We are Vitesse – the treasury and payment partner of choice for insurance.
Formed in 2014 by a team of proven FinTech entrepreneurs, we are an FCA-regulated business providing global claim funds management and payment solutions. Operating one of the largest banking and payment settlement networks in the world, we give our customers direct access to 200 countries and currencies. Through a single integration, insurers can use this network to pay claims in as fast as 45 seconds and deliver a superior claimant experience. Our market-leading treasury proposition provides insurers with transparency and control over their claim funds, even when delegated to third-parties, allowing them to have their money in the right place, at the right time, to make that all-important payment when customers need it most.
With over 245 employees across our London headquarters, Europe, and the US, $93m Series C funding secured, our US license approved, and exceeding £10bn in processed transactions, we are only just getting started.
