Paris, May 3, 2024 – iBanFirst, the new reference in international payments, announces that the company is on track with its goal of 70 million euros in revenue for 2024 and aims for 100 million for 2025. With positive EBITDA since late 2023, iBanFirst is open to new targeted acquisitions in Europe.

With a volume of nearly 2 billion euros in payments processed each month, iBanFirst is stepping up its game to establish itself as the new standard for international payments for SMEs and mid-cap companies. iBanFirst announces that it has been EBITDA positive since late 2023 and confirms its ability to combine hyper-growth and profitability.

 

iBanFirst now aims to strengthen its position in the 10 European countries where it is present, with the goal of achieving a revenue of 100 million euros in 2025. It particularly relies on its ongoing investment in technology to offer a high-value payment experience: real-time access to the trading floor, deployment of nominative accounts, local accounts, enhanced payment experience through AI...

 

In the coming years, iBanFirst will also benefit from the economic context. As margin pressure intensifies and businesses are hit hard by geopolitical instability affecting the foreign exchange market, iBanFirst represents a lever for financial and operational performance.

 

For Pierre-Antoine Dusoulier, CEO of iBanFirst: "By offering an ultra-simplified digital experience and the support of top experts in foreign exchange markets, iBanFirst has quickly established itself in the international payments market. Now profitable, we have everything to become the new standard in the eyes of business leaders and financial departments.
