“Can a pet insurance challenger brand use digital-first claims, group buying power, and data-driven underwriting to displace incumbent pet insurers across the UK, US, and Sweden?”
Founded in 2011 as a group-buying pet insurance platform — aggregating members to negotiate better rates with insurers — ManyPets evolved into a direct pet insurance provider, underwriting its own policies in the UK, US, and Sweden. The company moved from pure marketplace/commission model to also carrying insurance risk directly, and invested in digital infrastructure including a Vet Portal for claims submission. Its embedded finance stack is focused on subscription payment collection (GoCardless, Stripe) and global AP automation (Tipalti, Bound for FX hedging).
ManyPets processes payments through Stripe and GoCardless.
ManyPets connects to bank accounts through Gocardless.
ManyPets uses Bound for FX and cross-border payouts.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 4 layers in ManyPets's stack: Payments / PSP (Stripe and GoCardless); Open banking (Gocardless); FX & payouts (Bound); Spend / AP (Tipalti).
ManyPets is founded in 2011 and headquartered in London, UK (Unit 1b, 1-10 Summers Street, London EC1R 5BD).
