Building a Financially Inclusive World: Qippay's Vision for Open Banking
Our Story
Qippay, a Kiwi owned Open Banking company, was founded with a clear purpose: to simplify and minimise the expenses associated with payments for small businesses and charities. Through close collaboration with a select group of these organisations, we gained valuable insights into their challenges, enabling us to develop meaningful solutions.
In the process, we discovered that larger businesses, SaaS providers, and corporate organisations were grappling with similar issues. Determined to address the needs of businesses and charities of all sizes, we embarked on a mission to create solutions that would not only benefit them but also enhance the overall consumer experience.
This marked the beginning of our Open Banking journey, where we fostered connections with banks and worked towards building a comprehensive payments network that caters to everyone’s requirements.
