MuchBetter, a privately owned company founded in 2017 and headquartered in the UK, provides an app-based digital wallet. The company, employing approximately 110 people as of 2023, facilitates e-payment processing and management for both consumers and businesses globally. Its revenue in 2023 was less than $100 million. While described as an "enterprise cloud" product, this likely refers to the underlying technology supporting its payment platform rather than a distinct software-as-a-service offering.
