The challenge

Before XPay, Ols Park's founder had evaluated almost every payment processor available, and rejected most of them. The blockers were consistent: providers that wouldn't accept freelance or self-employed customers, onboarding requirements that excluded smaller buyers, and rigid account types that didn't fit a software house working with both companies and individual clients.

The solution

Ols Park onboarded to XPay quickly, with the XPay sales team providing clear guidance throughout. The platform supports freelance and self-employed payers without forcing them through enterprise onboarding. XPay's account manager remains accessible whenever a technical issue arises.

The results

85% of Ols Park's revenue now flows through XPay. The business has reached larger clients than it could previously serve, and the team's reporting and reconciliation workload has dropped significantly since manual bank transfers are no longer the default.

Built for the long tail of businesses

Most payment providers optimise for the top end of the market: enterprises, registered businesses, and large transaction volumes. XPay's willingness to serve freelancers and SMBs is what unlocked the relationship with Ols Park.

"They're easy to work with, the platform is stable, and they actually support freelancers. That's rare in this space."
