Queen鈥檚 Award-winning FinTech giant Quint Group has reported a record year of growth, with a 64 per cent increase in revenue to almost 拢32m by March 2017.
Turnover rose from 拢19.5m to 拢31.9m in 2016/17, along with an increase in underlying profits of over 250 per cent from 拢1.6m to 拢5.9m.
Growth has been driven by the launch of the company鈥檚 consumer credit comparison site, MoneyGuru.com in September last year.
It is now the fastest growing comparison site in the UK.
Employing over 100 members of staff, Quint has offices in the UK, the US, Poland and Australia, as well as technology hubs in China and South Africa.
CEO Greg Cox said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 been a fantastic year for Quint and we expect our turnover to exceed 拢50m in the current financial year and profits to approach 拢10m.
鈥淭he launch of MoneyGuru.com has added another facet to the Group and we鈥檝e been really pleased with the response to it. The site is not like other big players in the financial comparison space because it uses our own technology to directly integrate into lenders systems which allows us to give real time decisions to consumers.
鈥淥ur mission at Quint is for our services to become part of the market infrastructure in our core markets, in the same way credit bureaus are today.
鈥淎lthough we already operate in four territories, further global expansion is a key focus, alongside the continued development and optimisation of our products and services.
鈥淭his, we hope, will lead to Quint鈥檚 revenues exceeding 拢75m in 2019.鈥�
Quint operates four mutually beneficial and strategically aligned FinTech companies in the consumer credit sector.
Alongside MoneyGuru.com the company owns Monevo, the UK鈥檚 largest lending platform and market place, financial management services businesses such as Credit Angel and its data business, Monevo Data Services which develops and provides cutting edge credit, risk, marketing and analytical data.
Nick Jones at Cavendish, Quint鈥檚 corporate finance advisor, said: 鈥淨uint has managed to balance rapid growth with increasing investment in the platform and infrastructure opening up new areas of opportunity and keeping it at the forefront of the personal finance ecosystem.鈥�
Earlier this year Quint was awarded The Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation which is widely recognised as being the UK’s highest accolade for business success.
The annual awards recognise British firms that have excelled in exporting, social or environmental good work, or innovation.
All of Quint鈥檚 companies are powered by the Group’s market-leading proprietary technologies.
