Fintech company to take up space in Cardiff city centre office building
Reviewing access control and security provisions is best achieved when moving to a new premises or office space. This is something that should be considered by companies such as Currencycloud, an expanding fintech firm that is moving to the newly-refurbished Hodge House office building in Cardiff city centre.
According to a news report in the local business media, the company, which provides a global payments platform servicing banks, financial institutions and fintechs, has taken a ten- year lease on a 6,586 sq ft office suite on the fifth floor of the building. It is moving from a number of serviced offices in Cardiff.
The move follows an announcement last month that AI imaging specialist, Intelligent Ultrasound, has leased 7,188 sq ft on the building’s sixth floor.
Owner Legal & General has refurbished and rebranded the building to modernise the 110,000 sq ft, eight-storey grade II listed building.
The detailed Portland stone façade with sash windows, originally inspired by the architecture of London’s Regent Street, has been cleaned, repaired and redecorated.
Anouska Streets, head of platform engineering at Currencycloud, said: “We’re excited to be moving into Hodge House and building our presence as part of the local Cardiff fintech community. Cardiff, and Wales, are cementing their place as a hub for nurturing great tech talent and enabling the fintech ecosystem. We look forward to expanding our team locally as we grow in the future.”
