We are the digital charity box
Pennies gives your small change a big purpose – allowing you to donate a few pence to charity when you pay by card in shops, online and in apps. It’s your choice every time, with no pressure, and no follow up.

How it works
Retailers join
Give your customers the chance to make their pennies count for your chosen charity. We work closely with your payment provider to enable Pennies across multichannels, in-store, online, or app.
Customers donate
Customers are prompted by the card machine, website or app checkout to donate a few pence. It’s a yes or no choice, and neither Pennies nor the chosen charity receive any personal data.
Charities receive donations
Pennies collects and distributes the money digitally donated at the checkout. We make those pennies count for registered charities all across the UK, as chosen by the retailer.
Technology unlocks giving
Our payment and technology partners ensure retailers can enable the digital charity box, and across multi-channels. We are always keen to unlock more potential for UK charities.
