About PAYA Group

PAYA Group is an independent payments and technology business built by industry experts with a passion for innovation, service and simplifying payments.

Combining decades of expertise in payment gateway technology, payment processing, fundraising and unattended payments, we help merchants, partners and payment providers navigate an increasingly complex payments landscape with confidence.

Today, PAYA Group processes more than £2.6 billion in transaction value annually, supporting organisations across the UK, Europe and Canada in sectors including retail, charity, B2B, vending, EV charging and self-service payments.

At the heart of our business is our own PCI DSS Level 1 compliant payment gateway, developed and supported by our in-house technology team. Accredited with UK and European acquirers, our gateway supports extensive terminal certification and device accreditation capabilities, enabling payment solutions to be brought to market securely and efficiently.

Our technology extends beyond traditional payment processing. We develop our own applications and payment experiences, including innovative SoftPOS solutions, giving clients and partners access to flexible, future-ready technology.

As an independent and agnostic provider, we combine our own technology with leading acquiring relationships to deliver secure, scalable end-to-end omnichannel payment solutions. Our capabilities support merchants directly while also enabling acquirers, technology businesses, software providers and terminal manufacturers to leverage our gateway, certifications, integrations and expertise.

Through specialist brands including PAYA Gateway and Toucan Giving, we continue to innovate across the payments and fundraising sectors, helping organisations embrace digital transformation and create exceptional payment experiences.
