Our history

From Payments to Full Insurance Stack.

Vitesse was established in 2014 to fix the opaque, costly and outdated payments process. The management team had previously changed the face of local collections with Envoy Services (acquired by Worldpay in 2011) and had a clear vision of what was needed based on a collective payments experience of over 100 years.Fast forward to 2022 – Leveraging the growing traction in both the Lloyd's marketplace and the wider company market, Vitesse specializes in insurance. We now provide carriers and claim administrators with integrated treasury and payment solutions, offering a single connection to a network of domestic clearing systems for fast and full‑value payouts to claimants. Additionally, we provide a real‑time view of global liquidity.Vitesse empowers clients to further digitise their claims operations and gain a significant competitive advantage over their peers.
