CEO and Co-Founder of Pebl – Elliot Cohen

By Elliot Cohen

With growing environmental concerns, businesses are increasingly looking for solutions that not only improve operations, easily, but offer sustainability solutions too.

Pebl, an Australian-owned and operated payment platform, has emerged as a frontrunner in the space, offering a solution that cuts down on e-waste while simplifying payments for small to medium enterprises (SMEs).

In the often challenging landscape where technology drives business operations, Pebl turns a smartphone into a fully functional payment terminal and eliminates the need for additional devices like dongles, card readers and terminals.

This also equates with a reduction in energy consumption; there’s no need for other devices to be charged, powered, or replaced, leading to decreased electricity use and costs. By using an already a necessary part of everyday operations, it offers a solution that benefits both the business and the environment.

SMEs can use Pebl’s app to accept payment on their existing mobile phones, with a simple signup process. This means fewer electronic devices in circulation and, ultimately, less e-waste in our landfills.

100% Paperless, Collaborative: Streamlining Transactions for SMEs

Another benefit is the elimination for managing time-consuming and often inefficient paperwork and invoicing admin. Pebl offers a 100% paperless solution that simplifies transactions for businesses, particularly for tradespeople and mobile service providers. Through its integration with Xero, businesses can create or pull up invoices within the Pebl app and have them paid instantly via text, email, or Tap to Pay, streamlining the payment process.

Auto-reconciliation with Xero further eliminates the need for manual bookkeeping, reducing stress and enabling businesses to focus on what they do best.

The app also allows multiple users to be attached to a single account, making it easy for businesses with teams to manage payments across different locations or staff members. This feature ensures that each user can accept payments through their own device, all while keeping transactions unified under one account for easy tracking and reporting.

The result? Faster payments, better cash flow, and a smaller carbon footprint.

Empowering SMEs Through Innovation – Setting the Standard

Beyond its environmental benefits, Pebl’s solution empowers a wide range of merchants; the platform’s inclusiveness is another key factor in its success. Whether it’s a small business operating at a market, a tradesperson providing mobile services, or a charity collecting donations, Pebl’s flexibility ensures that businesses of all sizes can benefit from its features.

Pebl’s innovative approach was recently recognized with the Most Impactful Payments Industry Innovation Award for its contribution to inclusiveness and sustainability. By allowing merchants to accept in-person payments via their own devices, Pebl has set a new standard by enabling a sustainable alternative to traditional payment systems, and become a trusted partner for SMEs looking to simplify payments.

Pebl’s commitment to sustainability goes hand in hand with its dedication to innovation. The platform’s mobile-first approach, paperless transactions, and energy-efficient design set a new standard for payment systems.

By reducing the need for external hardware while offering streamlined collaboration, cutting down on paper waste, and lowering energy consumption, Pebl is helping businesses reduce their environmental footprint while improving operational efficiency, and proving sustainability and tech innovation can work. With its user-friendly app and commitment to reducing e-waste, Pebl is leading the charge toward a greener, more sustainable future for Australia’s SMEs.
