Super Payments

Can a payment network that charges merchants 0% by monetising advertising and credit referrals displace traditional card-acquirer economics in UK e-commerce?

The story

Founded as a UK payment network built around the proposition of 0% processing fees for merchants, Super Payments earns revenue via advertising, a BNPL credit referral commission from Abound, and optional paid add-ons rather than transaction charges. The company built its stack on top of Stripe (card acquiring), Yapily (open banking PIS), and Modulr (e-money / business accounts) rather than obtaining its own EMI licence. The introduction of Super Credit (BNPL) in 2024 deepened the consumer engagement loop, making Super a loyalty-and-payments network rather than a pure payments processor.
