Idea

Vizopay has developed a seamless carbon-offsetting payment platform. The idea originated with our founder Joe who recognised an upward trend in consumers being increasingly attentive to environmental sustainability.

Many environmental solutions force consumers and businesses to change their habits, either through switching products and services or by donating. We have built a platform that will enable effortless net carbon capture with every transaction. Consumers can securely pay, plant trees, capture carbon and track their impact.

In parallel we are addressing two core business challenges:

1. With environmental trends increasing, Vizopay aims to offer businesses a way to give customers a rewarding feeling at checkout improve basket conversion, instil brand loyalty and more effectively display their environmental efforts.
2. Powered by open banking, Vizopay is more cost-effective than traditional card payment services offering instant payouts, so Merchants can focus on growth, sustainability and rewarding their customers.

Our goal is to operate globally, launching in the UK with a potential market size of 20m consumers. Vizopay, aims to be a leading environmentally sustainable payment platform that offers an alternative to card payments, offering faster payouts, cheaper transactions fees and more secure payments. Join us as we enable a more sustainable future.

Risks

As with any investment, investing in Vizopay carries a level of risk. Overall, based on the key risks highlighted below, the degree of risk associated with an investment in Vizopay is higher than in a company that's trading on a public market.

Early-stage investment

Vizopay is at one of the earliest stages of the business lifecycle, and the failure rate of companies at that stage is usually much higher than those at a later stage.

Illiquid investment

The number of transactions in shares of private companies is usually significantly lower than in public companies, typically resulting in it taking longer to sell shares in private companies at a price that is at least equal to the price that the shares were bought at. Accordingly, the Vizopay investment opportunity is considered to be higher risk than more liquid companies.
