International finance firm to create 100 jobs with global HQ in Dublin

A new international specialist finance firm, Aztec Money, has selected Dublin as the location for its global headquarters — a move which will create 100 jobs over the next two years.

In announcing the development yesterday Aztec — which improves SME access to finance — said it will have unlimited capital resources from which to provide additional credit to small businesses here.

Aztec’s business model doesn’t see it lend money to firms; rather it acts as a middleman between companies and institutional investors; and the business is targeting firms who are hamstrung by late payments and lack of access to financing, as its clients.
