Eckoh wins fifth Capita contract

Secure payment provider Eckoh has secured a new contract win with its UK channel partner, Capita Customer Management.

Eckoh's new deal with Capita, its fifth "significant" contract win with the firm since the partnership was created in 2013, comes with a minimum value of £1.4m and will see the AIM-listed group provide a "broad customer engagement and secure payments solution" to one of Capita's public sector clients.

Eckoh will deliver the solution using its Experience Portal, an upgraded technology platform for delivering omnichannel services acquired through the addition of Klick2Contact to the group in 2016, alongside its existing secure payment products.

Nik Philpot, Eckoh's chief executive officer, said "We are delighted to be working with Capita once again on this significant new contract. This contract win reinforces our market-leading position in delivering specialist customer engagement solutions and demonstrates the value of our strategic channel partner relationships."

As of 0840 BST, Eckoh shares had picked up 1.05% to 38.65p.
