Selling Perks
Payments

Money in, money out. Transparently.

A closed-loop wallet for your customers and a Faster Payments rail to your bank. We charge a small success fee on what redeems — and nothing on what doesn’t. No subscription, no surprises.

The Closed-Loop Wallet

Cheaper to move,
because it doesn’t leave the loop.

Inside Lovalty, money lives in a closed-loop wallet — customer to merchant, merchant to balance, balance to redemption — without touching the card networks at every hop. The result is a fee structure most merchants haven’t seen since pre-pandemic.

Customer card fees are ours, not yours. Internal transfers are free. The only fee on a Perk redemption is the small Lovalty success fee, and the only fee on a payout is the Faster Payments cost on the rail out (which we cover on the Pro plan).

The Money Flow

Four hops, all reconciled, all visible.

Every Perk sale and every payout is traceable end-to-end. Your dashboard, your accountant, and HMRC all see the same numbers.

  1. Customer pays in the app

    Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Lovalty balance, or BNPL on bundles over £50. The customer-side fees are ours — you never see a card surcharge on a Perk sale.

  2. Closed-loop credit lands on your balance

    Cash credits to your Lovalty merchant account in seconds. Because we run a closed loop, you’re not paying scheme fees on every internal transfer — only on the rails out to your bank.

  3. Payout to your bank

    Faster Payments to any UK bank, T+1 by default. Pro plan unlocks same-day. Schedule it daily, weekly, or hand it to your finance manager with view-only access from the dashboard.

  4. Disputes & protection

    We sit in the chargeback chain on your behalf. Fraud screening, dispute mediation, and reserve management all happen behind the scenes — most weeks you’ll never know we did anything at all.

Settlement, fast and predictable

Next-day payouts by default. Same-day on Pro.

Set your payout schedule once and forget it: every business day at 6am, every Monday, or on a fixed day of the month. Manual payouts available 24/7 from the dashboard if you need to true up before a supplier deadline.

Faster Payments to any UK bank are free on the Pro plan and £0.20 per payout otherwise. We don’t earn float on your cash sitting in our system, and we publish the exact settlement schedule so your finance manager doesn’t have to ask twice.

Pay only for success

No subscription. Just a small fee on redemption.

Lovalty earns when you do. We charge a small success fee — typically 8–10% — on the redeemed unit value of a Perk. Unredeemed Perks cost you nothing. Card processing is included. Fraud screening is included. Reconciliation tooling is included.

Plans are simple. Free is built for shops getting started, with access to the core acceptance flow, basic insights, and T+1 payouts. Pro adds same-day payouts, the full Insights & AI product, and dedicated migration support for multi-site brands.

Protections, in the background

Fraud, disputes, and reserves — handled.

A Perk is, in financial terms, a deferred-revenue obligation. We treat it that way: fraud screening on every purchase, automated chargeback evidence, transparent reserves on new merchants only, and an actual human on a phone when something gets weird.

Lovalty is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority as an EMD agent of a regulated EMI. Customer funds against unredeemed Perks are safeguarded in a segregated account in the customer’s name. The mechanics are dull on purpose — that’s the point.

Built for your accountant

A clean ledger, every month, in their format.

Monthly settlement statements, VAT-ready invoicing, a redemption-paced revenue ledger, and a one-click Xero / QuickBooks / FreeAgent / Sage push. Your accountant gets what they need; you stay out of the spreadsheet.

We expose every line of every transaction — purchase, redemption, refund, fee, payout, reserve — through both the dashboard and a machine-readable export. If the number is on the system, it’s in the export. We don’t hide it, round it, or aggregate it away.
