Gap Finders: Marc-Alexander Christ from SumUp

Available for over a year

Today's Gap Finder interview is Marc-Alexander Christ from SumUp, the card readers and payment solutions for small businesses. SumUp was founded in 2012 and Marc-Alexander is one of the original founders. SumUp first developed a card reader that attached to a smartphone enabling small retailers to bypass the traditional, more expensive payment provider systems and allow their customers to pay by card. Since then they've developed their technology further and you might have recognised their small white cube card readers when paying for items in small shops, taxis and at markets. They have also now developed their own online payments service so small shops could launch their own websites. PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: LYDIA THOMAS AND CATHERINE EARLAM
