Leading global payments provider Paysafe has been recognised for its Employer Brand and Investment in Human Capital in Bulgaria’s Company of the Year awards. 

The official ceremony took place on April 19 in Sofia, with guests including government officials and business representatives. The event is supported by the Deputy Prime Minister of Economics and Demographic Policy, in collaboration with the Minister of Economy, the Minister of Education and the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy for the Republic of Bulgaria. The organisers of the annual event are Bulgaria’s Business Review magazine, Business Lady magazine and the Business Lady Club. 

The annual Company of the Year awards aims to recognise successful business and management models and celebrate best practice. Paysafe was recognised for its investments in human capital in Bulgaria and for its ongoing efforts in creating a great place to work with a friendly and modern working environment for employees. 

Paysafe moved into a new facility in Sofia at the end of 2015 and has gradually expanded its office space to occupy seven floors, accommodating more than 900 employees in Capital Fort, one of the most modern office buildings in Sofia – itself an award winner in 2017. 

Over the last few years the company has seen strong growth in its employee base in Bulgaria. Today, Paysafe’s Sofia hub is the centre for company’s global operations, including technology, infrastructure, risk, fraud and customer services. 

Miroslav Bojilov, Paysafe’s General Manager in Bulgaria, commented on the award win: “At Paysafe we are proud to offer a motivational working environment and the opportunity for our team in Bulgaria to work on and support leading, innovative payment products that are used around the world. We have much to celebrate, and winning this award validates our efforts as we go on to achieve more in the future.” 

Petya Nikolova, Paysafe’s Head of HR in Bulgaria, added: “At Paysafe we are committed to fostering an entrepreneurial and open culture which is centred around breaking new boundaries in the work we do every day. Our people are our greatest asset and we will continue to cultivate an environment where they can develop and grow.” 

This latest award follows a series of accolades for Paysafe as an employer of choice – both in Bulgaria and globally. The company was recently named by Capital 100 as the largest software company in Bulgaria. On a global level, the company was recently rated one of Canada's top two employers at the Glassdoor Employees' Choice awards, and came first in Austria’s ‘Great Place to Work’ awards’ ‘Modern Workplaces’ category.
