European Information Technology

What European Information Technology does

European Information Technology (EIT) is a UK-based, privately held provider of payment, logistics, and IT infrastructure services, headquartered in Crayford, Kent with a nationwide engineering footprint and a P2PE-certified warehouse in Erith. Founded in 2005 and operating with 11-50 employees, the company serves as an agnostic intermediary between terminal manufacturers (Newland, Castles, Verifone, Ingenico, Sunmi, PAX, and others), acquirers (Adyen, Clover, Worldpay, Cashflows, Planet, ITS), and end merchants, providing configuration, deployment, logistics, and white-labelled technical support across payment terminals, EPOS hardware, and network infrastructure. EIT operates against four core customer segments — ISOs, ISVs, acquirers, and merchants — with ISOs and ISVs identified as primary channels for embedded services.

The technical core of the business is the proprietary Payment Hub, a cloud-based portal and API exposing real-time order processing, BOM configuration, automated billing, TMS/OEM/courier integration, and SLA reporting. This platform underpins a multi-revenue-stream business model: hardware sales across the agnostic terminal portfolio, subscription-based hub/API access, professional engineering services, P2PE-secured logistics (pick/pack/despatch, storage, returns, WEEE disposal, swap services), white-labelled 1st/2nd-line helpdesk support (operated 362 days/year), and flexible transaction-fee-based acquiring via multiple acquirer relationships. All operations are covered by ISO 27001 information security certification and PCI P2PE Domain 1 warehouse compliance.

A wholly-owned subsidiary, Blue Scorpion, extends the platform into PCI DSS compliance and network security with IP Protect Lite, IP Protect Enterprise, Cyber Protect, and WiFi Solutions for SME and multi-site retail environments. Distribution is overwhelmingly channel-led — partners access EIT's services through white-label arrangements, with a 48-hour partner onboarding SLA and a long-tenured partner base (multiple named relationships exceeding a decade, including Payzone Ireland, PXP, Welcome Break, The White Company, 23.5 Degrees, and Stored). The company is privately held by its founding team — CEO Nigel Tanner and COO Sophie Garlick lead a six-person executive group including Directors of Innovation and Engineering — with no external PE/VC ownership evidenced.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Clover Network (Fiserv): Clover is a Fiserv-owned POS and payments platform that uses EIT for installation, logistics, and support in the UK. As an established full-stack payments and POS incumbent, it competes for the same white-labelled deployment and helpdesk services that EIT provides.
• Worldpay: Worldpay is a global payments giant and acquirer that partners with EIT for helpdesk and deployment of Worldpay 360 EPOS. Represents a broad incumbent with overlapping infrastructure support needs that EIT services.
• Dojo (Paymentsense): Dojo is one of the largest UK independent payment services providers, offering card machines, EPOS, and business funding. It is a much larger incumbent in the same UK merchant payments space where EIT operates as a deployment and infrastructure partner.
• Adyen: Adyen is a leading global payment platform and EIT integration partner. Operates a unified acquiring-plus-terminal offering and increasingly handles deployment and configuration in-house, making it both a customer of EIT and a structural risk to EIT's role.
• Verifone: Verifone is a global payment terminal manufacturer and one of EIT's flagship OEM partners. Verifone's own services arm (e.g., Verifone Central, Device Estate Management) overlaps with EIT's terminal lifecycle offering, making it a broad incumbent and potential insourcing competitor.

Direct peers

• Planet Payment (Planet): Planet is a global payment service provider with strong UK presence that partners with EIT for terminal supply and support. Operates in the same value-added payment services space, offering acquiring, multi-currency processing, and integrated POS solutions.
• PXP: PXP is a payment technology provider using EIT's Payment Hub portal and BOM configuration. Operates as a channel partner in the UK payment deployment space with similar ISV/ISO customer profiles, making it a direct peer in the white-labelled payment infrastructure market.
• Cashflows: Cashflows is a UK payment services provider that partners with EIT for terminal supply, logistics, and support. Offers acquiring, gateway, and merchant services to SMEs and ISOs, with comparable partner-led distribution model.
• Handepay: Handepay is a UK-based payment services provider offering card terminals, EPOS, and merchant services to SMEs. Comparable to EIT in targeting UK merchants with bundled terminal supply, support, and acquiring services through a partner/reseller motion.
• B2X: B2X provides payment terminal management, repair, and deployment services globally. Highly comparable to EIT in offering white-labelled terminal lifecycle support, reverse logistics, and managed services for ISOs, acquirers, and merchants.
