Equals, a financial technology group focused on the SME marketplace, has recently published its financial results for the year ended 31 December 2021. For the mentioned period, Equals witnessed a substantial jump of 52% YoY in its revenue as the figure touched £44.1 million.

“We ended 2021 in a very strong position, both financially and operationally. The surge in our reported revenue and EBITDA speaks to a successful repositioning of our model to focus on B2B and away from legacy travel operations. This process began in 2020, put us on the front foot for 2021, and we are now progressing into 2022 with sustained confidence,” Ian Strafford-Taylor, the CEO of Equals Group PLC, commented on the financial results.

In the reported period, Equals Group witnessed a substantial jump in transaction values across FX, Banking and the Solutions platform.
