Our Origin Story

Identifying the Gap

During their involvement in enterprise-scale projects, the founders of Penny identified a glaring market inefficiency. Small to medium-sized enterprises and start-ups frequently found themselves without viable options for cost-effective and efficient payment services. These businesses were either sidelined due to high costs or inundated with payment systems that, while designed for larger corporations, were excessively intricate for their needs.

Cost-Effective Solutions

Our cloud-based application eliminates the financial burden usually associated with payment services. This makes it easier for startups to focus on what really matters: growing their business.

Secure and Reliable

Security is non-negotiable. Leveraging Penny's expertise in card payments and financial security, we've implemented state-of-the-art measures to ensure the highest levels of data protection and transactional security.

Real-World Solutions

We've fully committed to developing the quickest and most straightforward card issuing tools for developers, enabling them to generate virtual payment cards programmatically and oversee their transactions with ease.
