Moments when you have to put your card in someone else’s hand.
Ready in three steps
You set it up once. After that, it’s a few taps.
Step 1
Add your card
The card number and expiry date are all it takes.
Step 2
Add who goes to the till
When you’re side by side, scan their code. Once is enough.
Step 3
Set your rule
Pick the limit, the store and the time. Their phone is shown at the till; the payment goes through on your card.
Your card never ends up in anyone’s hands
Your card details stay locked. The person at the till never sees the card number; the payment is completed only at the till, in that moment.
- Locked on your phoneIt’s locked the moment you add it.
- Nobody sees the card numberNot the person at the till, not Parasana.
- Paid at the till, in that momentIf it fits your rule, the payment goes through on your card.
Parasana never sees your card number and never holds your money.
Whoever goes to the till

Let your store take payments with Parasana
The payment goes through your card terminal like a normal card payment, and a receipt is issued. We’re starting with pilot stores first.
Soon: see how it looks at the till
We’re making a short intro video. We’ll let you know when it’s ready.
Frequently asked questions
Is my card given to the person at the till?
No. Your card number never shows on their phone. The shopping is done with your card, under your rules.
Does Parasana hold my money?
No. You don’t load money into Parasana. At the till, the payment goes from your card straight to the store.
Which cards can I add?
You can add a credit card or a debit card.
Do I need to change a setting at my bank?
Your card needs to be enabled for online and phone purchases. At most banks you can turn this on in the card settings of the banking app.
What if someone tries it somewhere that breaks my rule?
The payment doesn’t go through, and you get a notification right away.
Can I stop it whenever I want?
Yes. One tap stops it; from then on, no payment goes through. You can raise the limit from the same screen.
What if the person at the till loses their phone?
You stop it in the app; no payment can be made with that phone. You add them again on the new phone.
Does it work in every store?
Not yet. The store’s card terminal needs to support Parasana. We’re starting with pilot stores first.
Which phones will it work on?
iOS first. The Android version will come later.
How much does it cost?
We haven’t announced pricing yet. People on the waitlist will hear first.
