Pioneering Inclusivity in Open Banking

Our Purpose and Journey

Qippay’s core purpose is to provide financial democratisation, by helping to reshape the payment landscape for all businesses and charities. From our inception, the focus has been clear: to streamline payments and reduce financial stress. It was through working intimately with a network of businesses that we uncovered their financial challenges, inspiring us to innovate and engineer tailored solutions.

As we delved deeper, it became apparent that entities of all sizes and scales shared these same obstacles. As a result, we expanded our horizon to devise solutions that served the wider business community while simultaneously uplifting the consumer experience, especially in the areas of transaction fees and credit card processing.

This ambition fuelled our Open Banking odyssey, cultivating partnerships with banks and meticulously constructing a payment network that is inclusive and serves the diverse needs of every New Zealander.

 

Our Mission: Transforming Transactions

Our mission is singular yet transformative: to revolutionise transactional processes for businesses and their customers, facilitating instant payments without exorbitant fees. It’s a journey towards seamless financial interactions, where cost-efficiency and speed are not mutually exclusive but rather our base standard.
