threegate

Threegate is a privately held technology firm that specializes in multi‑channel gateway solutions for digital payments, identity verification and data integration. Founded in 2010 in Manchester, United Kingdom, the company was created by a group of former bankers and software engineers who sought to streamline cross‑border transaction processing for e‑commerce merchants and financial institutions. Its flagship product, the Threegate Platform, offers a unified API that connects merchants to over 150 payment service providers, fraud‑prevention tools and compliance services, allowing real‑time routing of transactions through the most cost‑effective channel.

The firm expanded rapidly throughout the 2010s, opening offices in Dublin, Singapore and São Paulo to support its growing international client base. In 2017 Threegate secured Series B funding of £30 million led by Accel Partners, which was used to develop advanced machine‑learning models for risk scoring and to acquire the cloud‑based invoicing startup InvoiceOne. By 2022 the platform processed more than $10 billion in annual transaction volume and was certified under PCI‑DSS v4.0 and ISO 27001.

Threegate’s business model relies on transaction‑based fees plus subscription tiers for premium analytics and custom integration services. The company emphasizes regulatory compliance, offering tools for GDPR, PSD2 and AML reporting. Leadership has emphasized sustainable growth, targeting the mid‑market segment and positioning the platform as a “single‑pane” solution for merchants seeking to reduce complexity in payment orchestration.
