The story of BR-DGE

We are redefining the global payments landscape by building the technology, connections and relationships that enable merchants and payment providers to optimise, innovate and grow. Our vision is to drive value, equity and interoperability across the payments ecosystem. 

We’re committed to building a vibrant community of inspired employees, thriving merchants, and successful partners. We challenge outdated processes and legacy technology, to deliver solutions that enrich and empower businesses. 

Our story started at iconic transport company Stagecoach, where our founder, Brian Coburn, dealt with the struggle of complex payment challenges. He recognised the need for a flexible and scalable solution that would enable merchants to streamline and innovate the payment process, without limitations.  

By founding BR-DGE, Brian transformed legacy systems and pioneered changes in payment technology that created new revenue streams and enhanced customer experiences across the country. 

Since our foundations, we’ve come a long way as a business. BR-DGE is now a category leader in payment orchestration, working with enterprise businesses worldwide, across sectors such as transport, travel, gaming, and digital goods. 

We’ve built over 40 partnerships, including fraud solution integrations, PSP and payment methods connections, continually building our ecosystem to deliver innovation for our customers. 

Recently, we’ve responded to demand for a white-label version of our offering. It helps platforms, payment providers and financial services to enhance their payments infrastructure and own a piece of the orchestration opportunity.  

We’ve expanded globally and with an on-the-ground presence in the APAC region. We’re now able to onboard customers with a footprint across every region in the world. 

BR-DGE is constantly adapting, to move ahead of market demand. We are truly independent and vendor-agnostic. This means we are uniquely placed to deliver value throughout the payment landscape. 

Our product is only as good as the people behind it. It is their future-thinking that keeps us one step ahead. If you want to be part of our journey, take a look at our vacancies, or get in touch.
