Finance Business Partner

ABOUT US

Created by a team of proven FinTech entrepreneurs in 2016, Vitesse PSP is an FCA regulated payments business that provides global payment services to a range of businesses. Vitesse operates one of the largest domestic banking and payment networks in the world, giving its customers direct access to more than 100 countries’ domestic payment networks, covering over 60 currencies. Through a single integration, merchants gain access to in-country payment routing, resulting in significantly lower payment costs and much faster delivery. To date, the company has processed over £3bn across more than 3 million transactions.

Vitesse is increasingly focussed on serving customers in the insurance market, provider insurers with improved liquidity management and faster claims settlement.

Of these segments, Insurance is the largest in revenue terms and also the fastest growing largely as a result of success in the Lloyds of London market, where Vitesse has established itself as the market leader.

ABOUT THE TEAM

We have changed the face of local collections with Envoy Services (acquired by Worldpay in 2011) and we have a clear vision to reshape the payouts, based on decades of industry experience.

Led by a proven executive team, we currently employ over 60 people and have offices in London and Rotterdam.

Our Finance Team plays an important role in the strategic development of the Group. This is a new role that has arisen due to the continued growth and increased complexity of the business.
