Turning VAT Refunds into VAT Rewards
We are building the first truly disruptive app to remove friction from the tax-free shopping system.
We lean on 27 years of industry experience to put the tourist at the center of the tax-free shopping experience; ensuring they receive more of what they deserve and creating a joyful shopping experience abroad.
We started our business in 2016, creating a cross-border rewards technology. We realized that a VAT refund is an incentive provided by governments to promote tourism - a reward!
We want to reward you for every tax-free experience, with any refund operator, across 50 countries.
