Built specifically for fintechs.
We've built for fintech teams that want a rewards layer that is a real engagement driver, with a managed approach that removes developer bottlenecks and reduces time to customer adoption. Community-focused institutions can also explore our approach to rewards for community banks and credit unions.
Three reasons most fintechs don't have a rewards layer yet.
You know you need one. The board's asking about engagement. Your competitors are shipping similar features. Here's why it stays on the roadmap.
Engineering capacity is already committed to payments, compliance and the core product. Building and maintaining merchant integrations, fraud controls and fulfilment competes directly with that roadmap.
Enterprise loyalty platforms charge five-figure monthly contracts on annual commitments, built for Tesco Clubcard scale, not for a Series B fintech. Self-serve APIs hand you the integration but leave you running merchant relationships, fraud, and operations yourself.
DAU/MAU plateaus after the initial growth surge. Activation drops 30 days post-signup. Transaction frequency flattens. The board asks why retention curves aren't moving and you've already used the obvious acquisition-side levers.
Rewards that improve
commercial outcomes
We deliver the full end-to-end rewards platform in one hour. The integrations, the merchant relationships, day-to-day operations, all handled. You watch the metrics that matter shift.
Activation that actually sticks
Rewards give customers a reason to come back beyond first-load. Repeat-visit frequency lifts, 30-day activation curves move, DAU/MAU shifts in the right direction.
A new revenue line from your existing book
Merchant commission share creates revenue from customers you've already acquired. The rewards programme that retains your users also generates income while doing it.
Retention that costs less than acquisition
A rewards layer rewards loyalty at a fraction of paid acquisition cost. Same customer base, more transactions, lower churn, without burning more performance marketing budget.
Anonymised data architecture
We use anonymised data architecture, documented data flows for your regulatory review. Merchant relationships, fraud rules, fulfilment, operational support, all handled.
Built around
how your team works.
Some fintechs want the whole rewards experience turnkey, branded as theirs. Others want to keep their UX and integrate Spendstream behind the scenes. We support both, same merchant network & same managed operations.

Use transaction insight to make the account more valuable.
Where the appropriate regulated provider and customer consent are in place, AIS data can identify real spending categories through an anonymised data architecture without moving money.
Fintech teams can use those signals to present relevant merchant-funded rewards, strengthen primary-account behaviour and create more reasons for customers to transact.
Personalised rewards, not generic cashback.
Targeted offer serving
Customers see offers from brands they actually shop at, not generic 'cashback at 100 retailers'. Higher relevance, higher engagement, higher commission yield.
Customer insight
Transaction patterns reveal what your customers care about beyond their interaction with your product. Useful for personalisation across your entire customer experience.
Anonymised by design
AIS data is processed in an anonymised architecture. Customer behaviour informs offer serving without exposing PII to your compliance review.

Three reasons fintechs
choose us.
Built for fintech operational reality
Anonymised data architecture. Documented data flows ready for your compliance team's review. Designed from day one for the operational and regulatory environment fintechs actually live in, not retrofitted from a general rewards platform.
Merchant operations outside your product backlog
Most rewards platforms hand you an API and wish you luck. Spendstream is built around managed delivery, merchant relationships, fraud rules, integrations, fulfilment, day-to-day optimisation. Your developers stay focused on payments, compliance, core product.
A Tillo Trusted Partner
Tillo is the category-leading gift card infrastructure provider in the UK fintech space. We work in deep partnership: Tillo runs the world-class gift card layer; Spendstream runs the managed programme on top. Two specialists with complementary roles.
I’ve spent 20 years building rewards businesses. I started Spendstream because every fintech company I talked to was running into the same gap — rewards infrastructure built for enterprise budgets, not for the mid-market businesses who need it most. We’re closing that gap.
