MuchBetter is a safe and reliable way to manage your money with your mobile phone. You can top up your account, send money to friends and family for free, and confirm transactions – all from your phone.
In late 2017, MIR Limited UK Ltd started an online payment service that was aimed at younger users who preferred to use smartphone payment apps and wallets over physical cards and cash.
This service was christened MuchBetter, and it had a focus on the global gaming market – an industry that revolves around online payments.
The move was a success. Over the next three years, the product was launched in 185 countries, had increased its staff from four to 70 members, and partnered with 50 businesses, including West Ham United FC.
It also picked up several awards along the way, including the Rising Star at the 2018 EGR awards and Best Digital Payments Programme at The Cards and Payments awards the following year.
Today, the MuchBetter app is compatible with top providers such as Apple Pay, Google Pay and Mastercard, and is localized according to currency and language, and is verified by the UK’s FCA – an independent regulator.
