Kuapay is a defunct Santa Monica, California -based payment service provider that combined a digital wallet and mobile payments . The company developed one of the first foreign third-party payment apps to go live in China , and was reportedly the official mobile payments provider in Chile .[1]
History [ edit ]
The company was founded by Joaquín Ayuso de Pául, who previously created and sold Tuenti , a Spanish social networking site.
Kuapay's seed round collected $900,000, launching in 2011.[2] [3] [4]
By 2013, Kuapay was used by over 600 merchants in the United States .[5]
Availability [ edit ]
Kuapay was available both in the U.S. and internationally with significant merchant adoption in Santa Monica, California , New York City , Chile , Spain , Colombia , Panama , and the United Kingdom , with trials including franchises such as KFC , and Telepizza .[6] [7] [8]
Functionality [ edit ]
The Kuapay system allowed consumers to present a one-time QR code to a merchant, authorize a purchase, and receive a receipt. Credit card information was not transmitted in the QR code, increasing safety. The system also included location-based coupons and loyalty marketing .[2] [6] [9]
Offices [ edit ]
The company was based in Santa Monica, California with offices in New York City , Santiago, Chile , and Madrid, Spain .[10]
