The London-based startup, which made its funding announcement at the TechCrunch Disrupt show, has built mobile payment platform that utilizes on-screen barcodes to allow retailers to build in loyalty perks programs. For retailers, it allows for the use of existing scanners so that no additional equipment is needed, and it claims that it is faster than other e-payment solutions. While it is up against some steep competition, the founding team has significant experience in the payments space.
