Russell, Executive Director of Change Financial, said the acknowledgement demonstrates the increasing maturity and scalability of the business.  

In FY26, we delivered revenue of $26.8million and underlying EBITDA of $5.1million, a seventeen-fold increase on the prior year, while achieving our first year of profitability, demonstrating the operating leverage in our business as we continue to scale. We have also continued to grow our processing and issuing business, with more than 170,000 active cards and $1 billion in transaction value processed over the last 12 months. 

Importantly, we recognise that revenue growth is one part of delivering shareholder value. While we are pleased to be among Australia’s fastest-growing companies, we believe there is an opportunity for the market to better recognise the value we are building. Our focus is on translating that growth into sustainable profitability and positive cash flow, while continuing to strengthen our competitive position in the global payments market.
