70 new jobs to be created at Cheadle fintech

Cheadle fintech firm, Conferma Pay, has announced plans to recruit for 70 new jobs in 2023 as part of ambitious growth plans.

The roles are predominantly hybrid positions at the Cheadle head office in addition to a small number at offices overseas and follow the company’s recent acquisition by travel technology company Sabre Corporation and investment from Mastercard.

The latest hires will help Conferma Pay speed up its plans to build a virtual card solution for business banking customers when travelling overseas, simplifying corporate travel and reducing the need for employees to claim back travel costs as expenses.

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, Managing Director at Conferma Pay, commented:

“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.”

The majority of the new roles are hybrid working positions based at the company’s Cheadle office, however three of the positions being listed in the current hiring round are in the US, where Conferma Pay also has its sights on growth in 2023.
