Have we teamed up with your bank yet?
Your business bank must be displayed in order to use Wonderful Payments. We also have a list of supported banks for customer payments for reference. We’re adding new banks at a pace to match our Head of Tech’s coffee consumption. (Almost.)
If your bank isn't supported yet, fill out the form and we’ll be in touch.
Back in 2016, we launched wonderful.org - a free charity fundraising platform that teamed up with some of the UK’s most deserving causes. It’s where our journey began, and it’s why we’ve always believed in using tech for good.
Our platform quickly gained traction and was endorsed by the Money Saving Expert. But with all that success came a challenge - the high cost of card processing started holding us back, limiting how much we could do.
Switching to Open Banking was the game-changer. It didn’t just solve our problem, it solved yours too. We believe businesses and charities shouldn’t be hit with high fees just to get paid.
We’re still proudly providing fee-free services to UK charities, because we know charities, donors, and fundraisers do amazing work every day. Now, you and your customers can help support those efforts with a wonderful, hassle-free checkout experience.
“We’ve been using Wonderful for a few months now. Reducing payment processing costs by 99% is a winner, but we’ve also been very impressed with the payments technology. We can use Wonderful's One app to take payment in the showroom or generate a payment link which we email to our customer. Either way, the money is in our account instantly and we remove all the faff of getting paid.
The Wonderful team is very helpful so if you’re new to open banking or have any questions about how it works, they’re always on hand. Getting started is straightforward and you’ll be saving straight away. Highly recommend.”
