Ebury opens new office in Dublin to meet growing demand from Irish businesses

e are delighted to announce the launch of a new office in Dublin, Ireland, in response to growing demand for Ebury’s services in Ireland’s dynamic and evolving market.
The Irish team will focus on serving SMEs, filling a significant gap in the market. Despite making up 99.8% of all enterprises in Ireland¹, SMEs in the country have long been underserved by traditional banks, often facing challenges such as limited access to FX risk management facilities and a distinct lack of choice when choosing a provider to support international business operations.

Ebury’s expansion into Ireland will help to address these issues by providing tailored and innovative payments, collections, risk management and unsecured financing solutions to support the needs of these valuable businesses.

The office will also support the continued growth of Ebury Institutional Solutions – a dedicated proposition for the alternative investment management sector allowing managers to deploy capital globally so they can execute their investment strategies quickly and efficiently. Ireland is the domicile for 6% of world-wide investment fund assets, making it the 3rd largest global centre.

Ebury offers a range of international trade services across international payments and collections, FX risk management and strategies in over 130 currencies for major and emerging markets, cash management strategies and business lending.

Ten employees will initially work from the Dublin office with the expectation that this number will grow rapidly to meet strengthening client demand for Ebury’s services. Ebury has seen significant international growth and over 1,700 employees now operate from more than 40 offices in 25 countries.

Phil Monkhouse, UK & Ireland Country Manager at Ebury, commented: “Ireland is integral to many trading networks, especially given its strong trade links between the UK, EU and the US, and we are delighted to reinforce our capabilities here with a stronger local presence.

“Our growing strategic focus on serving SMEs in Ireland will ensure that we fill the existing service gaps in the market, offering them the tools they need to thrive internationally.

“Global expansion is critical to our strategic growth as we seek to combine cutting edge technology with boots-on-the-ground expertise in local territories to simplify international trade for businesses of all shapes and sizes. Our dedicated proposition for the alternative investment management sector will also play a key role in supporting this sector in Ireland which is a global epicentre for domiciling fund assets.

“I look forward to the new opportunities this office will bring in terms of enhancing our tailored services, furthering our clients’ success and attracting new talent in the dynamic Irish market.”
