Moneycorp,
an internationally recognized cross-border payments business, has announced its
record-breaking full-year 2022 results and Q1 2023 trading update. Marking a
milestone year, the company has seen significant growth across all of its business
segments, which was primarily fueled by the expansion and scalability of its payment
platform.

In 2022,
Moneycorp transacted over £70 billion of cross-border flow on behalf of its
clients, underlining the company’s strong presence in the global market.

The company
saw its trading volumes grow 91% to £73.3 billion in 2022, which is a testament to
its strong performance across all segments. This growth was accompanied by an increase of 58% in revenue to £220.1 million, with a notable boost from ‘Payments
– Financial Institutions’ sector. Additionally, the EBITDA rose 85%, bringing the
Group’s EBITDA margin to 32%.

“Our
robust performance and the efficiency of our proprietary technology have put us
at an advantage in the rapidly expanding global market,” Mark Horgan, the
Chief Executive at Moneycorp, commented.

Moneycorp’s
Q1 2023 results also showed continued growth, with an increase of 75% in trading
volumes to £20.0 billion and growth of 22% in revenue. The EBITDA growth for the
quarter was consistent with the full-year results from 2022, maintaining the
32% EBITDA margin.

On top of that, investments
made by the company have resulted in operational improvements. The company
launched ‘Soteria’, a new in-house system, in June 2022. This system allows real-time
monitoring of all transactions passing through Moneycorp’s platform, enhancing
its compliance process – a key differentiator for the company.

Despite
uncertain economic conditions, the company remains optimistic for the year
ahead. “Moneycorp’s
strong and resilient business model and extensive regulatory credentials,
underpinned by over 40 years experience in the international currency and
payments market, continues to be a differentiator for our clients,” the company
stated in the outlook for 2023.
