Paytient Payments is an Irish Fintech founded in 2017 by Ruairi Gough, a first-generation entrepreneur and businessman, with the goal of helping healthcare organisations to embrace digital payments. Ruairi established Dental Marketing International in 2011 to provide specialist dental marketing services in Ireland. Dental Marketing International went on to work with dentists in 5 countries, and during this time Ruairi identified a niche for a new dentist-orientated payments business, to help dentists move away from cash and cards and run more efficient businesses. Paytient Payments is now live in almost a hundred clinics across Europe and is processing millions of pounds each year.
Ruairi Gough CEO & Founder
Ruairi Gough founded Paytient Payments during the NDRC Fintech Pre-accelerator from October to December 2017, where he went on to win the Audience Award for Best Pitch 2017.
In April 2018 Paytient Payments was incorporated as a company and became a client of Enterprise Ireland. The company received Feasibility Funding, this funding was used to build an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and launch electronic direct debit for dental clinics.
Paytient Payments went live in December 2018 with several dental clinics in Europe using our software to set up Custom Payment Plans for their patients.
We launched in the UK in 2022 and started collecting dental membership plan payments on behalf of dental clinics.
