Tuppence

This platform provides online payment rails for businesses, developers and agents, letting users accept card payments at 0.79% (UK), earn 0.89% back on all card spend with no caps, and get paid out to their bank. It includes a store builder, expense management, payment links, direct debits, bookings, and a 'connect' platform for rolling payments out to marketplace businesses, with a UK-manufactured point-of-sale card reader for in-person payments. Roadmap items include ticketing and a 'treasury' feature offering 4% yield, FDIC/FSCS insurance, multi-currency fiat and stablecoin balances (USD, EUR, GBP, OUSD, USDC) with bank account numbers, positioned as a business layer on top of Stripe, Adyen and Checkout.com. It does not charge SaaS fees or lock users into contracts, and is built as a TypeScript monorepo (Ts.ED/Express, Postgres, React, React Native) with SDKs for Node, Python, iOS, Android, React Native and WordPress plus an MCP server and agent tools, hosted on Google Cloud Run and Cloud SQL.
