Belgrade, Serbia June 12, 2025 Paysend, the global fintech and payments innovator, has just formally opened its newly expanded Global Technology Hub in Belgrade, Serbia, marking a major milestone in the company’s global expansion strategy. The opening ceremony coincides with the visit of the UK-Serbia Technology Trade Mission, underlining the growing partnership between the UK and Serbia in the technology and innovation sectors.

The event welcomed distinguished guests including Lord Ranger of Northwood, Chairman of the British Serbian Chamber of Commerce, Chris Barton, HM Trade Commissioner for Europe, and H.E. Edward Ferguson, British Ambassador to Serbia, demonstrating the strategic importance of the UK-Serbia relationship and the country’s rising role in Europe’s digital economy.

Located in the heart of Belgrade’s tech district, the newly renovated facility will serve as Paysend’s primary technology center, reinforcing the company’s commitment to investing in local talent and innovation. It will house engineering, product development, customer service, financial and operational teams supporting Paysend’s mission to build the world’s largest open, instant digital payments network.

Speaking at the opening, Chris Barton, HM Trade Commissioner for Europe, said:

“Today’s opening of Paysend’s expanded Technology Hub in Belgrade is a powerful symbol of the UK’s thriving tech collaboration with Serbia. It reflects our shared commitment to innovation, growth, and the future of digital finance. We are proud to see UK companies like Paysend investing in Serbia’s world-class talent and helping to shape the future of fintech across Europe and beyond.”

The UK-Serbia Technology Trade Mission, held in Novi Sad earlier the same day, convened industry leaders, policymakers, and investors to strengthen bilateral tech ties. The opening of Paysend’s office marks a tangible outcome of these efforts, reinforcing the alignment between the public and private sectors in advancing cross-border innovation.
