Teya is a payment and software service provider, headquartered in London serving small, local businesses across Europe. Founded in 2019, we build easy to use, integrated tools that enable our members to accept payments and boost business performance.

We’re here to fight for a future where small, local businesses can thrive, and to commit the same dedication they offer all of us.
