What is sQuid?
A smarter way to pay
sQuid is a new kind of cash: smart cash. It can be used to pay for those everyday items, such as your morning coffee, your favourite magazine and your lunchtime sandwich. It saves you from fiddling with coins and helps you keep an eye on where your money is going.
Have I got the right change?
You’re paying for a packet of crisps or a chocolate bar. The cashier asks for 50p. You frantically search your trouser pockets but can only find a 20 pence piece and some bits of fluff from an old tissue. You’re pretty sure that you have the right change somewhere in your jacket, but the cashier has become impatient and is now holding out his hand. You’re forced to relinquish the crisp twenty pound note that you were saving for later. The cashier sighs, opens the till and gives you a handful of coins. By the next day, most of the coins have mysteriously vanished. And so the cycle repeats itself…
