Who Was Your First Customer and What Did They Mean for Your Business? | FF News at FTT Payments 2025
By Dominic Sow · 3 June 2025
There's something really unique about landing your first customer. At this year's FTT Payments, we asked the attendees: Who was your first customer?
The responses brought up some great stories about where it all began and the milestones along the way. Some people remembered right away—like N26, Finpay, and Lewis University. Others took a trip down memory lane, thinking back to when they first started out.
Big names like the European Central Bank are mixed in with newer companies like Snowdrop Solutions and Lydia, showing how that first moment of trust really counts.
Whether it was a university, a bank, or a bus service, everyone had a similar vibe: that first ‘yes’ was just the beginning of everything.
Just like at FTT Payments, these early moments remind us that in fintech, where you start really matters.
