Ebury has grown its revenues over 30% per annum since Santander invested in 2020. In April 2026, Santander participated in a £550 million funding round alongside Centerbridge Partners and reinvesting existing shareholders Vitruvian Partners and 83North, with Santander increasing its stake to 55%. The company is positioning itself as the leading cross-border payments platform for SMEs with a focus on AI-driven automation.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Ebury demonstrates strong market traction with 27,000+ customers and consistent 30%+ revenue growth. The April 2026 £550M funding round from a premium investor syndicate signals strong confidence, though private status and previously delayed IPO plans create some execution risk. Competitive intensity in fintech payments is high.
