The company
Ebury is among the fastest-growing global Fintech companies, having recently achieved Unicorn status. Founded by Salvador Garcia Andres and Juan Lobato in 2009, their goal was to help businesses prosper and grow in a highly competitive environment by eliminating boundaries and making international finance simple and universally accessible. Today Ebury offers the world’s largest non-bank platform, empowering small and medium-sized businesses to trade and transact internationally by offering cutting edge technology, financial expertise, a tailored and unique product range and exceptional customer service. We now have a diverse and talented workforce of over 900 employees of 50+ nationalities, working across 26 offices spanning 4 continents, and serving 40,000+ clients. We have no plans to slow down: this year alone, we completed our first acquisition and received a £350MN strategic investment from Santander Bank. An investment of this scale will significantly accelerate our next phase of international growth through both geographical-reach and product-offerings.
