About Onerway
Onerway provides global businesses with safe, seamless global payment and corporate banking solutions. The fintech company has headquarters in Shanghai and London.
The challenge
Our core goal was to expand our business presence in the UK and become a trusted payment solutions provider for local merchants.
We aimed to address key pain points for UK businesses – such as cumbersome cross-border payment processes and inefficient local transaction handling – by offering convenient, secure and cost-effective payment services.
Additionally, we sought to build stable partnerships with UK enterprises across the retail, ecommerce and fintech sectors, and establish a recognisable brand within London’s dynamic business ecosystem.
How London & Partners helped
We were first introduced to London & Partners’ in-house specialist Talent team, who met with us to provide strategic advice on our London hiring plans. One of the areas we were struggling with was UK salary and benefits benchmarking, and we subsequently joined an expert webinar the Talent team organised on the theme.
London & Partners has also provided us with valuable insights and opportunities in our industry. We look forward to participating in future events and connecting with more partners through their excellent network.
The outcome
We chose London for its unique status as a global financial and tech hub, abundant merchant resources and supportive business environment – all key factors for our European market expansion.
London & Partners and Grow London helped turn this vision into reality: they connected us with high-potential partners and assisted in navigating the local market, removing key barriers to entry and giving us the confidence to scale rapidly.
London now serves as our European headquarters, and the foundation laid by this collaboration continues to drive our growth across the region. We sincerely appreciate Grow London’s role as a trusted partner and look forward to deepening our presence in the UK market with their ongoing support.
