PonchoPay aims to change the way parents pay for childcare and access the government funding they're entitled to.
Hundreds of millions of pounds of government support available to parents is going unspent each year due to poor awareness, clunky processes and a low adoption of technology. PonchoPay is making it easy for any source of funding to be aggregated at point of checkout, saving parents money and saving childcare providers a significant amount of time in the process.
Using Poncho Pay's intelligent automation engine, our vision is for parents to be able to quickly access and use this funding across all childcare providers that are registered to receive them nationwide.
As we build our prominent role in the payment journey, PonchoPay will be well positioned to offer additional services in future to parents and childcare providers alike. Growth capital and insurance solutions for childcare providers, Buy Now Pay Later for parents and AI-powered booking curation tools are a handful of additional revenue sources that we plan to explore in the future.
