Impact

Where your fees actually go

Half of everything SaltyPay earns goes back to the events, organizations, and causes that make Salt Spring what it is.

The 50% promise

Not a gimmick. The whole point.

This isn't a round-up-at-checkout scheme or a year-end donation. Half of our actual processing revenue goes directly to Salt Spring non-profits and community events, every year.

It's written into how the business works. Every tap, dip, and swipe at a SaltyPay merchant turns into funding for the island. That's why SaltyPay exists.

The island your fees give back to

The concerts, the arts, the trails, the food bank, the festivals. This is the Salt Spring your customers' payments help keep going.
