At SeQura, we believe that buying online should be as easy as it has always been in traditional commerce. One should try and touch the product he wants to buy before paying for it. This is how the free market has always worked. In this last decade we have seen how ecommerce has turned around this golden rule when it comes to buying. We think that's why many people still refuse buying online.

What we do is give shoppers tools with which they buy freely, without long processes, in more fair and transparent conditions, and without small print. The future of payment in ecommerce is in what is fair and transparent, in what is common sense.
