Introducing Repegs: A New Community Engagement + Payment App

ENCINITAS, Calif. - Aug. 9, 2024 - PRLog -- Today marks the official US debut of Repegs, a new community engagement and payment platform where locals unlock exclusive offers while supporting the neighborhood businesses they love. Combining the convenience of mobile payments with the power of community support, Repegs has created an app with a trifecta of benefits for local users, merchants, and nonprofits.

User Benefits:

• Access exclusive offers at participating local businesses
• Enjoy a seamless and secure payment experience with digital wallet
• Support local merchants with a percentage of transactions benefiting local charities

Merchant Benefits:

• Communicate offers, promos, and events directly with vetted local customers through the app
• Lower transaction fees compared to traditional payment methods
• Gain community support

Charity Benefits:

• Receive income from a portion transaction savings as donations thru a 5% community fee
• Raise awareness about their cause through the Repegs app
• Engage with the community in new and meaningful ways

"Repegs is more than just a digital wallet; it's a platform designed to strengthen local economies and build stronger communities. Energized by our proven concept in Australia with Pegs, we are excited about debuting Repegs in North County, San Diego and the positive impact it will have on locals, merchants, and charities alike," says Adam Russell, Founder of Repegs (USA) / Pegs (Australia).

How It Works:

1. Download the Repegs app from the App Store or Google Play
2. Link your preferred payment method–credit card or bank account verified by Stripe
3. Browse and unlock exclusive offers at participating local businesses
4. Make purchases and automatically donate to local charities with a percentage of transactions

The app will be launching with a handful of North County local favorites including Encinitas' Coffee Coffee, Corner Pizza, Four Moons Spa, Haggo's Tacos, Baker + Olive and Waverly, along with Oceanside's Privateer and Buccaneer Cafe to name a few.

About Repegs:

Repegs is a community engagement and payment platform designed to empower communities by connecting users, local businesses, and charities. Our mission is to create a healthier, more connected local economy through innovative technology and community-driven initiatives.

Founded in 2020 in Byron Bay, Australia, a region where seasonal tourism and close-knit locals had formed a dual economy, Repegs was initially conceived as a locals' discount card. Repegs (called Pegs in Australia) was adopted around the country, as word spread amongst business owners about the open channel of communication with their customers. Entrepreneur and Repegs / Pegs founder Adam Russell quickly evolved the program into a block-chain supported, digital wallet and social engagement platform to better expand the idea to more communities throughout Australia.
