FF&P’s Creditcall unveils rebranding

Payment gateway provider Creditcall has unveiled a refreshed brand identity and redesigned website. Creditcall completed a management buyout in 2012 with the backing of FF&P Private Equity, the private equity business of Fleming Family & Partners, and Bestport Ventures.

PRESS RELEASE

Payment gateway provider and EMV migration expert Creditcall is unveiling its refreshed brand identity, supported by a completely redesigned website today. The updated branding was driven by the reliable service Creditcall provides to its customers and how simple its solutions are to implement. Its new tagline, ‘The Heart of Payments’ clearly articulates the vital role Creditcall plays at the core of payment acceptance, with innovation that ensures business happens all day, every day without fail.

In 2012 Creditcall completed a management buy-out with the backing of FF&P Private Equity, the private equity business of Fleming Family & Partners, and Bestport Ventures. The change in ownership came after years of growth in the attended, unattended, online and mobile payment spaces. Its award-winning gateway and EMV solutions are at the very core of its clients’ businesses, ensuring payments flow and expanding its reach to new territories and market segments.

In just the two years since FF&P (in conjunction with Bestport) has been working with Creditcall, the company has seen revenue increases of 55 percent, underpinned by continued investment in training and employee growth of 90 percent. As a direct result of the continued employee growth, Creditcall just completed an office move in the U.K. (from 3,500 sq. ft. to 8,000 sq. ft.)

Peter Turner, CEO at Creditcall, said: “Creditcall is demonstrating what it means to innovate by building new products and services that solve the most common pain points of our customers. With over 168 million people a year using Creditcall products, we place great emphasis on security and reliability. Our growth in the last few years has been impressive and highlights how important it is to lead change and provide a winning customer experience. Our brand refresh reflects the value we bring to the heart of our customer’s businesses.”

Dan Walker, an Investment Director of Private Equity at FF&P Private Equity, said: “FF&P has a focus on the fintech space and it is exciting for us to help grow a business that has already repeatedly shown its ability to innovate and lead in the payments industry. Creditcall generates recurring revenues from a global customer base, but differentiates itself by its leadership positions in a number of niche payments sectors, each of which is growing and being disrupted by new technology which Creditcall is enabling.”
