3C Payment, a Global payment Service provider, and Pennies, a fintech charity, have announced a partnership to offer cashless donations on 3C Payment terminal solutions to provide an easy and convenient way to increase charity donations in the UK & Ireland, and make a greater impact to those in need.
3C Payment has integrated Pennies’ digital charity box technology into their 3C Integra payment application so that Hospitality, Food & Beverage & Retail merchants can give their customers the option to add a Pennies micro-donation to their purchases. Merchants can nominate their chosen charity to benefit from donations, and the option to donate is presented on the payment terminal where the cardholder can then pay by EMV CHIP & PIN or Contactless.
3C Payment’s client Drake & Morgan are the first to use Pennies donations with 3C Pay@Bar and Pay@Table solutions across their selected London locations. Customers have the opportunity to add a 50p donation to their bill with the funds currently going towards Drake & Morgan’s long-term charity partner Maggie’s, who’s cancer centres across the UK provide invaluable support to people with cancer and their families.
Craig Borrett, Chief Product Officer of 3C Payment says,
“3C Payment is proud to partner with Pennies to unlock millions of pounds for charity, and demonstrate the potential for financial technology to be a force for social good. We are confident many of our clients across the UK & Ireland will be interested to adopt the technology, and the feedback so far from clients indicates an exciting future for digital charity donations.”
Paul Seaman, Head of Business Development & Product at Pennies says,
“Pennies is delighted to be working with 3C Payment to give more merchants access to our digital charity box solution. At a time where charities need greater support, and businesses are looking to make a meaningful difference for their customers, colleagues and communities, 3C Payment and Pennies are offering a secure, accessible and impactful way for people to donate to charity.”
