CreatePay and Zempler Bank Partner to Support UK SME Growth

Small businesses are the backbone of the UK economy, and giving them access to the right financial tools is essential for growth. That’s why CreatePay is proud to announce a new partnership with Zempler Bank, bringing together modern payment solutions and accessible business banking to better support SMEs across the UK.

Launched in late February, the partnership brings together two companies focused on making financial services simpler, faster, and more accessible for growing businesses.

By combining CreatePay’s payment technology with Zempler’s easy-to-open business banking accounts, UK SMEs can access a more seamless financial ecosystem designed to help them manage payments, customers, and everyday operations more efficiently.

Supporting SMEs with Simpler Financial Tools

Running a business requires juggling multiple financial systems - from taking card payments to managing bank accounts and cash flow. This partnership aims to simplify that experience.

CreatePay helps businesses accept payments quickly and reliably with solutions designed specifically for SMEs, including the CreatePay One card machine and the CreatePay Touch EPOS designed to sit on your handheld card machine.

At the same time, Zempler provides business banking built for modern entrepreneurs, offering fast onboarding and easy-to-manage accounts designed to help businesses move money quickly and efficiently.

Together, both companies share a common goal: helping UK SMEs operate with less friction and more confidence.

Built for the UK’s Entrepreneurial Community

Both CreatePay and Zempler are focused on supporting the thousands of small and medium-sized businesses that drive innovation and employment across the UK.

By working together, the two companies aim to provide SMEs with practical financial tools that remove barriers and help businesses focus on what matters most: serving customers and growing sustainably.

Leadership Perspective

“Our mission has always been to make payments simple and accessible for small businesses,” said Stephen Wells, Chief Executive Officer of CreatePay.

“Partnering with Zempler allows us to support UK SMEs with a broader ecosystem of financial tools that help them operate more efficiently and scale with confidence.”

Nick Biggam, Commercial Director at Zempler Bank, added: "CreatePay's focus on smart, simple financial solutions makes them a natural partner for Zempler. This new partnership enables us to enhance their payment solutions with a banking service that saves time and money for small businesses in sectors, such as hospitality and retail, who are facing challenging market conditions."

Helping SMEs Focus on Growth

As SMEs continue to navigate an evolving economic landscape, access to simple, reliable financial services is more important than ever.
Through this partnership, CreatePay and Zempler are committed to supporting UK businesses with the tools they need to accept payments, manage finances, and grow with confidence.
