So we decided to shake up the payments industry for good. From humble beginnings, we've become one of Europe's fastest-growing FinTech companies, winning numerous awards (including the Tech Track 100, National Business Awards, the Europe-wide Inc 5000 and Sunday Times Best Companies To Work For).

Our Northstar is to become the most trusted payments provider. We're putting our customers at the heart of payments, taking control of the end-to-end process and ironing out the industry’s kinks.
