Precium

When building a payments business, you quickly realise that how you win is just as important as winning itself. At Precium, we handle the most critical part of a business: our merchants' money. This comes with immense responsibility. Demonstrating expertise, working with integrity, and maintaining transparency aren’t just ideals—they are non-negotiable. Our values and principles guide us daily, shaping how we show up for our merchants and each other. Whether it's applying rigorous discipline or bold curiosity, the Precium Core fuels our collaboration and innovation. It pushes us to build a winning business and one we can be proud of. At last week's year-end gathering, we celebrated teammates who best embodied these values. In two categories, there were no clear winners. Every single person in the business received a vote. This is the perfect outcome, showing that we all strive to embody our values daily. Congratulations to the winners of the other categories. Thank you for demonstrating the best of who we are. You inspire us to keep building better together. Here’s to a future defined by both how we win and the legacy we leave behind.

On Friday, we did our first company-wide Customer Immersion at Precium. The goal was to enrich customer empathy and understanding across our teams, especially those who have less day-to-day interaction with our clients. Our team was given a fictional company and case study, modelled after one of our target segments. In groups, they had to come up with a strategy and operating plan as the client and present back to the Board (our leadership team). If that wasn't tough enough, we threw them a curveball 10 minutes before presenting – a pandemic, regulatory change, and economic downturn among them. The results were exceptional. Being forced to step into our customers' shoes gave the team a renewed perspective on how we can better serve our clients – not just as a payment partner, but as a strategic enabler of their growth. It also helped them to really feel some of the key insights that underpin our strategy as a brand: 1️⃣ Being a merchant is incredibly complex. Payments, while critical, represent just one piece of their much larger puzzle. 2️⃣ Speed and enablement are everything. If we’re not actively empowering our clients and moving faster than they are, we risk becoming a bottleneck rather than a catalyst. 3️⃣ Adaptability is essential. Building solutions that enable pivots in the face of change is as important for us as it is for our clients. A huge thank you to our team, who brought their A-game, and to Tish Haridass for her super-star facilitation. This is just the beginning of many more initiatives to bring us closer to our customers’ worlds.

Choosing a payment provider goes beyond payment performance optimisation. You’re choosing a long-term partner in growth. Here’s what you can expect from a partnership with us.

In the lead up to our rebrand, I was forced to grapple – more than usual – with what makes Precium different. Payments is a competitive industry and feature differentiation is often a temporary advantage. I spent time with the clients who have been our biggest advocates to understand how they saw us. While many commented on our modern technology, quantifiable value delivery, and quality of our team, the sentiment that consistently came through was, "You just get it. You understand our world and it feels like a genuine partnership." Often, the brands that win in crowded markets are the ones that see things differently. They don't just sell on features or pricing, but inspire a change in mindset with their beliefs about the future. Our conviction about the potential of payments to be a strategic asset to enable businesses' boldest ambitions shapes how we build, how we hire, and how we act every single day. We believe businesses deserve more from their payment systems and that through targeted technology and data, we have the power to transform payments from a cost centre to a revenue enabler. This starts with offering customers their most relevant payment methods, embedded in intuitive payment journeys that optimise conversion, success rates, and repeat purchases. Because at the end of the day, it’s not the payment that matters – it’s what it enables.

Smart routing helps businesses have greater control over payment flows while increasing success rates, optimising processing costs, and offering a seamless customer experience. If you are in one of the following scenarios, smart routing could be the right next step to enhance your payment performance. ✅ You currently integrate with multiple payment processors and want to optimise payment flows between them ✅ Your conversion is impacted by 3DS downtime and you want an automated failover in place ✅ You want to find the most cost-effective route for transactions of varying sizes ✅ You want to optimise payment methods to offer only the most relevant at checkout Learn more in our smart routing guide: https://lnkd.in/d-ARwHtG #SmartRouting #PaymentRouting #IntelligentRouting #PaymentOrchestration
