California-based online payment solutions firm YapStone International is to establish new EMEA region headquarters in Drogheda, County Louth, creating 120 new jobs.

The announcement was made in California by jobs, enterprise and innovation minister Richard Bruton alongside investment agency IDA Ireland’s chief executive Barry O’Leary, where both are spending the week at a number of events meeting current and prospective IDA clients.

The office will provide jobs in the areas of customer support, research & development, software engineering, finance and accounting. Interested jobseekers are directed to apply via the website of YapStone brand Holidayrentpayment.co.uk.

Matt Golis, chief executive and co-founder of YapStone, says: “With our new headquarters in Ireland, we have a strong gateway to the European market, and look forward to working with the Irish government and IDA to create jobs in Ireland for many years to come.”
