Why we do it

To help businesses win and retain recurring payment customers.

What we do

A platform that intelligently processes recurring payments.

How we do it

By optimising every aspect of the recurring payment lifecycle.

Our story

Built for recurring. From day one.

Co-Founded in 2016 by Greg Cox, Acquired began with a singular focus: making card payments work harder for financial services businesses.

A decade on, we’ve broadened that focus into recurring commerce  — covering both financial services and subscription businesses, across cards, open banking, direct debit and payouts on a single API.

Small enough to move fast. Specialist enough to take on the giants.
