SplitBill is an Open Banking technology-centered App, the company notes while adding that they aim to bring you “into the future with cardless payments.” Users and merchants may complete transactions via SplitBill by simply scanning a QR Code while visiting physical or online stores.
QR stands for “Quick Response” Code, the company explains while pointing out that it’s capable of storing a large amount of data and when scanned it lets the customer carry out an operation instantly.
While commenting on market conditions, traction, and growth potential, the firm confirmed that the United Kingdom currently leads in the Open Banking adoption and the financial data-sharing method “could boost the UK GDP by £1 billion annually.”
The company added that they identified a key opportunity to significantly lower card payments for their clients “given that the Open Banking sector is estimated to grow to £7.2bn by 2022.”
The company further revealed:
“To date SplitBill has been downloaded 3000 times and processed more than £90k via our Open banking partner, there are tremendous opportunities in the Checkout market including simplifying e-commerce enabling transactions without inserting card details (linked through API to the Merchants’ Stores) and the possibility to settle restaurants bills at the table by just scanning a QR code.”
They also noted that thanks to this seed round, SplitBill is now planning to fund further tech developments with “a focus on the Merchant functionalities and invest in client acquisition and business development.”
