Designed to combine the speed of one-tap checkout with the power of open banking. WollettePay is the first payment system to deliver a truly seamless account-to-account (A2A) experience.
Set to launch in Q4 2025, WollettePay introduces a breakthrough in payment innovation by offering what current Open Banking solutions have yet to achieve: frictionless, one-tap, instant A2A payments that match the ease and speed of the world's leading payment methods – such as card networks – while delivering the transparency, intelligence, and cost-efficiency of open banking.
Making everyday payments effortless
For too long, shoppers and retailers have faced payment experiences that are often slow and fragmented. While open banking has opened new possibilities for account-to-account payments, many existing solutions still require multiple steps and deliver inconsistent performance.
With WollettePay, each transaction is protected by biometric verification, tokenisation, and advanced encryption, providing merchants and consumers with complete confidence in a seamless, secure experience.
'We believe the future of payments is instant, intelligent, and effortless, and our mission is to remove friction from every transaction,' said Henry Orunkoya, Founder and CEO of Wollette.
'WollettePay is the first solution to bring open banking up to speed with the card networks. We are giving consumers and merchants a payment experience that is finally as simple as it should be.'
Empowering merchants with smarter platform
WollettePay joins a suite of Wollette's commerce-enabling products, designed to:
Integrate seamlessly with accounting, inventory, and supplier systems to streamline operations.
Unlock actionable insights through digital receipts and rich sales analytics.
Reduce costs and strengthen customer loyalty with data-driven engagement programmes.

No cards
Merchants avoid card fees and reduce fraud.
Strong Consumer Authentication
Each transaction is securely authorized via biometric authentication, with tokenisation and encryption protecting all payment data.
Omnichannel

Rethinking How Money Moves
For years, businesses have relied on traditional payment rails that, while foundational, often come with high fees, complex reconciliation processes, and limitations that slow innovation. WollettePay offers a modern alternative – streamlining payments by connecting banks and merchants directly, without unnecessary layers. The result is a smarter, more efficient way to pay that supports businesses, and enhances the customer experience.
Join the Future of Payments
WollettePay will be available to merchants and partners across the UK from Q4 2025, expanding to the rest of Europe in Q1 2026. Pre-registration opens in early July.
'Open banking is moving beyond infrastructure to deliver seamless, secure experiences that benefit both consumers and merchants. With WollettePay, we're inviting you to be part of the future of payments '– Henry Orunkoya, Founder & CEO, Wollette

