About PayTrueQR: Making QR Code Payments Fairer For Small Businesses

Running a small business takes hard work. Keeping more of what you earn shouldn't be complicated. At PayTrueQR, we're making QR code payments simpler and more affordable for UK businesses through Open Banking technology.

Our story started with a hairdressing salon, a hardworking mother and a belief that small business owners deserve better.

Our story

Inspired By 30 Years Of Hard Work

"For 30 years, I watched my mother pour her heart into her hairdressing business. I saw the long hours, the care she gave every customer and the pride she took in her work.

But I also saw how card fees, terminal rentals and delayed payments ate into her hard-earned money. Sometimes, she lost up to 3.5% in fees and waited days to receive what she'd earned.

It never felt fair. She did the work, so why should others take such a large cut?

That's why I created PayTrueQR. To give hardworking small business owners like my mother a simpler, fairer way to get paid and keep more of what they earn."

Our approach

A Simpler Way For Small Businesses To Get Paid

We use QR codes and Open Banking technology to help businesses accept secure bank-to-bank payments without relying on traditional card terminals.

Our approach is built around what matters to small business owners:

  • Transparent pricing

    A fixed 20p transaction fee, including VAT, rather than percentage-based charges.

  • Faster payments

    Most payments arrive within seconds through the UK's Faster Payments infrastructure.

  • No terminal rentals

    Accept payments using the PayTrueQR app, without purchasing a traditional card reader.

  • Simple customer experience

    Customers scan a QR code and authorise payment through their supported banking app.

Our mission is simple: help UK businesses keep more of what they earn.
