How we got here
Dojo started with a simple belief: independent businesses deserve a better way to take payments.
In 2009, our Founders set out to build that experience, launching Paymentsense. As we grew to serve 85,000 customers, we kept listening to what businesses needed next.
That focus led to a new, product-led brand built around the experience economy: Dojo.
The Dojo story
2009
Our Founders set out to build a better payments experience for small businesses, and the idea for the business is born.
2010
With a tiny office, a lot of hard work, and two determined Founders, we win our first customer and go live. Paymentsense is officially operational.
2012 - 2015
We grow our teams and footprint, opening hubs in Belfast and Hull, and creating more space to build, collaborate, and scale.
2020
We embark on a journey to be the most trusted payments provider for independent businesses with the launch of Dojo, our new brand. We also officially open our Bristol office.
2021
As part of the rebrand to Dojo, we set our sights on the experience economy. We also become the only payments provider with a 5-star Trustpilot score and an industry-leading NPS of 56+.
2022
We expand the Dojo ecosystem, bringing WalkUp into the fold – a virtual bookings app making it easy to book the best restaurants in the area.
2023
We open our Dublin and Madrid offices. After months of hard work, we receive our licence from the Central Bank of Ireland, opening the door for Dojo to expand across Europe.
2024
In just nine months, we launch Dojo in three new countries: Ireland, Spain, and Italy. We also move to a new office in Bristol and open new ones in Milan, and Barcelona, all while debuting a refreshed Dojo brand.
2025
A year of non-stop momentum: we launch a new mission for in-person commerce, roll out tools like Dojo Intelligence, Sidekick and more and secure a landmark $190M investment.
2026
Our momentum shows no signs of slowing down as we continue growing across Europe and building what’s next. Join us to shape the future of the experience economy.
