THE PARTNERSHIP PICTURE

Connect the people.
Connect the places.

A proposed local network gives people a reason to receive value and a practical place to use it.

ETAP / A CONNECTED LOCAL NETWORKPARTNERSHIP CONCEPT
01 / FUND

Employers & programmes

Explore an agreed route for funding participating people’s wallets.

02 / RECEIVE

People & wallets

People receive value and choose how to use the available services.

03 / SPEND

Local merchants

Participating shops and venues give wallet value a place to be spent.

04 / RESTOCK

Suppliers & wholesalers

Explore a route for merchants to pay participating suppliers for stock.

One connected journey: funding → wallet → participating merchant → supplier.

This is a proposed partnership arrangement. Funding, acceptance, fees and settlement must be agreed with each participant.

Build a partnership around a real need.

Start with a defined group and useful nearby merchants. Agree the funding route, costs, settlement and support responsibilities. Test the full journey with willing participants, then use their feedback to guide a wider rollout.

WHERE YOU FIT

Different roles.
A shared opportunity.

EMPLOYERS & PROGRAMME OWNERS

Start with your people.

Explore a voluntary worker or benefit programme, with clear payment records and practical spending options nearby.

Bring HR, finance and operations into the discussion. Agree what the organisation needs to see and protect personal wallet activity.

MERCHANTS & VENUES

Give value somewhere to go.

Discuss acceptance at your shop, market stall, club or venue. Understand confirmation, settlement, refunds and the total cost.

A first programme should match participating outlets to the people receiving wallet value.

WHOLESALERS & DISTRIBUTORS

Connect everyday trade.

Explore introducing wallet acceptance to member stores or traders, with a separately agreed route for supplier payments.

Buying groups, franchise networks and suppliers can introduce participants. Each independent outlet still chooses and agrees its own participation.

PRODUCT & TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS

Make the next service useful.

Discuss prepaid products, bill-payment services, supported payouts, merchant systems or funded rewards.

We’ll scope the catalogue, compatibility, costs and responsibility for delivery, failures and customer support before making an offer.

Identify the participants, funding route, accepting merchants, fees and supported ways to access money.

02 / TEST

Prove the essentials.

Confirm payment, spending, refunds, recovery and settlement for the agreed setup, with named support responsibilities.

03 / LEARN

Expand on evidence.

Review completed payments, repeat use, total costs, settlement accuracy and participant feedback before growing.
