The story

Stellar Global is a UK-based omnichannel retail experience agency (not a fintech, not the Stellar blockchain, not Stellar Bank, and not StellarPay). Founded in 2019 by Emma Ede and Sally Willson, it designs hybrid retail experiences — physical retail teams, retail design, live chat & video shopping, social selling — for consumer brands across Europe including Sage Appliances, Samsung, Therabody, Bosch, Nike and Oura. Stellar has no embedded finance stack: it does not accept payments, issue cards, lend, or hold customer funds. It joined the Marvesting group and operates as a services business.
