    We Recover The Revenue Your Payment Gateway Writes Off

    Failed payments are killing subscription revenue — whether you're billing in the UK, US, or across Africa, LATAM, and the Middle East. Payment providers stop after a decline. We continue the recovery.

    OUR STORY

    Born From A Problem No One Else Was Willing To Solve

    Failed payments don't only happen in emerging markets. UK and US merchants lose an average of 8% of their MRR to failed payments every month — soft declines that get misread, retried at the wrong time, and abandoned. The revenue disappears quietly, written off as customer churn.

    The problem is even worse cross-border. When a UK or US merchant bills a customer in Nigeria, Brazil, or Saudi Arabia, the local gateway sends a highly localised decline code. By the time it reaches the merchant's payment account, it may have been stripped of context and grouped into a generic "Do Not Honour" bucket.

    RetainPay AI was built to fix both. Our founder Peter Kwakpovwe spent 15 years managing pan-African payment rails at Cellulant and Interswitch — giving us the metadata to decode what Western gateways cannot read. That expertise became our Decline Code Normalisation Database and Chrono-Retry engine: intelligent retry logic that works across UK, US, and emerging markets alike.

    Revenue you thought was gone — recovered

    UK and US merchants lose an average of 8% of MRR every month to failed payments. Cross-border merchants lose up to 30%. RetainPay AI recovers that revenue automatically, settling funds directly back into your payment provider account.

    Retain customers, not just payments

    A failed payment handled badly loses you the customer permanently. RetainPay AI recovers the charge silently and intelligently — so your subscriber never churns over a payment issue they didn't even know about.

    Works alongside your existing setup

    No ripping out your billing stack. No dev work. No procurement process. RetainPay AI plugs directly into your existing payment provider as an overlay — you keep everything you have, and we recover what's falling through the cracks.

    Pure performance model — zero risk

    We charge a 10% success fee only on revenue we actually recover. No monthly subscription, no setup cost, no minimum commitment. If we recover nothing, you pay nothing. Our incentives are completely aligned with yours.

    WHAT WE BELIEVE

    We Don't Get Paid Until You Get Paid

    Three principles behind every failed payment we recover — in the UK, US, and across Africa, LATAM, and the Middle East.

    01

    Zero Cost Until We Deliver Results

    Our pricing is tied directly to your recovered revenue. No retainers, no monthly fees, no setup invoices. You only pay a 10% success fee when funds settle back into your payment provider account — UK, US, or international.

    The Right Retry At The Right Moment

    Whether a UK merchant faces a domestic soft decline or a US platform is billing customers in Nigeria or Brazil — our Chrono-Retry engine maps payment liquidity patterns by market and fires at the exact micro-moment of highest approval probability.
