We simplify payments so businesses sell more and people buy hassle-free

Why do we exist

Before
Paying was strict. If you didn't have a card, there were no fees. You paid in advance and trusted that everything would be fine. Businesses were losing sales and people were losing opportunities.
2018
Inspired by an idea that was born in Sweden, we created a way to buy in installments without cards: simple, transparent and with responsible access to credit.
Hoy
We are a payment platform that helps businesses to sell more and people to buy without complications. What started out as BNPL evolved to offer faster and safer payments for both sides.
