Parpera - par / pa: / pera / ˈpɪərə / Latin noun, translates to "fair wallet"
Parpera makes it easy for people to do business so they can focus more on what they love most.
We're a high-growth community and venture backed Australian fintech that's building an ecosystem of fair and transparent products and services to help people set up, manage, and grow their business in today's digital economy.
Founded in April 2020, we've raised AUD2.7m in equity funding and have assembled a global high-performing and experienced team across Sydney and Melbourne to deliver on our mission.
In October 2021, we launched our Parpera App, which grew to serve hundreds of Australian businesses, providing access to a digital bank account, business debit card, invoicing, payments, cash flow, and tax management capabilities, all in the one app, and empowering them to focus more on what matters most.
Sadly, on 29 June 2022, we had to temporarily pause the set up of new accounts, due to the closure of our partner bank, Volt (read more).
We’re working on an alternative banking partner and hope to relaunch and serve you very soon.
You can download our App to join our waitlist and receive regular updates on our relaunch at get.parpera.com/app
Behind every business is a person. We interviewed and surveyed over 1,000 business owners, freelancers, and entrepreneurs to better understand the challenges they face and identify how we can build a better solution to help them set up, manage, and grow their businesses.
