Who we are

Flatpay is one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in Europe.

We were founded in Copenhagen four years ago with a simple mission: to take the stress out of card payments for small and medium-sized businesses.

Today, accepting card payments has become unnecessarily complicated. Monthly hardware fees, different rates for different cards, hidden transaction costs, and frequent price increases make payments frustrating for business owners.

We built Flatpay to change that.

One flat rate across all cards. That’s it.

Flatpay is now more than 1,700 people across the UK, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Germany, France, and the Netherlands, and we’re scaling fast. The UK is one of our most important markets - and we’re just getting started.
