Company mission

To help merchants increase retention, keep and report on funds in their ecosystem, manage incentives, and lower payment costs.

Our take

Ansa is a fintech company specialising in developing branded virtual wallets for merchants. These closed-loop wallets, similar to the Starbucks balance or Uber Cash, allow businesses to manage payments, offer incentives, and enhance customer loyalty.

Basically, the platform provides the infrastructure for brands to design their own wallets that can integrate customer balances with rewards and loyalty initiatives. This is attractive because it can help to boost revenue and customer retention, which is what should attract potential clients.

In fact, Ansa claims that merchants have seen revenue increases of over 25% and customer retention rates improve by more than 50%. These are promising statistics and, with substantial venture capital raised, the company can invest in furthering its product and engineering capabilities, aiming to expand its market presence and drive growth.
