Since launching in late 2021, ArtsPay – Australia’s first for-purpose payment fintech company – has just surpassed $1 billion in processed payments. It is clearly reshaping the way we pay for things and – in turn – is a great disrupter to our reliance on conventional art funding streams.
What does that mean for Australian businesses and the arts? It means that there is a viable option out there for Australian businesses that is a win-win – with low interest fees for them and a spin-off benefit of supporting artists.
