How to grow your payments app with wheelie bin cleaners

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

Wheelie bin cleaners follow the bin collection round, washing and sanitising bins with a van-mounted pressure washer straight after they are emptied. Most customers pay a small fee every few weeks, and the round only works if lots of homes on the same streets sign up. Collecting many small payments, often from people who are out at work, is the hard part. A payments app that signs customers up to a regular payment with one link and takes one-off cleans by tap or link can win these businesses, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Sign customers up to regular payments

A sign-up link on a leaflet or a street's community group lets customers join the round and pay automatically each time, with nothing to chase.
