Backed by

One client payment. Every contributor paid.

Petl turns scattered project work into client-ready bills, contributor allocations, and approval-ready payment runs. Collect from clients with Pay by Bank links, settle through supported rails, and keep every invoice, bill, approval, and payout record synced in one place.

200+ UK and EU banks. Settlement in under two minutes. A live MCP and API.

Built for AI-assisted finance ops

Let AI handle
the admin. You approve the money movement

Petl exposes core finance actions through MCP and API, so you or your AI agent can raise invoices, generate Pay by Bank links, check balances, and prepare payouts in plain language. The workflow can run from one chat thread, while every payout still requires human approval.

There's no new finance chatbot to learn and no extra app for your team to adopt. Petl works through Claude, ChatGPT, WhatsApp, and Slack, so project teams can create, query, and approve finance actions from the tools they already use. Contractors can stay on WhatsApp. Operators can stay in Claude. Petl keeps the records synced.

For project owners

Bill, approve, and pay every contractor from one project view or chat.

Contractors and freelancers log work and submit bills from chat. Petl consolidates everything into one project view, so you can create projects, invite people, review bills, pull invoices, and approve payments without chasing spreadsheets or messages.

Chat is the interface. The dashboard is the source of truth.

Everything created, queried, or paid from any chat lands in one consolidated view: every project, bill, invoice, and payment, wherever you and your workers are. Run it from chat, or open the dashboard for the full picture. Same Petl, both surfaces, always in sync.

Contractors and freelancers

Get paid without the chase.

Log time, submit bills, and get paid from the tools you already use: ChatGPT, Claude, WhatsApp, or Slack. Petl turns the work into a clean invoice and pays you through the right rail, whether that is bank transfer, open banking, or stablecoin.

And it's not just billing. Ask "what am I owed?" or "what did I earn this month?" in WhatsApp or Claude and get a straight answer. Your finances, queryable from your pocket, no app to download.

What changes when you switch

Six things you stop doing.

Teams move to Petl to delete work, not add a tool to the stack.

01

Building invoices by hand.

Petl assembles every invoice from work logged across every channel. You review and approve. You never type line items.

02

Chasing timesheets.

Logging takes seconds, in the chat your team already uses. No new app, nothing to install, nothing to remind anyone about.

03

Running payouts one transfer at a time.

One Pay All approval settles your whole team across stablecoin and Petl wallets. Bank payouts settle near instantly over open banking. And for off-platform pay runs, export a BACS file straight from the project.

04

Reconciling across tabs.

Every settlement, channel, and currency lands against the right project automatically, exportable straight to your accountant.

05

Guessing at tax set-asides.

Every contributor sees a tax estimate on each invoice. They know what to put away, you know your numbers are right.

06

Waiting days for cross-border.

USDC off-ramps settle to local bank accounts in seconds, across eight local currencies.

We remove the admin between work, getting paid, and paying contributors.

Most tools stop at the invoice or the transaction. Petl connects both - so when the work is done and the client pays, every contractor, subcontractor, and freelancer involved gets settled. No manual splits. No reconciliation headache at the end of the month.

Pay anyone, anywhere, however works for them.

Bank transfer, open banking, or stablecoin wallet - Petl routes the payment the right way automatically. Instant bank-to-bank across the UK and EU. Local rails into South Africa and LatAm. USDC for cross-border settlement without the SWIFT delays and fees. Your contractors get paid fast. You don't have to think about how.

Compliance built in. Not bolted on.

Every payment through Petl runs on regulated infrastructure - KYC and KYB verified, with a full audit trail at the project level. CIS deduction, MTD-ready reporting, and cross-border compliance handled. You stay clean without having to think about it.

Work changed. Payments should too.

Projects are won and lost, teams spin up and wrap up, and no two jobs involve the same people. Petl is built for exactly that - a payment workflow that flexes with your team, not one that assumes everyone's on the same payroll.

Know exactly where every project stands, financially.

Every invoice raised, every payment received, every contractor settled - tracked at the project level in one place. No end-of-month reconciliation. No digging through bank statements. Just a clean record of what happened, ready when you need it.

