Noel Moran
Prepaid Financial Services
As one of the only fintech firms in the world to have recorded 11 consecutive years of profitability, Prepaid Financial Services (PFS) is well on its way to becoming a leading name in the European financial services sector. Currently headed towards its IPO, the company is already one of the fastest-growing e-money payment institutions on the continent. CEO Noel Moran left school early with no qualifications, but now finds himself a fintech magnate with a joint 81.5 percent stake in the company alongside his wife, Valerie. PFS works in partnership with major global card networks and the all-in-one payment gateway, acquirer, underwriter and processor eCOMM Merchant Solutions, which Moran also founded.
