Pinch Payments the game changer, allowed me to now direct debit my clients on a monthly basis with little fuss. The team at pinch were more than happy to assist with the set up and demonstrating the functionality of the software. Certainly will be showing my clients the power of Pinch. – Laz
 

The dashboard allows me to see exactly what's happening at any point in time, and the email notifications are a welcome sight that payments are on the way! I use Xero in our business, which Pinch integrates with beautifully—invoices automatically get marked as paid and reconciling works perfectly. – Ben
 

Pinch is a game changer. We wanted to offer card payments either via a direct debit set-up or once off and on-charge the fees. Pinch makes this a breeze and clients love the ease of use. Once activated it shows your invoices in Xero nicely with a pay now button. Highly recommend! –Samuel
