London-based FinTech GoCardless is set to open a new office in Leeds, strengthening its UK footprint as it works towards profitability within the next 12 months.

The company, which processes direct bank payments for businesses of all sizes, will establish the new hub later this year in the city centre.

Around 50 roles across sales, partnerships, corporate services and operations are planned for the first 12 months, with headcount expected to grow rapidly in the coming years, replicating the expansion model of its existing bases in London and Riga.

The move has been applauded by Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, and Mayor of West Yorkshire Combined Authority, Tracy Brabin.
