Overview
Teya is a European payments and financial-services technology company that provides card machines, business accounts, online payment tools, and merchant funding products to local, in-person businesses. The company was founded in 2019 and traded for several years as SaltPay before rebranding to Teya in 2023, and it now serves more than 75,000 businesses across nine European markets.
The company is built around merchants rather than around any single product: its core lines are physical and tap-to-pay card acceptance (including Tap to Pay on iPhone), a business current account with a debit card and wallet, online payment tools such as hosted checkout and pay-by-link, and merchant financing (cash advance and fixed-fee credit lines) arranged through partners including YouLend, Liberis and iwoca. Teya is regulated in the UK and the EEA, with Teya Solutions Ltd. authorised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority under the Electronic Money Regulations 2011.
In August 2026, Teya was accepted into the UK Financial Conduct Authority's Scale-up Unit, a program the regulator runs for high-growth firms — a milestone the company tied to roughly 1,500 employees across 10 European offices and a long-term goal of serving one million local businesses globally.
Private securities are speculative, illiquid, and involve risk of complete loss of principal. You should be prepared to hold private securities for an extended period; there is no assurance of a secondary market, an IPO, or other liquidity event. You are fully responsible for conducting your own due diligence. Pricing is indicative — nothing here is an offer of securities.
