Accettate Satispay?

Pronunciation

'Satispay' — sa-tis-PAY. Italian pronunciation approximates the English.

When to use it

Ask in Italian shops, restaurants, and bars whether they accept Italy's own mobile payment app. Satispay has grown enormously in Italy and is now accepted at hundreds of thousands of merchants.

What it means

Satispay is an Italian mobile payment platform founded in 2013. It works via a smartphone app, is linked to a bank account (not a card), and has no transaction fees for consumers. It is particularly popular in Italy because it does not require a card — just a phone and a bank account.
