FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Digital payment processing service provider Segpay announced today that the company has expanded its Ireland office and doubled its number of staff members for the EU/EEA headquarters.
Located in Ballsbridge, the Dublin, EU/EEA headquarters was established in September 2020 and covers all Segpay payment and merchant services in the EU/EEA. Segpay still maintains licenses in the UK for UK-based merchants.
“The EU market continues to grow, and we are excited to expand our staff to provide our EU customers with the best possible experience,” said Segpay CEO Cathy Beardsley. “We now have the team in place to guide new and existing clients ‘All the Way to Paid’.”
Ailish Penston continues as the CEO of Ireland, while Billie Stevens has joined to lead the division’s compliance and risk initiatives. Terry Nichols has joined the team to lead the firm’s sales and business development plans.
Finance has expanded to include Claudine Clare and Maria Murphy who are “instrumental in the function,” the company said in its announcement. Paul Haugh, meanwhile, will “drive the compliance underwriting team” and Tony Langsford has been added to the team to “provide additional strength for the increased merchant business.”
“Segpay Ireland is growing, and additional staff members will join the company soon,” the company added in its statement.
In its announcement, Segpay explained that it selected Ireland as its EU headquarters in 2016 after the initial Brexit vote. As the transition process moved forward, Segpay “underwent the intense process of becoming a licensed payment institution ahead of the Brexit deadline, banking through the Central Bank of Ireland.”
The local Ireland office is home to both the EU staff and its EU board of directors, Segpay noted. The team “manages all Segpay EU/EEA merchants allowing them to process through several EU acquirers and Segpay as a payment facilitator.”
“Your customers deserve a quick and secure way to pay and with Segpay we offer a worry-free way to locally and globally accept payments to help grow your business,” Penston said. “I am proud to lead the team serving our European merchants with dedicated payment processing services and solutions.”
Established in 2005, offers a variety of solutions for businesses, including merchant services, payment processing, fraud protection, marketing tools and dedicated payment processing for EU merchants. Segpay covers 15 languages, multiple currencies and “all EU regulations to help businesses throughout Europe,” the company said.
