The strategy unites Cashflows' expert acquiring capabilities with Cardstream's market leading PFaaS infrastructure to dramatically simplify the launch and growth process for PayFacs, aspiring PayFacs, ISOs and ISVs in the market, by managing complex regulatory, compliance, and operational requirements on their behalf.
PFaaS is redefining how embedded payments are delivered, giving PayFacs the tools to deploy payment services rapidly and seamlessly, with Cardstream already achieving success in many markets. As Cashflows has identified similar demand in the UK and Europe for flexible, integrated payment experiences, deploying Cardstream's PFaaS provides an end-to-end managed service that includes onboarding, compliance, merchant activation, and transaction processing—allowing the opportunity to monetise a payment facilitator model from the outset.
"Our collaboration with a best-in-class partner like Cardstream, helps us to remove the complexities of embedded payments for platforms and PayFacs by providing a modular approach that removes technical barriers while empowering them with greater control over their payments," stated Hannah Fitzsimons, CEO of Cashflows. "By leveraging our in-house expertise, we're enabling them to evolve, thrive and concentrate on what truly matters: innovation and growth."
'As the embedded payments space continues to accelerate, we're seeing Acquirers, Schemes, Platforms, and Financial Institutions increasingly having to choose either build, buy, or partner,' said Adam Sharpe, CEO of Cardstream Group. 'Given the complexity, many are now turning to trusted, best-in-class partners with robust Fintech-as-a-services offering, such as those that Cardstream offers. This shift is driving significant growth in strategic collaborations across the industry.'
In a market where embedded finance is becoming a strategic priority, Cashflows and Cardstream's combined expertise stands out by providing speed, compliance assurance, and commercial flexibility, without the usual infrastructure or licensing burden. Together, it sets a new standard for embedded payments—giving ISVs, ISOs, Platforms and PayFacs in the UK and Europe, everything they need to scale confidently in a highly regulated environment.

Britain's most expensive pint revealed and it's NOT in London… where does your town rank?
A SMALL market town boasts the UK's priciest pints with pub-goers paying an average of £7. A beer in Witney in Oxfordshire — which used to have David Cameron as its MP — is now around 50p more expensive than in London. 1 Other places where it costs more than £6 for blowing the froth off a cold one include Brighton and Godalming in Surrey. The Pint Report, by Online Marketing Surgery, said: 'It's clear that prices in certain areas are well beyond the national average. "This suggests a noticeable divide in cost, depending on region, particularly in parts of London and the South East where higher living costs may be influencing prices." An Alliance Online spokeswoman said: 'The Welsh city of Wrexham is crowned the cheapest place in the UK for a beer. 'Famous for Wrexham AFC, headed up by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, their fans will be happy to know that they have access to bargain beer after a match.' Last month, Deadpool star Ryan, 48, unveiled a special 'bargain' beer to toast his club's promotion. A separate study found Wrexham is the cheapest for beer at £2 a pint, while the UK average now sits at £4.83. The cost of popular brands in the capital has also climbed, with a pint of Guinness reaching £6.45, Birra Moretti £7.17, and Camden Hells £7.05 since February. In contrast, the Midlands boasts the cheapest average pint in Great Britain, priced at £4.68. Tennent's lager is the most affordable option there at £3.50, followed by Carlsberg at £3.72. Meanwhile, Foster's and Greene King IPA are slightly pricier at £3.80 and £3.85, respectively. However, the survey revealed that pint prices in the Midlands increased by 5.15% between January and April, while London bucked the trend with a 1.22% decrease during the same period.

Investors to grill M&S chiefs over crippling cyber strike
Investors will grill Marks & Spencer bosses publicly for the first time since a major cyber attack that took out its online shopping for weeks. Chief executive Stuart Machin and chairman Archie Norman are addressing shareholders at the High Street stalwart's annual general meeting tomorrow at its headquarters in London. Questions are likely to be raised over the devastating cyber attack over the Easter bank holiday weekend, which bosses have said could cost the chain around £300m. In M&S's annual report in May, Norman said the impact of the cyber attack was likely to 'endure for some weeks, or even months'. The group was forced to halt website orders on April 25. It resumed online shopping only in mid-June, after more than six weeks. Customer personal data was also taken by the cyber criminals in the attack.

Blow to City as Initial Public Offerings at new low
Britain's stock market has suffered its worst first half of the year in decades, figures show. Analysis by data provider Dealogic reveals that stock market debuts have raised just £150m in 2025 so far, down 78 per cent on 2024 and the lowest level on records going back to 1999. There were just five London IPOs in the period, even lower than the desultory seven a year earlier, and the lowest level since 2009 when markets were in the grip of the financial crisis. The figures will intensify disquiet over the state of the London market which has been hit by a flurry of departures to rival exchanges and takeovers by foreign predators – who have spotted bargains among the UK's undervalued stocks. Fintech Wise recently announced it is upping sticks for New York, while hopes of a blockbuster float by fast-fashion giant Shein have evaporated as it plots a Hong Kong IPO instead. Tech firm Alphawave is among the UK-listed firms being snapped up. The latest gloomy data covers a period when Donald Trump's announcement of swingeing tariffs on trading partners – on what he called 'Liberation Day' in April – battered market sentiment at at time when there was already a dearth of IPOs. The worst of Trump's tariffs have since been put on hold. But Samuel Kerr, global head of equity capital markets at Dealogic, said: 'Liberation Day was a nightmare for deal flow, with April the worst since 2011 for global deal volume.' Charles Hall, head of research at Peel Hunt, said the figures highlighted what has been 'a theme for some time'. The London Stock Exchange's woes have led to calls for measures to force British pension funds to invest more in the UK. Hall added: 'If we don't have investment from domestic investors then we can't expect to have a healthy equity market. This is fundamental to the health of our economy.' Simon French, chief economist at Panmure Liberum, said the Government 'should promote an equity ownership culture' drawing on the legacy of 1980s privatisation campaigns. Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said the dearth of IPOs in the first half was not unique to London, with other global markets also struggling. The figures come days after it emerged that, in a rare boost for the City, Norwegian software firm Visma is planning a £16billion London IPO – partly encouraged by reforms to the UK's listings regime. Changes have been encouraged by a City task force set up to try to revive London's market. But LSE boss Julia Hoggett, who is spearheading the campaign, admitted in a speech last week: 'We still have not seen the real turning point in terms of risk capital within and into the UK.'