Trump says US-UK deal ‘done' as steel tariffs still up in air
The deal will grant British carmakers a reprieve by the end of June as levies drop from 25% to 10%, while the aerospace sector will face no import taxes. But tariffs for the steel industry, which is of key economic importance to the UK, will stand at 25% for now rather than falling to zero as originally agreed. This is less than the US global rate of 50% for steel and aluminium. The Prime Minister described the pact as a 'sign of strength' in the transatlantic relationship, while Mr Trump praised Sir Keir as a 'friend' who had done a 'great job' securing the deal that eluded leaders before him. Following the hastily arranged meeting, the two leaders posed for pictures outside the G7 venue with the signed documents, which the US president dropped before Sir Keir picked them up. Mr Trump also mistakenly referred to the pact as a 'trade agreement with the European Union.' In an impromptu media spray, the US president was asked whether steel tariffs would be eliminated, to which he replied: 'We're gonna let you have that information in a little while.' Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer picks up UK-US trade deal papers dropped by US President Donald Trump before speaking to the media (Stefan Rousseau/PA) The Department for Business and Trade said the two leaders had pledged to 'make progress towards 0% tariffs on core steel products as agreed'. Asked whether Britain would be shielded from future tariffs, Mr Trump said the UK was protected 'because I like them'. 'The UK is very well protected, you know why? Because I like them. That's their ultimate protection,' he said. The PM told the US President: 'Donald, thank you very much… A really important agreement. And so this is a very good day for both of our countries, a real sign of strength.' The terms of the deal were agreed in May, but neither Washington nor London had yet taken the necessary steps to reduce tariffs. Reports have since suggested the US could also push for the NHS to pay more for American drugs in exchange for softened tariffs, with White House sources telling the Telegraph the service would be expected to pay higher prices. Downing Street insisted the Government will 'only ever sign trade agreements that align with the UK's national interests' but did not rule out discussing the issue with Washington. The Prime Minister was also insistent that a nuclear submarine deal between the UK, US and Australia, called Aukus, is 'very important' to both the United States and Britain. He said it was proceeding despite Washington launching a review into the pact, which is worth around £176 billion and believed to be aimed at countering China. He said: 'We're proceeding with that, it's a really important deal to both of us. 'I think the president is doing a review, we did a review when we came into government, and that makes good sense to me.' Later on Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on X that Mr Trump would be leaving the summit early due to the situation in the Middle East, following a dinner with heads of state. 'Much was accomplished, but because of what's going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State,' she said. President Trump had a great day at the G7, even signing a major trade deal with the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Much was accomplished, but because of what's going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State. — Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) June 16, 2025 Meanwhile, Sir Keir and his fellow world leaders are locked in a week of intense diplomacy amid the spiralling conflict in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine. The Prime Minister joined Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni, French President Emmanuel Macron, Mr Carney and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for a glass of wine and informal discussions on Sunday night. Downing Street dismissed suggestions that the get-together had been a 'Trump-handling' exercise to prove the summit against the US president's unpredictability as leaders seek to put on a united front in the face of heightened global instability. Splits had earlier opened up in the response to Russia, which Mr Trump suggested should not have been kicked out of the former G8 following its annexation of Crimea in 2014. The US leader also signalled his reluctance to impose further American sanctions on Moscow despite a European push to heap more pressure on Vladimir Putin as he resists calls for an unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer (left) during a bilateral meeting with the President of France Emmanuel Macron at the G7 summit (Stefan Rousseau/PA) Standing alongside Sir Keir, who had earlier said G7 allies would seek to ratchet up measures against the Kremlin, Mr Trump said sanctions were 'not that easy' and would cost Washington 'a tremendous amount of money'. Asked whether Washington supported European efforts to impose further measures, he told reporters ahead of a bilateral meeting with the UK Prime Minister: 'Well Europe is saying that, but they haven't done it yet. 'Let's see them do it first.' Asked why he wanted to wait to impose sanctions, Mr Trump said: 'Because I'm waiting to see whether or not a deal is done… and don't forget, you know, sanctions cost us a lot of money.'

EXCLUSIVE Masked robbers use ultra powerful hydraulic clamp called 'jaws of life' to prise safe out of G4S security van and steal cash in brazen raid
This is the moment four masked men used an ultra powerful hydraulic clamp to remove a safe from inside an armoured G4S security van. Shocking footage shows the gang working against the clock to break the safe contained in the vehicle as its alarm rang out. Police are now investigating the incident, which took place earlier this month at the Reevesland Industrial Estate in Newport, South Wales. A source who sent the footage to MailOnline said that crew were using specialist equipment to blow the safe. He said: 'It's called a hydraulic power pack. Some of the lads have been stealing from the fire service. They are perfect for prising open a safe in a security van. 'They are known as the ''jaws of life'' and they generate huge power. Perfect for opening a safe or bank strong door.' At one point, shocked workers in a nearby office can be heard discussing the incident which they filmed on a mobile phone. The next clip showed the crew throwing the bundles of cash into large sacks, before they piled into a parked Audi. The blue car then sped off out of the yard. Gwent Police have now arrested three men in relation to the incident. 'Two men, aged 34 and 38, from Bristol were arrested on suspicion of robbery and have been released on police bail,' a spokesman said. 'A third man - a 33-year-old from Bristol - was also later arrested on suspicion of robbery and assault by beating of an emergency worker and released on police bail. 'Enquiries are ongoing and anyone with information is asked to submit via the Major Incident Public Portal.' G4S vans are used to deliver and collect cash from a range of businesses, including pubs, cafes and shops. In a previous release from 2016, the company said it transported £300billion of cash every year. Its vans are armoured and fitted with CCTV, satellite tracking technology and SmartWater, which can link perpetrators to specific cash stolen. Cash boxes also contain dispensers that stain cash with ink when triggered, rendering notes unusable. A spokesman for G4S declined to comment on an 'active police investigation.' A spokesman for Gwent Police told MailOnline: 'We received a report of a robbery from a cash in transit van parked near Caswell Way in the Reevesland Industrial Estate in Newport, at around 3.20pm on Monday 2 June. 'Two men, aged 34 and 38, from Bristol were arrested on suspicion of robbery and have been released on police bail. 'A third man - a 33-year-old from Bristol - was also later arrested on suspicion of robbery and assault by beating of an emergency worker and released on police bail. 'Enquiries are ongoing and anyone with information is asked to submit via the Major Incident Public Portal.'
