How to grow your payments app with funeral directors

By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

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

When someone dies, the family often shares the cost of the funeral, and relatives may be spread across towns or countries. Funeral directors then chase several people for payment at a painful time. A payments app that lets each relative pay their share by link can make things easier for everyone, and every family member who pays sees your app.

Let each relative pay their share

One payment link per family, shared by message, lets each relative pay what they agreed and lets the funeral director see who has paid.
