Creditcall's Impressive Growth Numbers PYMNTS.com

Listen up, payment provider community. Increased digitalization, continued pursuit of integration across channels, ever-increasing complexity, more partnerships and the integration of technologies like the Internet of Things, machine learning and artificial intelligence may be what's needed to propel the payment provider industry forward, at least according to Creditcall's CEO Lars Pedersen. "We must embrace these new technologies and the resulting complexity so we can provide solutions that merchants can readily deploy to increase revenues, reduce costs, and gain greater insight into customer preferences and business logistics," Pedersen said. As a company that was just named to the London Stock Exchange Group's 1,000 Companies to Inspire Britain, all while being 100 percent self-funded, payments provider Creditcall may just have that certain je ne sais quoi. "The main reason we have been able to grow in a self-funded way is that we have a rigorous process for deciding what activity to take on," Pedersen said.
