Do you need real people who really understand your world?

Do you sometimes wish for fintech with a face?

Sometimes great tech isn’t quite enough. Sometimes you need an expert who can listen to what you need and suggest a solution that will work for your unique situation. Someone who’s an expert in their field, but who understands your world, too.

That’s our aim at Centtrip. We specialize in serving the most demanding sectors with great tech and real people.

Here are just a few recent examples.

When Steve Jarvis of Parkhouse Pictures needed to reduce currency risk…

We recommended a flexible forward currency contract to lock the future euro / sterling exchange rate so he knew exactly how much the project would receive when the film finance arrived.

“A shortfall would have caused us a serious issue. It would mean that we were no longer fully funded and potentially in breach of our completion bond. A sudden fluctuation in currency could have meant looking for big budget cuts or a dash for additional funding.”

The result…

“Thinking ahead and working with currency experts like Centtrip, you can save yourself a lot of heartache and [frustration].”

When production accountant Gareth Jones needed to minimize an actor’s inconvenience…

We pulled out all the stops to quickly get the actor’s card back in action. 

“If an artist’s card doesn’t work because they have spent the available balance, we need to move quickly to resolve the issue, because keeping those artists in best possible frame of mind gets the best out of performance time.”

The result…

“Centtrip’s understanding of the need to go above and beyond has been key. The Centtrip team understands how such situations come about and therefore they’re more responsive to them than a card provider that’s more used to just general business expenses.”

When Cooking Vinyl needed to streamline its royalties run…

We worked with the finance director to implement a faster, simpler and more cost-effective process for hundreds of royalty payments.

The result…

“It’s easier to review and amend an Excel spreadsheet for Centtrip than to scroll through hundreds of individual payments on a bank's system. It’s easier for us to spot potential errors and it’s faster for our chairman to approve. He approves the single, large payment to the Centtrip account and then I work with Centtrip on the timing of the artist payments. That means I’m less dependent on his schedule to ensure artists get paid on time.”

“The process is much easier to manage than working directly with bank payments and the Centtrip team are always there to provide fantastic support.”

Suzanne Lachapelle, Finance Director, Cooking Vinyl

“Centtrip has enabled us to remove the need for cash onboard our vessels, which benefits our business, our captains and our clients. The real-time reporting features keep us up to date 24/7 enabling our captains to stay on budget and know in advance if more funds will be required. It gives us the ability to instantly reconcile accounts when dealing with back-to-back charters as well as provide the charterer with details for expenditures straight away.”

"Centtrip's customer service is excellent. The team works hard and they deal with queries very quickly. They're always going above and beyond to make sure the clients are looked after.”

Lloyd Quilty, Director, SRLV

“The whole Centtrip team is very knowledgeable. They can't do enough for you and they won't let you off the phone until you're happy. That all helps us support our artists. The service ethic is clearly important to Centtrip. It’s important to us, too.”
