Elavon

In a world where payments are often seen as the step before ‘goodbye’, Elavon helps businesses see things differently. Because behind every payment is a person. Every payment is an opportunity to connect with all kinds of people, in all sorts of places and on the latest technology platforms.

From food trucks at muddy summer festivals to multinational airlines serving Heathrow, Elavon powers secure payments. And not just in the United Kingdom – our deep expertise and experience mean we’ve earned the trust of over two million customers in 36 countries. We’ve been taking care of business for over 30 years. Whatever the industry, we know all about it – so we can deliver tailored, reliable solutions for any business, no matter what size or sector.

Elavon is the eighth-largest European merchant acquirer by processed volume in the markets where we operate. Our processing platform makes payments possible, anywhere and everywhere across the globe. It’s one of the most reliable platforms in the industry, too: with typically 99.999% uptime, our authorisation time for payments is just under half a second.

All of this means our customers in Ireland are covered for reliability, security, technology and speed. Plus, as a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Bank, Elavon is backed by the strength, scope and stability of the fifth-largest commercial bank in the United States.

But it’s Elavon employees who make all this happen. Our 4,000-strong European workforce powers business potential from our bases in Ireland, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Spain, Norway – and the UK. In 2007, our first UK facility opened in London. Since then, we’ve opened a second base in Newcastle, making the UK one of Elavon’s fintech hubs.

At Elavon, we support our employees – and help them give back to our local communities around London and Newcastle – through volunteering, mentoring, and focusing on workforce diversity, equity and inclusion. We focus on our people and how they can achieve their full potential within Elavon. We’re proud that our UK offices have been certified as a Great Place to Work™.

So, whether our customer is already a big name or whether they’re hanging their name over their first shop, each one is unique to us. Elavon is the only payments partner they’ll ever need.
