Getting paid fast

We've built our payments platform so you can offer digital payments for free.

Open Banking payments

Your customers authorise an instant and secure transfer of funds using their banking app.

Manual transfers & cash payments

You can still share your bank details or accept in-person payments.  Just mark the invoice as paid.

Incentivising fast payment

Apply discounts for fast payment and discourage late payment with automatic late fees.
