Peer To Peer

Payments go directly to the individual or business, removing the need for a bank or building society.

Always Available

Banks close at the end of the day and digital banking payments can be delayed. The Scotcoin network runs all day every day so your transactions are completed almost immediately.

Low To No Fees

Transaction fees are incredibly low compared to traditional online payments methods including Paypal, Western Union, Bank Transfers or Credit and Debit Card charges. However, if you are using our Scotscan system there are no fees.
