Innovation is the momentum to take an existing product or service and improve it and/or disrupting a product or service by developing an entirely new approach.
MuchBetter wins award for Best Innovation in Payments
MuchBetter recognised a growing consumer market opportunity for new contactless payments solutions powered by its e-wallet, especially with contactless limits being raised to £45 and now £100 .
For merchants, the difficulty and expense of KYC processes under regulations such as a second Payments Services Directive (PSD2) is a significant pain point when receiving physical and online card transactions. KYC processes can be long or complex, which means that users simply give up.
The challenge for MuchBetter was to remove friction between merchant and customer without compromising on security. Through MuchBetter’s open-API, the merchant sends the payment request to the customer’s MuchBetter-app and the customer simply approves a transaction via their app with Touch-ID, and their money moves to the merchant in real-time. There are no passwords, no security questions, no email registration, no usernames, no redirects. It is a seamless customer payment journey yet offers strong SCA-compliant customer authentication.
In the last 12 months, MuchBetter has grown from 35 to almost 100 members of staff, serving ~400,000 more customers, expanded into 30 additional countries, and partnered with 200 new merchants.
Aside from its worldwide expansion, one of MuchBetter’s most significant achievements is to eliminate online fraud. Indeed, there have been no instances of third-party fraud on MuchBetter cards to date.
