Controlled growth and ambitious objectives
While fintech companies often struggle to achieve a viable business model, CentralPay has demonstrated proven profitability and sustained growth for several years, without relying on external investors. Its revenue has tripled since 2022, while its operating profit was close to €500,000 in 2024, confirming the strength of its positioning.
This momentum is driven by massive adoption of the platform and its new, innovative Core Banking infrastructure, designed to simplify business payments and free them from banking rigidities. Advanced automation of financial flows and integration with existing tools allows them to significantly gain competitiveness, regardless of the payment process (e-commerce, marketplace, invoice payment, debt collection, subscription, etc.).
“Our ambition is not only to grow, but to do so in a healthy and controlled manner. By achieving profitability and consolidating our market position, we are giving ourselves the means to invest for the long term and accelerate our clients’ growth,” explains Guillaume Ponsard, founder and CEO of CentralPay.
By 2027, CentralPay aims to process €2.5 billion in payments and achieve a turnover of €14 million.
Commitment at the heart of CentralPay’s strategy
Comprising 50 employees, the company leverages its collective expertise to anticipate its clients’ needs and offer tailored, high-performance solutions. In 2025, a recruitment campaign will be launched to strengthen all teams (development, customer support, and sales).
Already experiencing strong growth, CentralPay has created 40 jobs in five years and plans to double its workforce by 2030 to support its ambitions.
