How to grow your payments app with immigration and visa advisers

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

Immigration and visa advisers help people apply for work, study, family and visitor visas, extend their stay and apply for citizenship. Many charge a fixed fee for each application, often split into a deposit and a final payment, and many of their clients or their families pay from another country. A payments app that sends payment links for deposits and stage payments and accepts cards and phone payments from abroad can win these advisers, and every client who pays sees your app.

Let families pay from abroad

Grow through translators and community groups

Advisers work with translators, solicitors and community groups who serve the same people. One adviser on your app can bring the businesses around them.
