A great re-read of the founding of WorldPay.. Nick, a former policeman, founded Worldpay in 1997, a year before PayPal was founded, when he noticed that customers of his online retail website wanted multi-currency quotes on goods. Launched on a self-described homebrew website in 7 hours using his bank overdraft facility to finance the play, Nick and the team launched Worldpay.
Nick Ogden is the real deal. A serial pioneer, he is now on his third big play with a track record of building insanely great FinTech products that do jobs that customers and society need, while creating massive value for those involved in the journey. I sat down this week to talk to Nick to get insights into why he started Worldpay more than 20 years ago, his journey as a serial entrepreneur, what we can expect from the future of ClearBank, and his one piece of advice to budding entrepreneurs.
