We are excited to announce that Ebury has officially opened a new office in Auckland, New Zealand! This strategic expansion reflects our commitment to supporting the growth of Kiwi SMEs engaged in international trade and delivering innovative and accessible solutions that go beyond what traditional providers offer in the region.
The opening of our Auckland office marks our 40th office worldwide, and we are proud to have over 1,700 dedicated employees across 25 countries. This milestone follows our expansion into Australia six years ago, where we continue to thrive with offices in Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth.
Our new presence in New Zealand is strategically important, particularly given our established offices in Shanghai and Shenzhen in China, as well as throughout Australia—key locations for New Zealand’s international trade.
Rick Roache, our Managing Director for APAC, will oversee our operations in New Zealand, supported by a locally-based sales and account management team led by Doug Warren.
“At Ebury, we embrace the complexity and risk associated with daily cross-border payments that foster business growth in ways traditional banks simply cannot,” says Rick. “We aim to make sophisticated products and services—typically reserved for larger clients—accessible to SMEs.”
“Right now, there are few options for SMEs looking for cross-border payment solutions, and localguidance in New Zealand, so we’re really excited to bring our innovative technology platform into themarket supported by a ‘boots on the ground’ team that differentiates us from other providers.”
Rick further highlights, “There is a significant disconnect between SMEs’ expectations for how international payments should work—regarding speed, certainty, and cost—and the reality of these processes. As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, it’s crucial to simplify cross-border transactions for the success of any global business.”
We look forward to making a positive impact in New Zealand and are excited about the opportunities ahead for our Kiwi clients! Stay tuned for more updates from Ebury as we continue to grow and innovate in this vibrant market.
