Curotec

Cuscal is Australia's largest independent provider of end-to-end payments and regulated data solutions outside of the Big Four banks. Since 1966, we have played a foundational role in shaping the nation's payments ecosystem, combining the licensing, infrastructure, and regulatory oversight of an Authorised Deposit-taking Institution with the innovation and agility of a fintech. Our comprehensive suite of solutions spans real-time payments, card issuing, acquiring, fraud monitoring, digital wallets, and Consumer Data Right services. With nearly 60 years of innovation and a proven track record of adapting to market changes, Cuscal has been at the forefront of championing competition in banking and regulated payments. We launched Australia's first ATM in 1977, enabled over 60% of financial institutions on day one of the New Payments Platform in 2018, and completed our IPO on the ASX in 2024. Today, we support banks, fintechs, and corporates with the connections, capital strength, and capabilities needed to deliver seamless, secure, and scalable payment experiences to millions of customers.

In 1994, our founder Thomas van Mourik started a haulage business in Market Drayton, Shropshire, initially supporting the expansion of Müller Dairy. What began as a single-site operation serving just one client has grown into something extraordinary. By building a strong reputation and consistently offering tailored, efficient, and cost-effective logistics solutions, we transformed from that humble beginning into the largest privately owned logistics provider in the United Kingdom. Today, Culina Group stands as a market-leading ambient and chilled food & drink 3PL specialist, with over 100 locations across the UK and Ireland, 2,000+ trucks on the road, and 17,000 colleagues driving our success. We provide comprehensive warehousing, distribution, contract packing, and bonded division services that transform the food and drink supply chain. Our journey from 1994 to now - over 30 years of growth - has been fueled by our commitment to excellence, innovation in logistics technology including real-time GPS tracking, and an unwavering focus on the success of our clients and colleagues alike.

At Verto, we're on a mission to democratise global finance by building cross-border payment infrastructure that actually works for businesses in emerging markets. We started because we saw firsthand how broken international payments are - high fees, slow transactions, currencies that simply don't convert. What began as an FX solution for the Nigerian Naira has grown into a platform that helps thousands of businesses move billions of dollars annually across borders, with particular focus on bridging the gap between African markets and the rest of the world. We believe that where you do business shouldn't determine your success or your ability to scale. Our platform handles the messy complexity of global payments - multi-currency accounts, FX hedging, local payment collection - so businesses can focus on actually growing. We're not just building software; we're creating equal access to the financial tools that companies in developed markets take for granted. Backed by investors like Y-Combinator and Quona, we're growing fast but staying focused on the problem that matters most: making global trade genuinely borderless.

We're a people company first, with over 400 employees worldwide working together to build a safer, more transparent society. Our mission goes beyond technology - we call it AI for good.

With over a decade of experience and 862 cognitive engines, we develop customized solutions that fit each organization's unique needs, ensuring AI serves humanity in meaningful ways.

In 1917, J. Clydesdale Cushman and Bernard Wakefield founded what would become one of the world's leading commercial real estate services firms, starting as a small family business in New York with a passion for property management and a belief in applying disciplined principles to real estate. More than a century later, that small family business has evolved into a global powerhouse with approximately 53,000 professionals operating across 400 offices in 60 countries, generating over $10 billion in annual revenue. The firm's journey has been marked by strategic expansions, including the landmark 2015 merger with DTZ and a 2018 listing on the New York Stock Exchange, transforming it into the industry leader it is today. At Cushman & Wakefield, we believe the built environment is complex and that there are always bigger problems to outthink and greater challenges to outdo. That's why we never settle for the world that's been built, but relentlessly drive it forward for our clients, colleagues and communities. Guided by our core values of being Driven, Resilient, Inclusive, Visionary, and Entrepreneurial, we combine the power of a global platform with local expertise to deliver exceptional value. From helping clients find the perfect location to managing assets across continents, we transform challenges into opportunities and create real estate solutions that prepare our clients for what's next.
