Prepaid Financial Services choose to #MakeItMeath

Financial services firm bring Navan jobs total to 80

Alternative banking provider and financial technology specialist Prepaid Financial Services (PFS) are growing fast. They’ve just announced that they’re adding 30 jobs to the 52 strong workforce they already have in Navan in Meath. The company founder and CEO, Noel Morain, says he hopes to see Navan develop into a FinTech hub for up-and-coming companies that will one day rival Dublin. The #MakeItMeath team is here to help him achieve that great ambition.

Get jobs, get reward

The company, trading as eCOMM, was introduced to Ireland through ConnectIreland, the organisation that rewards people for introducing expanding overseas companies to Ireland. Joanna Murphy, CEO of @ConnectIreland said “Ireland’s success as a financial technology hub extends far outside the urban centre of Dublin. It is great to see such a vibrant company choosing Navan and we wish Noel and the team continued success.”

Explosive

According to Noel Moran the last 12 months has seen explosive growth for PFS with 60% growth from 2015 and projected EBIT for 2016 of £6.5 million. The company has been incredibly successful across the EU and now has its sights set on global expansion.  Noel, originally from Navan, chose to establish eCOMM in his hometown because of the ease of access to talent, as well as the huge potential to further expand an innovative Fintech centre in the area. At #MakeItMeath we like to point out that because of Meath’s proximity to Dublin Airport you can travel from Navan to London in just a couple of hours and you can be in Silicon Valley, California, in less that fourteen hours.
