Does Ripples make money?
Yes, just enough to provide the service!
Roundups Fundraising Services Ltd is a Social Enterprise. We have a social impact mission that is legally written into the structure of our company. Ripples involves complicated technology and we do have costs to cover. 5% of all user donations currently go towards sustaining the Ripples platform. This covers unavoidable expenses like payment processing fees, app maintenance, staff and promotional activity which, in turn, helps to build the community and facilitate even more penny donations!
We plan to reduce the 5% admin fee as our user base increases
Security & privacy
Bank level security
We work within the Open Banking Regulations and with major FinTechs to ensure that your banking and personal information is always safe and secure. Find out more about how we are regulated and how we use Open Banking APIs here.
Data privacy
We do not store or share your data with any third party. Your transaction data is not accessible by anyone but you. Our technology only reads the transaction data in order to calculate the roundup figure to debit.
