No bias, no ties
Run Ventures is an independent market analyst and consulting firm. We help banks, processors and vendors optimise the cost and capacity of the rails their payments run on.
Who we are
We are completely independent, with no bias or ties to any organisation, so our services are focused entirely on your needs.
Established in 1996, Run Ventures is based in Dublin, Ireland, and serves clients across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Asia. Working daily at the heart of the payments ecosystem, and with an extensive global network, we can bring in the right people for you.
Unlike others, we are ready to work with you to implement the strategies we recommend, through your entire life cycle, from market intelligence through to operations. Our consultants apply the Run Ventures-DPE methodology (Discovery, Plan, Effect), a structured way of delivering our services so stakeholders can quickly understand the challenges they face and we can engage at pace.
The SWIFT practice
Our experience on both sides of the message flow shapes how we approach each of our six SWIFT services.
Who we work with
Operational clients run payments: financial services firms, banks, processors, vendors, and oil and gas companies. Advisory clients invest in them: private investment banks, private equity, Wall Street advisory and venture capital.
Also on request: pricing & interchange review, business analytics, product roadmap development, loyalty solutions, education & mentoring, expert witness.
