Celebrating Great Place to Work 2026 & CCA Best Retail Finance Finalist!

At PayItMonthly, our mission has always been straightforward: to make flexible retail finance accessible, transparent, and fair. Empowering businesses to grow and supporting customers to manage their purchases with confidence.  

‍

Achieving that mission starts with our people and is proven by the experiences of our retail partners and shoppers. That is why we are thrilled to celebrate two major milestones back-to-back:

‍

  1. Great Place to Work® Certified for the second consecutive year.
  1. Finalist for Best Retail Finance Provider at the Smart Money People Consumer Credit Awards 2026.  

‍

These two honours go hand-in-hand: delivering an industry-leading service to retailers and shoppers is only possible when built on a supportive, high-trust workplace culture.

‍

Year Two as a Great Place to Work Certified™ Organisation

Earning accreditation as a Great Place to Work® once was an incredible achievement; being certified for the second consecutive year shows that our people-first ethos is part of our DNA.

‍

The Great Place to Work® benchmark is determined directly by employee feedback via the Trust Index™ survey. Over 96% of our team rate PayItMonthly as a great place to work, reflecting an environment where everyone has a voice, opportunities to develop, and a shared pride in what we build together.  

‍

Whether it’s investing in continuous career progression (earning recognition as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces for Development™), championing work-life balance, or bonding on our annual team outdoor adventures, we know that when our team thrives, our business and partners thrive too.  

‍

“Providing an outstanding environment for our team is the single most important foundation for delivering outstanding service to our merchants and their customers.” - Chris Pursey, PayItMonthly CEO

Finalist: Best Retail Finance Provider 2026

To top off our workplace celebration, being shortlisted as a Best Retail Finance Provider Finalist at the Consumer Credit Awards represents validation from the people who matter most: our retail partners and their customers.

‍

Hosted by Smart Money People, the Consumer Credit Awards are unique because finalists and winners are decided by genuine customer reviews and feedback instead of closed industry panels.  

‍

Being recognised in this category highlights:

A Sincere Thank You

Milestones like this are never achieved alone.

‍

‍

We are keeping our foot firmly on the pedal by refining our platform, expanding our integrations, and continuing to nurture a workplace where great people do their best work. Here’s to another fantastic year ahead!
