- 500k customers, amid a £700 Billion addressable market
- Experienced team with record in growth companies
As shared by the company:
“With an [established] record of profitable growth & pioneering innovation, Caxton is the original fintech with a difference. In 2002 we were disrupting the FX market, challenging the rip-off high-street banks. 20 years on and underpinned by an experienced team, we stand tall as an FCA-regulated payments firm. Our agile systems are fit for the future where clients simplify & automate all their payments – on one platform.”
The company added:
“500k+ clients trust us to deliver their money. In FY ’19 we made £14m revenue and £3m EBITDA (FY ’21 Rev: £8.4m, EBITDA: £1.3m). With our proven formula for growth we can take advantage of the shift in the cashless payments sector that PwC predicts will grow 192% this decade. We address a £700bn SME trade market within a total UK payments market of £83 trillion.”
The firm also mentioned that their scalable platform “works for every payment a B2B client makes – expense management cards, UK supplier payments, payroll, or international.”
B2C clients “make international payments and sort their travel money via a single multi-currency account that pairs with a debit card,” the firm noted while adding that they are now “accelerating the growth – our bulk payments revenue has climbed 118% this year.”
They further noted:
“With your funds we will make more key hires & expand our marketing drive. We believe with our proven platform, strong brand & great team it will enable us to capitalize on the market opportunity.”
