What we do

What we do

Our work divides into two halves. On one side we act for any business or public body that makes or receives payments and wants to pay less to do so. On the other we act for the firms building payment products, where the questions are about licensing, pricing, and how a product connects to the schemes and the banks.

Cost Optimisation

Taking apart the full payments cost stack — card acceptance, cash handling, foreign exchange, banking charges and treasury — and recovering what is being overcharged. Most clients start here.
