Satispay runs a mobile payments network that does not rely on traditional card networks. The app connects to a user’s bank account via IBAN to create a funded digital wallet for in-store, online, and peer-to-peer payments, often completed by scanning QR codes. Merchants pay fees to Satispay for processing, while most consumer services are free. Its goal is to make everyday payments cheaper and simpler for small businesses and individuals, while expanding services like digital vouchers and employee benefits across Europe.
