PayUp: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)
Waiting until the end of the month to get paid is a thing of the past. PayUp gives you access to the money you're working hard for as you earn it, putting you back in control of your money. The monthly pay check simply isn’t working for millions of people across the UK. No control of your earnings and poor spending habits on payday both lead to high interest credit cards or dipping into overdrafts just to make ends meet. What if we could break this monthly cycle and give the power back to the employee through instant access to their earnings? This is what PayUp hopes to achieve.
PayUp has raised $100k across 1 funding round on record, the most recent an Angel of $100k announced in Feb 2022.
That round is below the $14M median round size for Financial Services companies tracked on FundedIQ over the last two years.

About FundedIQ's PayUp Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for PayUp is left off this page rather than filled in.