FAQs

Everything you need to know about using Petl Pay to manage billable work, invoices, and payments across contractors, subcontractors, freelancers, or vendors on projects.

What is Petl Pay?

Petl Pay is a project invoicing and payments platform for teams that work with contractors, subcontractors, freelancers, agencies, and vendors.

It turns billable work into invoices, payment links, contributor allocations, approval-ready pay runs, and payout records. Teams can create projects, raise bills, query finances, and initiate payments from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Slack, or WhatsApp, while Petl remains the source of truth for every project, invoice, approval, and payment record.

Petl Pay supports multi-party invoicing, Pay by Bank collection, open banking payments, stablecoin settlement where supported, and project-level financial records.

Who is Petl Pay for?

Petl Pay is built for project-based teams that need to manage client billing and contributor payments in one workflow.

This includes agencies, micro-agencies, contractors, subcontractors, freelancers, studios, consultants, and businesses working with flexible teams across multiple currencies or countries.

It is especially useful when one client project involves several contributors, separate bills, different payment preferences, or cross-border settlement.

How does Petl Pay handle multi-party payments?

Petl Pay helps teams manage projects where one client payment relates to multiple contributors.

It can consolidate contributor bills into one client-facing invoice or payment request, then prepare contributor allocations, approvals, payment workflows, and payout records from the same project view.

Supported stablecoin and wallet-based flows can be used for split settlement where available. Open banking payments can be initiated from chat and used for approved bank payment workflows, while open banking split settlement depends on the supported rail and workflow.

Do I need to change banks or open a new wallet?

No. You do not need to change banks to use Petl Pay.

Petl supports workflows using existing bank accounts, Pay by Bank links, open banking payments, and supported wallet-based rails. Contributors can use bank accounts or supported wallets depending on the payment method, country, and corridor.

Wallet-based flows can enable fast wallet-to-wallet or stablecoin settlement where supported.

What problem does Petl solve?

Petl Pay removes the admin between finishing the work, billing the client, and paying the people involved.

Most tools stop at either the invoice or the payment. Petl connects both. It helps teams consolidate billable work, create client-facing invoices or payment links, prepare contributor allocations, initiate approved payments, and keep every record tied back to the project.

That means fewer spreadsheets, fewer manual payment notes, and less month-end reconciliation.

Can I use Petl Pay from ChatGPT, Claude, Slack, or WhatsApp?

Yes. Petl Pay is built for chat-native finance workflows.

You can use Petl through supported chat tools to create projects, raise invoices, generate payment links, query balances, review bills, prepare pay runs, and initiate supported payments.

Petl also exposes core finance actions through MCP and API, so people and AI agents can prepare finance actions in plain language. Money movement still requires the right approval and verification step.

Does Petl Pay support cross-border payments?

Yes. Petl Pay supports cross-border payment workflows through supported fiat rails, open banking where available, and stablecoin settlement where supported.

Teams can use Petl to create invoices, collect payments, prepare contributor allocations, initiate supported payments, and keep payout records tied to the project across multiple currencies and countries.

Stablecoin rails can help reduce reliance on slower international bank transfers on supported corridors. Bank settlement times depend on the payment rail, provider, destination country, and user verification status.

Is Petl Pay secure and compliant?

Petl Pay is designed with secure, approval-based payment workflows and project-level financial records.

Petl works with compliant payment infrastructure, KYC/KYB checks where required, and audit trails for bills, invoices, approvals, payments, and payouts.

For eligible UK workflows, Petl can support contractor tax records, CIS-related workflows, MTD-ready records, and cleaner reporting across contractors and subcontractors. Compliance support depends on the workflow, country, payment rail, provider, and verification status.

What currencies, payment rails and corridors does Petl Pay support?

Petl Pay supports project payment workflows across supported fiat and stablecoin rails, including GBP, EUR, USD, ZAR, and USDC where available.

Teams and contractors can use Pay by Bank links, open banking payments, local bank rails, and supported stablecoin wallets depending on the user, currency, country, and payment provider. Over 200 banks supported across the UK and EU.

Petl Pay is designed for teams working across the UK, EU, South Africa, Latin America, and other supported corridors. Availability depends on user verification, provider coverage, and local payment requirements.
