Satispay mobile payment service

Satispay is a leading Italian financial technology company that has revolutionized the mobile payment landscape. Founded in 2013 by Alberto Dalmasso, Dario Brignone, and Samuele Pinta, the app provides a secure and independent payment network that bypasses traditional credit or debit card circuits, directly linking to the user's bank account (IBAN).

The brand originated in Cuneo, Italy, and maintains its primary operations in Milan. It has since expanded its footprint across Europe, establishing a significant presence in Germany, Luxembourg, and France. As an independent fintech unicorn, Satispay is backed by a diverse group of prominent international investors, including Addition, Greyhound Capital, Coatue, Lightrock, Block Inc. (formerly Square), Tencent, and Mediolanum.

While the company remains headquarters in Italy, its ownership structure includes a mix of the original founders and major global venture capital firms. This blend of Italian leadership and international institutional investment has allowed Satispay to become one of the most successful tech scale-ups to emerge from Italy, offering services ranging from peer-to-peer transfers and in-store payments to bill settlement and cashback rewards.
