iSend Named to Forbes Top 100 List of "America's Most Promising Companies"

MIDDLEBURY, Conn., Feb. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- iSend, a leading U.S. electronic payment service for people who support family members in other countries, announced today that it has been ranked by Forbes magazine as one of "America's Most Promising Companies." The third annual list, which recognizes the United States' top 100 high-growth, privately held companies, places iSend as #33.

In ranking the top 100 most promising companies, Forbes relied on New York-based data firm CB Insights to mine millions of online documents and extract such company-specific data as hiring, customer wins, partner signings, product sentiment and financing information. That information is automatically married with industry data to score each company. The Forbes team further evaluates the companies according to strength of management teams, quality of investors, past growth, product strength and market potential to produce a final list and rankings.

"iSend is extremely honored in being named to such an exceptional list of U.S. companies," said Steve LaBella, president and CEO of iSend. "Our employees, investors and partners have all pulled hard to help make iSend's international payments vision a successful undertaking, and such methodical evaluation is further evidence that we're heading in the right direction by the most meaningful definition."

The list of companies is in the current issue of Forbes magazine and online at www.forbes.com.
