A RUNCORN company has been shortlisted for a prestigious national award in the Fintech industry.

Payment bureau First Capital Cashflow has been nominated as one of the five leading regulated organisations in the Emerging Payments Awards.

The nomination comes as the business enjoys record breaking financial success.

The business processed £8 billion worth of transactions for clients last year, the largest amount in its 15-year history. Their wide range of clients include the UK’s first challenger bank, public sector bodies and leading insurance and energy companies.

Managing director Conrad Broadbent said: “The business has gone from strength to strength in recent years, repeatedly breaking our own records and continually growing our client base.

“We constantly update our technology and always seek to be at the forefront of direct debit and direct credit development driving the industry forward to offer the best service possible to clients.

“It is great to see our contribution the Fintech industry recognised by our peers and we’re all looking forward to the awards in October.”

Other organisations shortlisted include Amazon Pay, Apple Pay, the Post Office and Mastercard.

The company, which employs 20 people, doubled the size of their offices earlier this year after moving to a new site in Daresbury.
