How to grow your payments app with basement conversion specialists

  1. Your card appears in your app
  2. Tap it to pay in a shop
  3. See every payment as it happens

Basement conversion specialists turn damp, unused cellars into living space: bedrooms, playrooms, gyms, offices and cinema rooms. The work takes weeks, so most jobs start with a deposit and move through stage payments as the waterproofing, structure and finishing are done. A payments app that handles deposits and stage payments can win basement specialists, and every homeowner who pays them sees your app.
