Solving the £2 Billion Annual Lost Payments in Subscriptions

Did you know that in the UK consumers lose £2 Billion per year on unwanted subscriptions? Yes the ones that you join a trial and then forget about and boom! You get charged by surprise. This in turn creates financial stress, mainly to individuals, freelancers and small businesses. Even though it’s a big pain point, somehow it is still underserved. Till now!

Delphine takes us through her story on what inspired her to start ScribePay. ScribePay is a UK FinTech that allows consumers to track all their subscriptions in one place so that you are not caught off-guard when charged again! We go deep into what is the source of the problem - as simple as a distinction between subscriptions and recurring payment, how ScribePay brings control back to customers, and Delphine’s challenges fundraising as a woman of colour.
