Our story

Founded in the UK in 2005 as a payments consultancy offering expert advice and payments solutions, Afferent Software has evolved into a global payments software solutions company with offices in Europe, South Africa, and North America.

 

Who we are

We are a dynamic team that is responsible for the set up, support, management and technical development of a global ATM estate running across 15 countries.

Our expertise in Dynamic Currency Conversion led us to create a cloud-native platform for optimizing revenue from DCC across over 8,000 ATMs and 1,500 retail desks globally.

Our automated ATM testing solution allows our customers to focus on their business rather than spending vast amounts of time in ATM labs.

We thrive on working closely with our customers to make their lives easier.

Modern digital systems aren’t as easy and intuitive as they should be, so we work closely with our clients to develop integrated solutions that solve the many challenges of building, testing, and running payment software systems. Our products team specialises in creating tools that make payments systems simpler, more efficient, and more intelligent; our services team focuses on building long-lasting partnerships with our clients through solutions that directly improve business outcomes.

In 2023, we launched our Payavon brand to specialise in simplifying financial transactions and increasing profitability for companies via SaaS solutions that can be rapidly integrated and deployed.

COO and acting CFO

I’ve been in Payments my whole career, starting out as a Software Developer, and worked in many awesome and interesting roles but none so challenging and wide-open to make as my own as what I do here. I like to think that the awesomeness I bring to Afferent is perspective, courage, attention to detail and nuance from all that I’ve seen and done in this interesting market that we operate within.
