“Can a lean UK SME lending comparison platform displace traditional finance brokers by offering total market transparency and instant lender-matching at no cost to the borrower?”
Originally conceived as a broader fintech covering international money transfer, B2B/C2C payments, and smart contracts, Pellepay appears to have pivoted toward a UK-focused SME lending comparison platform operating as an FCA-regulated introducer (not a lender). The company (PELLO PAY LIMITED, Co. No. 16289812) now operates pellepay.io, connecting UK businesses with third-party lenders for short-term loans and working capital, earning success-based commissions. A separate domain (pellepay.com / pellopay.com) markets payment processing services to global merchants, suggesting possible dual business lines or a rebrand in progress.
Pellepay discloses Evolve Bank & Trust as its banking provider, according to the Embedded Finance Index 2026.
Pellepay does not disclose a bank charter of its own; its banking services are provided through Evolve Bank & Trust.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 3 layers in Pellepay's stack: Banking / BaaS (Evolve Bank & Trust); Lending (Short-term business loans (broker/introducer) and Working capital comparison (broker/introducer)); Sponsor bank (Evolve Bank & Trust).
Pellepay is founded in 2020 and headquartered in United Kingdom.
