Omnisient, the privacy preserving data collaboration platform transforming how financial institutions use AI, has been recognised as one of CNBC’s World’s Top FinTech Companies 2026 in the Enterprise FinTech: Banking Solutions category.
The recognition highlights Omnisient’s leadership in enabling banks and businesses to collaborate on anonymised data securely, unlocking more accurate credit decisions, fraud detection, and customer acquisition opportunities without compromising consumer privacy. As financial institutions accelerate AI adoption, access to high quality data remains a critical challenge. Omnisient addresses this by using Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) that allow organisations to analyse combined datasets without sharing raw customer information. This enables institutions to generate deeper insights while maintaining complete control over their data.
The impact is already evident. In South Africa, collaborations between leading banks and retailers have helped make 38% of previously credit-invisible consumers visible, with 15% qualifying for credit based on shopping behaviour data. Predictive models developed using combined anonymised datasets have also proven 41% more accurate in assessing loan repayment risk where traditional credit histories are unavailable.
