Company

We are building the part of the internet that was left out.

The internet learned how to move information anywhere, instantly, in any size. Money never learned the same trick. Haypenny exists to close that gap.

What we believe

The internet is made of small things, and small things deserve small prices.
Paying should be a behaviour, not a process.
The people who make something valuable should be able to be paid directly for it.
Infrastructure earns trust by being clear, not by being loud.

Trust and regulation

Where is the money?: Reader balances are held in safeguarded accounts at a regulated institution, separate from Haypenny's own funds.
Who controls it?: You do. Balances are spendable by you alone and redeemable at any time.
How is it protected?: Funds are segregated and reconciled continuously, and balances are recoverable if you lose a device.
What information does Haypenny see?: The minimum needed to settle a payment. Haypenny does not build a reading history or sell data.
How do publishers redeem?: Accrued reader revenue is paid out on a regular cycle to a verified bank account, in full.
How are publishers verified?: Identity and ownership of the domain are checked before a publisher can receive funds.
Who handles regulated functions?: Regulated activity is carried out by licensed partners; Haypenny provides the payment layer around it.

Publishers, developers and partners are welcome. Tell us what you would price, and we will tell you how quickly it can be live.
