Our take
Shieldpay is quickly becoming one of the leaders in securing high-value transactions. Whether an individual or business, its services allow instant digital escrow payments to be created in a very fast, streamlined and cost-effective manner.
In little over a decade we’ve become accustomed to organising most of our lives with a tap or a swipe, and this attitude exists in individual consumers all the way up to multinational businesses. But whilst speed is a virtue when it comes to financial transactions, consumers are not willing to compromise on security. With digital fraudsters able to cash-in on unprotected digital users, the need for online financial transactions to be kept secure is more pressing than ever.
It is these dual demands - speed and security - which Shieldpay claims to be able to fulfil. Their secure payments solution verifies the identity of both sides of any transaction, ensuring that money only goes where the parties intended it to. As well as appealing to the everyday consumer, Shieldpay's enhanced security can make the entire business of corporate or property transactions much faster and more efficient than ever before. Its potential market, therefore, spans a considerable range of financial services and consumers.
Backed by considerable funding, and with its foundations already laid amongst leading companies such as law firm White & Case, the upwards potential for Shieldpay is massive.

When I joined, it was clear from the Senior Leadership team that we hire smart people who we trust. I'm able to manage myself but also have the support of my team around me when I'm faced with challenges. I've been able to lead so many projects, suggest new ideas, and focus on doing my best work.”

Joining a new company and being new to fintech/startups I was initially worried about how I'd perform but from day one I saw internal recognition and peer celebration. Over my first 6months, I had meaningful interactions with our CEO, senior leaders, and managers on my performance and how the little things I've been doing make a big difference
