Samir Desai CBE reposted thisSamir Desai CBE reposted thisWe launched Super Payments in May this year. Over the past 6 months, we’ve seen fantastic growth across the business. As we look towards Christmas and the end of the year we want to share a few key highlights. We now have over 200,000 customers and we’ve saved UK businesses nearly £1M in payment fees! But we’re only getting started. We’re growing at a tremendous pace and we’re excited to welcome thousands of businesses to the Super network in 2024. If you’re an e-commerce business and are interested in a payment solution that reduces costs and fuels growth, watch the video below and get in touch.

Samir Desai CBE reposted thisSamir Desai CBE reposted thisSuper Payments powers free payments for businesses, and more rewarding shopping for members, so everyone wins. By eliminating the high fees on the internet charged by payments and digital advertising companies, with Super Payments, businesses can pass on these extra savings to customers. Raising £22.5m in one of the largest ever pre-seed funding rounds in Europe, they are backed by the same group of investors behind Facebook, Spotify, Stripe, Monzo, and X. In today's episode of The Entrepreneurs' Chat podcast, we are joined by Samir Desai CBE, founder and CEO of Super Payments, to walk us through the journey of reimagining the online shopping experience with a new way to pay and shop.

Samir Desai CBE shared thisAn amazing team and I have started a new business called Super Payments (trading as "Super"). I spoke to the Times about this today https://lnkd.in/dc_Ywvn3 We have raised £22.5 million from Accel, USV, Localglobe and angels to launch Super (thanks for believing in us!). We think that shoppers and businesses have been stung by huge fees on the internet for too long from payments and digital advertising companies. It is effectively a tax on the internet, we don’t like it and so we can change it together. We provide free online payments to businesses forever and instant cashback for shoppers. Super only make money if businesses increase sales and if shoppers save money - we are customer obsessed and completely aligned with you. By moving the profits of payments and advertising companies back to businesses and shoppers everyone wins. You can read more at: https://lnkd.in/dksV8Qt8 https://lnkd.in/dEYN48eR Join us.

Samir Desai CBE liked thisSamir Desai CBE liked thisIs the Checkout the Most Overlooked Growth Lever in E-Commerce? When we talk about e-commerce growth, the conversation often centers on traffic, product, and marketing. But what about the humble checkout page? The checkout experience is where all your hard work pays off or falls apart. It’s the moment of truth for conversion, trust, and customer satisfaction. A few things I’ve been thinking about: - How many carts are abandoned due to friction at checkout? - What role does payment choice play in customer loyalty? - How can we turn checkout from a “necessary evil” into a brand-building moment? I’d love to hear from others in the industry: What’s the most impactful change you’ve made to your checkout process? How are you balancing simplicity, security, and innovation at this critical step? Let’s share ideas and best practices drop your thoughts in the comments! #ecommerce #checkout #customerexperience #digitalgrowth #payments #customerloyalty

Samir Desai CBE liked thisSamir Desai CBE liked thisStripe has become a cash printing machine and secondary market investors are rewarding shareholders for it. Cory Weinberg at The Information put out a great piece yesterday highlighting Stripe's use of balance sheet cash to fund its next employee tender. Why is this news? Tenders are often funded by investors, not the company's cash. Startup adage is to preserve cash to accelerate the business. But Stripe is not a startup, clearly. What caught my eye was the free cash flow number: $615M in 1 quarter. More than their best public comp Adyen did the first 6mo. of the year! Shoutout to my colleague Rusty McDonough for running this analysis of Stripe & Adyen's stock price performance vs. profitability multiples. Stripe's private secondary market price has significantly outperformed Adyen's public stock price movement year-to-date. Private market investors are chasing Stripe in part due to the large swing to FCF positive. And Stripe is relatively attractive v. Adyen on purely an EV / FCF basis. What do you think? Is there more room to run for Stripe's valuation? This does not constitute financial advice. All Stripe financials are taken from The Information's reporting. https://lnkd.in/gACzqnEf #secondarymarket #preIPO #venturecapital #privatemarket

We always aim for more and better... but we are also proud of the work just done. Done just fine. My favourite part: "At the end of 2023, Funding Circle’s loans under management supported a £6.9 billion total contribution to UK GDP and sustained over 95,800 jobs. In addition to these core contributions, we also estimate that lending through the platform was associated with activity stimulating £1.6 billion in tax revenues."
