Card Commerce buying a sofa!

Other important investments to follow…

Yes, it’s true, we are buying a sofa, and how is that news you might ask! Well it is as much a symbolic event as anything else. For five years we have had the heads down, working frantically to make our mark in a busy space, win business and deliver on customer expectations. And now we are at the end of our initial five-year plan. And we think we have done a pretty good job. We have excellent partners. We have grown on average 30% year-on-year since our incorporation and we are on target for 70% growth this year.  We are profitable. We have an experienced and hard-working team that are good fun to be around. But the office has suffered. It is busy, it is full and finding a chair, let alone a comfortable one, can be difficult! 

Recently we took a timeout to plan the next five years. And it is going to be even better. Prepaid is getting bigger every year. We have exciting new products, more cost effective business models and exacting plans to establish a firm foothold across Europe. And we are pushing beyond prepaid to providing a basic customer / bank account capability. So we have taken a little more office space, are hiring some new people and going on the road to introduce ourselves and our capability. And if you like what you hear we hope you will visit to hear a little bit more. And in between visiting our T3 data-centres, designing your particular product instance with our developers or understanding how you can best utilise our BACS Approved Bureau capability, you can enjoy a coffee on our new sofa.
