MishiPay

MishiPay is a London-based retail technology company that has built one of the world's most widely deployed mobile and kiosk self-checkout platforms. Founded in 2015 by Mustafa Khanwala and Tanvi Bhardwaj, the company was born from a frustration with slow checkout queues and has since transformed into a comprehensive omnichannel POS platform serving enterprise retailers across 18+ countries in grocery, fashion, travel, convenience, and experiential retail.

The MishiPay platform encompasses Scan, Pay and Go mobile checkout, RFID-powered self-checkout kiosks, mPOS terminals, and a suite of loyalty and personalisation tools. The modular architecture allows retailers to deploy the checkout solutions they need without replacing their existing infrastructure. By December 2024, more than 2% of the UK population had used MishiPay to check out in-store, and the company has since expanded into the Middle East with live deployments at Dubai International Airport.

MishiPay has raised $17.2 million across six funding rounds, including a Series A led by American Express Ventures and Nauta Capital. Key retail partners include MUJI, Decathlon, Flying Tiger Copenhagen, and Carter's. The platform has been deployed in 1,471+ retail locations worldwide, with transaction volumes growing over 250% in a single year.
