London fintech lands government contract on digital payments framework

A London-based payments specialist has been appointed to a government payments framework.

Judopay, a fintech specialising in mobile-centric payments, has secured a place on the UK Government’s Crown Commercial Service’s (CCS) Payment Acceptance Framework.

Judopay aims to support all public sector entities improve their payments experience while reducing costs, to make everything from tax payments to donations to charities more adaptable both during and post-COVID.

Judopay’s CEO, Jeremy Nicholds, commented: “It is a real honour to be selected by Crown Commercial Service as the only British fintech in the framework and have that recognition for how our innovative payment solutions can help deliver a great customer experience at lower cost.”

“We were very impressed with CCS’s framework and its forward-looking perspective on the requirements around payment acceptance.

“We feel that as a leading digital and mobile-centric payment service provider, we are perfectly placed to assist in the framework and contribute to the public sector payment offering.”

Judopay’s Frederick Becker added: “Payments are fast becoming cashless – especially following the COVID-19 outbreak.

“Moving forward, with the CCS, we will help public entities adapt to this environment, with digital and mobile-centric solutions that drive innovation in the sector.”
