Built in Aotearoa
TURTLE-WAVE
Every wave creates an impact
What we're building
A small card reader for places that collect koha — so someone can give by tapping a card or a phone, the way they'd pay for anything else.
Fewer people carry cash every year, and the places that rely on it feel that first. This is for them.
The hardware isn't finalised, so we're not showing a picture of something that might not be what you get.
Who we're building it for
Churches
Sunday giving, without asking anyone to find cash first.Schools & kura
Fundraisers, galas, sausage sizzles, trips.Clubs & marae
Subs, working bees, koha at the gate.Markets & events
Stalls and stands, away from a counter.
Where this is up to
Turtle Wave isn't available yet, and nothing on this page is for sale. We're not taking orders, deposits or payments, and there's nothing to buy.
We're still building it, and there's regulatory work to finish before anything like this can be offered publicly in New Zealand. We'd rather say that plainly than dress it up.
What would genuinely help right now is knowing whether the places we built it for actually want it — and what they'd want it to do.
Tell us you'd want one
Takes a minute. We'll come back to you when there's something real to show — and we'll tell you if it never happens.
