Hands In

At Hands In, we’re revolutionizing the way payments are made—seamlessly, securely, and collaboratively. Our mission is simple: to reduce payment hurdles for merchants like declines due to insufficient funds and drive incremental revenue, all whilst creating a seamless customer experience and unique selling point for our customers.
 
By enabling split payments across multiple cards or for groups, we’re helping businesses unlock new opportunities to grow revenue and enhance the customer experience.
 
We’ve designed three groundbreaking features:
– Multi-Card Payments: Customers can easily split costs across multiple cards, allocating amounts and authorizing each payment in seconds.
 
– Group Payments: Whether it’s friends booking a trip or colleagues organizing an event, peers can join the same transaction and pay their share—no more chasing people down for reimbursement.
 
– Decline Recovery: Customers can split payments across multiple cards if their original payment method is declined due to insufficient funds. This flexible option allows a customer to retry two card transactions on decline, versus just one.
 

Lobster Money

Lobster Money is revolutionising financial services for the creator economy. Our platform provides digital entrepreneurs, creators, freelancers, and content-driven businesses with seamless financial infrastructure tailored to their unique income streams.
 
Unlike traditional banks that struggle to assess creator earnings, Lobster Money leverages alternative data from social media, digital platforms, and payment processors to legitimise their income, unlock financial products, and provide access to capital. As a B2B fintech, we recognise that creators are businesses and equip them with financial tools designed for growth, including invoicing solutions, seamless payouts, advance payments, and cash flow management.
 
One of the biggest challenges in the creator economy is revenue tracking and unpredictable cash flow, making it difficult for creators to plan and scale their businesses. Lobster Money solves this by allowing creators to connect all their platforms natively via API, providing a real-time dashboard that consolidates earnings across social media, streaming, and payment platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and Stripe. This enables creators to track their income, predict future cash flow, and access liquidity solutions like invoice financing and advance payments when needed.
 

Trudenty

Trudenty’s Consumer Trust Network is a privacy-preserving data-sharing network that delivers 360° consumer fraud risk intelligence, helping merchants, issuers, and acquirers collaborate to combat first-party fraud and push payment fraud. By enabling privacy-preserving data exchange across the commerce and payments ecosystem, Trudenty helps companies eliminate the visibility gap, allowing them to learn from each other to distinguish trusted consumers from fraudsters.
The network’s data is enriched with Open Banking and other third-party sources—such as identity networks and credit card alerts—to provide a holistic view of consumer behavior. Our machine learning algorithms transform this data into fraud risk signals, represented in the Consumer Trust Index, ensuring both confidentiality and privacy for all participants.
Trudenty’s business model reflects its network-first approach, with pricing tied to monthly active consumers, encouraging the use of Open Banking and open data throughout the consumer journey. This drives fraud prevention, enhances customer experiences with personalized journeys, and supports automation—especially in claims and disputes. Additionally, we collaborate with PSPs and card networks to enable scalable, privacy-preserving data sharing between merchants and issuers.
 
Our network to date is anchored by Worldline and Mastercard.
