We believe in product simplicity, creating designs and systems that are simple to navigate. Simplicity guarantees the greatest levels of user acceptance and engagement.
We aim to be faster than cash. Not just when it comes to accepting the tip, but also when paying out the tips to your hard working employees. For a majority of American workers, what used to be living ‘paycheck to paycheck’ is now living ‘day to day’. With normal biweekly payroll cycles, workers often run short of money which may cause financial anxiety and the need to seek jobs that offer faster payout options like gig working.
While convenience and ease are expected by consumers, unfortunately so is fraudulent activity and phishing scams. At merci-buku, we strive to provide ‘trust in transaction’ for everyone that interacts with our system, beginning with the QR codes and payment links.
