Bizcap has been named among Australia’s Best Workplaces for Women 2026, with Great Place To Work recognising the non-bank lender’s efforts to build a performance-focused environment where women play a central role in driving growth and strategy.
As International Women’s Day nears, the recognition underscores how deliberate gender equity can accelerate inclusion and lift business performance across the organisation.
Great Place To Work, a global authority on workplace culture, selected 50 organisations for this year’s list, highlighting employers that prove “exceptional business performance and inclusive, equitable workplace culture go hand in hand.”
The Best Workplaces for Women list is based on confidential employee feedback, analysis of organisational culture and data from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA), with companies required to show measurable progress on gender equity rather than relying on policy statements alone.
For Bizcap, the recognition comes after rapid expansion across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the UK, Europe and Canada, and follows its inclusion on the Best Workplaces in Australia list in 2025.
Bizcap positions gender equity as part of its commercial strategy, with women holding leadership roles across revenue, operations and strategy.
“At Bizcap, we believe high performance and inclusive leadership are inseparable. This recognition is a testament to the intentional work we’ve done to create an environment where women are empowered to lead, innovate, and drive commercial outcomes,” said Rebecca del Rio, Bizcap’s deputy chief executive officer APAC and global chief revenue officer.
She added that greater representation is tied directly to business results.
“When women have equal access to leadership pathways, our business benefits. Diverse perspectives strengthen our strategy, improve risk calibration, challenge conventional thinking and ultimately enhance our ability to compete.”
Bizcap links its workplace results to how people experience opportunity, feedback, and recognition day to day.
“It tells us our people feel supported and confident in their ability to grow here,” Kirsty Nixon, Bizcap’s senior people and culture manager, said. “From the beginning, our founders and senior leadership team have been aligned on building a true meritocracy, where advancement is driven by performance, capability and impact.”
Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Zalman Blachman said leaders are expected to make that meritocracy tangible: “We hold our leaders to high standards in fostering that environment, ensuring opportunity is tangible, expectations are clear and performance is consistently recognised.”
Blachman noted that the people and culture team partners with leaders to embed these standards consistently across the organisation.
As a global non-bank lender providing fast, flexible working capital to SMEs, Bizcap says it mirrors the agility it offers customers within its own workforce. Key practices that support women’s progression include:
psychological safety and open dialogue as leadership expectations
defined progression routes and leadership development opportunities
flexible work settings that support both performance and wellbeing
transparent pay and advancement frameworks
targeted leadership development for women across commercial, operational, and executive teams
Rebecca Moulynox, general manager of Great Place To Work Australia and New Zealand, said the organisations on the list are treating gender equity as a strategic advantage.
“These companies aren’t just talking about gender equity, they’re proving it works,” Moulynox said. “They’ve created cultures where psychological safety, flexible work, and career development aren’t buzzwords, they’re business strategies delivering measurable results for employees and shareholders alike.”
As Bizcap continues to scale, the lender is positioning its talent and culture strategy as a competitive differentiator, aiming to show that long-term commercial performance and inclusive workplaces can be built in tandem.
