Fintech firm recruiting for 70 new staff to keep pace with growth
A Cheadle fintech firm is recruiting 70 new staff as part of its expansion plans following its acquisition by global travel technology company Sabre Corporation last August.
Since the acquisition, Conferma Pay has received further investment from Mastercard to boost the use of virtual cards for business-to-business (B2B) travel payments.
The latest hires will help the firm speed up its plans to make virtual payments simpler and more accessible for businesses.
With its technology already integrated with more than 70 banks, the company is building a virtual card solution that improves the end-to-end corporate travel experience – removing the need for employees to spend their own money on business expenses, while increasing visibility and control over business payments more broadly.
Initially, 20 positions are being actively recruited for, with the ambition to fill a further 50 roles by the end of the year.
The initial roles are for positions across the business, including development and infrastructure, marketing, and project management positions.
Neil Fyfe, Conferma Pay managing director, said: “Bringing in new talent is essential to fulfilling our growth plans, and will help us strengthen our position as the world’s largest payments platform for virtual cards.
“As well as helping us to increase the number of virtual card transactions among existing customers, our new hires will enable us to significantly expand our customer base around the world and further develop the use of virtual cards for business payments.”
He added: “Manchester is fast becoming a major fintech hub, supported by first rate universities, so we know that we have the right talent on our doorstep to push us to the next level as a company. New recruits will become part of an entrepreneurial company that gives its staff the backing to explore new ideas.”
The majority of the new roles are hybrid working positions based at the company’s Cheadle office, however three of the positions being listed this week are in the US, where Conferma Pay also has its sights on growth in 2023.
