300 Jobs Announced at FinTrU, Letterkenny

FinTrU Founder & CEO, Darragh McCarthy, said “We are extremely excited to announce the news of our North West regional expansion with the establishment of our Letterkenny site. FinTrU has enjoyed a great relationship with the North West region, having set up our Derry/Londonderry office in October 2018, with over 300 employees presently working at this site”.

He continued: “We already employ several people from Letterkenny and the wider County of Donegal, so it was a natural step for us to open an EU Delivery Office right here in Letterkenny. The highly educated and ambitious talent based here in Donegal was a major motivating factor in FinTrU choosing Letterkenny as the next EU base. This new location will further support FinTrU as we continue to work with the largest International Investment Banks across the world”.

What is FinTrU?

Established in 2013 and headquartered in Belfast, FinTrU designs technology-enabled solutions for Investment Banks across the world. FinTrU currently employs more than 1,000 people worldwide with offices in Belfast, Derry/Londonderry, Dublin, London, Maastricht, and New York. In March 2022, FinTrU was named by the Financial Times as one of Europe’s Fastest Growing Companies for the second year in a row.

“FinTrU has forged a great partnership with IDA Ireland, Donegal County Council, Donegal  Education & Training Board (ETB) and the Atlantic Technological University over the years and we are delighted to be working with them in delivering this project over the years to come”, Mr McCarthy concluded.

This project is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland.

IDA Ireland CEO Martin Shanahan said: “This is, without doubt, a red-letter day for Letterkenny. This investment, creating 300 jobs in this region is hugely significant. It represents confidence by FinTrU in the North West and will be a substantial boost to the local economy.  I wish FinTrU every success with this expansion.”
