Navigating the Complexity of Payments
Our mission is to help businesses navigate the complexity of the payments ecosystem, equipping them with the insights and tools they need to make informed decisions and focus on what matters: running and growing their business.
Pay Scout® empowers merchants to compare the features, customer service, pricing, and overall benefits of leading payment providers. Make confident, informed decisions with clear side-by-side comparisons tailored to your business needs.
AI-Native Company
Built from the ground up as an AI-native company, we leverage advanced machine learning models to collect, analyse, and present payment provider information efficiently and accurately.
Independent & Unbiased
We maintain complete independence and do not give preference to any particular payment provider. Our comparisons are based purely on modelled assessments, objective data and analysis.
AI-Powered Data Collection
Our AI models continuously gather and analyse payment provider information, which can be supplemented by verified information from payment providers to ensure accuracy and completeness.
Risk & Security by Design
Security, compliance, data privacy, and regulatory obligations are built into our platform by design. We ensure all requirements relating to security, compliance, data privacy, and other regulatory obligations are seamlessly integrated into our solutions.
How it Works
Create a free account and use Pay Scout® to search through dozens of Payment Providers, or alternatively explain in natural language to our AI what you are looking for and our AI models will find the best options for you, which you can further validate.
Select the Payment Provider that best meets your needs and let us connect you with them to fast-track your onboarding.
Once you have completed the necessary onboarding processes with your chosen Payment Provider, you can start taking payments from customers and get paid.

The technical stuff
While the concept is simple—helping you find the right payment provider—the technology behind Pay Scout® is quite sophisticated. Here's how we make it work:
Defining Assessment Models
We've developed specialised models to assess different aspects of Payment Providers, including products, features, customer service, and more. Each model uses weighted scoring based on various factors that matter most to merchants. Think of it like having expert evaluators who know exactly what to look for and how to score each provider fairly.
AI-Powered Deep Research
Our AI Large Language Models (LLMs) continuously perform deep research across multiple sources. They analyse payment provider websites, customer reviews, regulatory filings, news articles, and many other sources to gather comprehensive information. This automated research happens 24/7, ensuring our data stays current and accurate.
Provider Verification & Transparency
Payment Providers can supplement our AI-collected information with verified details about their products and services. However, this information must go through our verification process to ensure accuracy. We encourage providers to publish this information publicly for transparency, which allows our AI models to automatically collect and validate it.
Independent Quality Assurance
To ensure the accuracy of our information, we perform independent assessments through mystery shopping and other verification activities. This helps us determine how accurate the publicly available information is about each Payment Provider and validates the data our AI models have collected.
The result is a comprehensive, continuously updated database that provides merchants with the most accurate and current information available to make informed decisions about their payment processing needs.
Other Services
Beyond our core Pay Scout® platform, we provide a range of specialised services designed to support both Merchants and Payment Providers in navigating the complex payments ecosystem that enable them to harness the power of payments.
