Helping Organisations Thrive and Deliver Economic and Social Value
Oxygen Finance specialise in payments control, the procurement process and public sector market insight. We are also the UK’s leading provider of Early Payment programmes.
Our organisation exists to help businesses thrive, and deliver a wider benefit by funding public services within the local community.
Since 2004, we’ve created financial benefits and improved social value outcomes for the NHS, local and central government, and FTSE 100 companies.
Our products and services all work together to make things run smoothly. Oxygen’s early payment platforms get businesses paid faster, improve how public sector organisations buy and keep them compliant.
That includes FreePay which lets organisations pay their small and micro suppliers early for free. And for sales and marketing teams, our Insight Solutions help you understand how the public sector spends public money, so their prospecting time is wisely spent.
Oxygen Finance help public and private organisations do business with each other. We make payments easier and faster, so organisations can trade more effectively, and use big data and payment expertise to deliver a better social outcome.
At the heart of our work is a skilled, dedicated team, who are committed to great service and expertise in the public sector procurement process. We are determined to create a positive social impact for our clients and the people they serve.
