Company mission
To become the trusted payment rails for the professional services sector, and a company that people love to work for.
Our take
In today's fast-paced digital world, we are accustomed to handling most aspects of our lives with a tap or swipe, from personal transactions to corporate dealings. However, while speed is crucial, security remains paramount, especially with the rise of digital fraud. Consumers and businesses alike demand that their financial transactions be safeguarded from potential threats.
This growing need for both speed and security is where Shieldpay steps in. The platform quickly positioned itself as a leader in securing high-value digital transactions by offering businesses and individuals an efficient, cost-effective solution for creating instant digital escrow payments, all while ensuring robust protection.
Shieldpay meets these dual demands by providing a secure payments solution that verifies the identities of all parties involved. This ensures that funds are only transferred as intended, offering peace of mind to both everyday consumers and businesses, particularly in sectors like corporate and property transactions. With substantial backing and partnership with leading companies, Shieldpay's potential for growth and expansion is massive.

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
