The story

Shamrock Trading Corporation began in 1986 as a transportation services company and has since evolved into a diversified holding company spanning logistics, fintech-adjacent financial services, and SaaS. Its RTS brand expanded from freight brokerage into multi-industry invoice factoring, fuel discounts, equipment financing, and insurance — embedding financial services directly into the transportation supply chain. RTS International extended this into international trade finance for exporters. The company remains privately held and continues to grow its family of brands organically.
