Built for Kent's producers.

Farmers, growers, bakers, brewers and artisan producers work on tight margins. Payment technology needs to be simple, reliable and affordable, wherever they sell.

Lopay helps KFMA members keep more of every sale through:

01

Lower card fees

One of the UK's lowest processing rates, starting from just 0.79% - more of every sale stays with the stallholder.

02

Get paid your way

Flexible payouts, including instant access to takings so producers can restock and cover market fees straight away.

03

Lower fees through business spend

Use the Lopay Zero Card on stock, packaging and fuel to turn everyday spending into lower payment fees.

04

Ready wherever you pitch up

Take payments at the market, farm gate or pop-up event - with or without signal, on phone or card reader.

Helping Producers save more

Most Producers are paying too much in card fees.

For a producer processing £100,000 per year across their markets, switching to Lopay could save around £900 every year compared with a provider charging around 1.69%.
