The Founder Story
The idea for Better Payment was born back in 2008, at a time when the term FinTech was not a familiar concept to many companies.
Our founder, Björn Bähre, noticed at that time that there were no sufficiently flexible and comprehensive payment solutions available to meet the increasing demand in the market. Almost all prevailing technologies were not very adaptable - especially when it came to individual and innovative ways of payment. In the following years, the plan was born to create a solution that offers comprehensive payment and is flexible enough to meet all payment requirements - Better Payment. In 2013 the GmbH was founded with exactly this goal.
Today, the Better Payment Germany GmbH distinguishes itself from other payment providers through highly developed in-house products Made in Germany, personalized services and our white label solution.
Since 2019, the Collecting Payment Provider Better Financial Services GmbH also belongs to the Better Payment Group.
