We are thrilled to share that Santander Bank is strategically investing £350 million in Ebury! An investment of this scale is a unique deal that will accelerate our huge growth ambitions to become a global leader in Finance. The capital will allow us to enrich our existing product offering, invest in new ways to serve SMEs trading internationally and continue to grow our business internationally. Ebury will continue to operate independently as an agile and entrepreneurial fintech, but also benefit of being counterparty to one of the world's largest financial institutions.

Learning and development is very important to us at Ebury. As our sales and dealing teams progress through their careers and reach the next promotion, they are invited to attend a global Bootcamp where they can network with their colleagues from different offices and learn new skills from our most senior staff members. This year, we've completed 3 Bootcamps so far - each time, the attendees had a very productive and positive two days with lost of workshops, quizzes and role-plays, activities and plenty of opportunity for networking amongst the group!
At Ebury, we are proud to be a diverse and inclusive organisation and we continue to do a lot to encourage more women to join us in Finance. This Summer, the UK office were pleased to launch a Girl's Summer Internship programme where we had 3 ambitious students join us for 2 weeks. They had the opportunity to learn from many of our front-office and back-office teams, meet some of our senior Leadership team and be part of daily tasks to get a feel for the working world! Here's a quote from one of our girls... "I greatly enjoyed my time spent at Ebury. The people were extremely welcoming and friendly, and I felt very included in the company while learning about the various hard-working teams such as data, marketing, and sales. I learnt a lot during these two weeks and the experience was very valuable, giving me an insight into the work of a fin-tech. A huge thank you to all the team involved in making my experience here so wonderful through sharing their knowledge and passion." We are really looking forward to meeting the second round of interns this August!
This Summer, we launched the Ebury Oscars where our 800+ employees could nominate their colleagues in 9 fun categories. These included "The Master Chef Award" for the person who brings in the best home-cooked food, "The Fitness Award" for the person who goes to the gym at 6am and makes the rest of us feel bad, "The Caffeine Addict Award" for the person who drinks the most coffee in a day and "The Devil Wears Prada Award" for the person who comes to work looking nothing less than runway ready! Massive Congratulations to our winners from across the globe!
All our front-office new joiners participate in a 2 week Global Induction, where they have the opportunity to learn from key speakers across the globe, participate in learning activities and spend time shadowing their colleagues.

This is just the first stage in their Ebury journey, and we are looking forward to seeing them develop in their roles and participate in Ebury's ongoing Career Development Programme.
Every month, we organise an exciting employee initiative for our 800+ employees.

Being included in the Tech Track 100 is a reflection of our dedication to constantly innovate and create technology solutions that are truly fintech, whilst supporting our customers’ growth wherever they decide to do business.

Previously only available to traditional banking institutions, we will now give our customers access to: payments credited within 30 minutes - many within seconds - total transparency of fees, and end-to-end payments tracking. We work continually to make sure our clients are receiving the most cutting-edge technology and newest innovations to simplify international trade and aid growth.
This week was a first for the Swiss team in their new office in Zurich, located in the heart of the financial centre. The team is looking forward to showing off their digs to clients and prospects, and making the most of having more than one meeting room!
