Cambridge Global Payments Named One of Canada's Best Managed Companies in 2015

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - March 9, 2016) - Cambridge Global Payments ("Cambridge"), a leading provider of integrated cross-border payment services and risk management solutions, has been named one of Canada's Best Managed Companies in 2015 for excellence in innovative growth strategies and outstanding business performance. The Best Managed program recognizes Canadian-owned and managed companies with revenues over $10 million demonstrating strategy, capability, and commitment to achieve sustainable growth.

"Cambridge's success in 2015 can be largely attributed to the advancement of our integrated payments solution technology and the knowledge and commitment from our employees," said Gary McDonald, Chief Executive Officer, Cambridge Global Payments. "We are honored to be recognized as one of Canada's Best Managed Companies, another milestone that affirms that we are on the right path to continue delivering industry-leading technology solutions that transform the way businesses manage their international payments."

Critical factors in powering the Company's sustainable growth strategies include: ongoing development of new technologies, acquisition of high volume clients, a robust global banking footprint, and most importantly, growing and investing in its highly-skilled employees.

"Our rapid transformation from a regional foreign exchange brokerage to one of the largest bank-independent providers of payments solutions globally has been remarkable. It is a privilege to work alongside our leadership team and dedicated employees who have been a part of this growth - a legacy that I am confident will continue to drive us forward for years to come," said McDonald.

"I would like to recognize the entire efforts of Cambridge Global Payments. It takes a dedicated effort from an entire team to focus on a core vision, create stakeholder value and excel in the global economy to achieve this level of success," said Peter Brown, Partner, Deloitte and Co-Leader, Canada's Best Managed Companies program.
