Attenda mobility payments platform for multi-site payment estates

Built for mobility payments

About Us

We run payments for businesses that can’t afford to stop. 

Attenda is a mobility payments company built on more than 30 years of fuel industry experience. Our story began in Preston in 1995, helping forecourt operators manage complex environments and understand what their businesses needed to keep moving.

Since launching card services in 2004, we’ve developed deep fuel payments expertise and expanded into unattended payments across valeting, vending, parking and EV charging. Today, we support mobility and unattended retailers throughout the UK and Europe.

Our Mission

To keep businesses moving with payments that just work, backed by people who understand complexity. 

Payments Done Differently

We connect the payment ecosystem

No two operators are alike. We combine our own payment technology with the right acquiring, gateways, connectivity, hardware and support configured around the way your business works. That means you get the capabilities you need, without being forced into a rigid payment stack – all brought together through one relationship and a clearer view of what you’re paying for.

We know mobility and unattended retail

We specialise in payment environments where reliability is non-negotiable. Fuel forecourts, valeting, vending, parking and EV charging are always-on operations, where payments often rely on multiple partners working together. We understand that complexity, so we can help you build the right setup rather than sell you an off-the-shelf answer.

We support as much as you need us to

Some customers simply need acquiring. Others want us to coordinate gateways, devices and connectivity, while some prefer a fully managed payment service. Our model flexes around your operation, with real people behind it when you need support. Because the technology matters, but so does having a team that knows how it all fits together.

Our Approach

Attenda brings the right technology, partners and support together in one place to simplify payments for mobility and unattended retailers.  

Through our deep sector expertise, we build payment ecosystems around the way your operation works. Giving you greater visibility, less complexity and the flexibility to scale. 

 It’s a technology-led approach, backed by people who’ve spent thirty years in these environments.
