Just who or what is Myndy?

Myndy is the new wishlist and digital gift voucher system designed to make it easy for you to create a wishlist exclusively of small, local, independent businesses, services and trades. Myndy has grown out of a project funded by Innovate UK  as part of the government’s rapid response to the Covid-19 pandemic.  Our goal is to make it simpler for us all, as consumers, to support our local, independent high street businesses. 

As a Lister you can make Wishlists of your favourite local businesses to share with friends and family.  Then your friends and family (the Gifters) can ‘buy local’ from anywhere in the UK (coming soon).  Initially we are piloting in our home town of Leamington Spa, along with neighborouging Warwick and Kenilworth. 

When you buy a voucher through Myndy the money you spend goes directly to the local business via Stripe (a super secure global payment gateway that sits behind big names such as Deliveroo, Salesforce, Spotify and Amazon).  Gift vouchers are easily exchanged in store using the Myndy app.  It’s a no set-up cost, low transaction fee system, that helps local independent businesses compete with global online giants.  Instead of an Amazon wishlist, why not a Myndy wishlist – for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, new arrivals, friends, family or colleagues.  Or you can use Myndy just to let people know which your favourite local high street businesses are.

Myndy is being developed by a small team of local creatives and developers based in Leamington Spa in Warwickshire.  We want to keep buying and spending locally to ensure all of our favourite businesses make it through these extra tough times.
