Wediate Expands to the United Kingdom

3 min read

Wediate Is Now Live in the United Kingdom

We are proud to announce that Wediate has officially launched in the United Kingdom. After years of helping Australian contractors and homeowners protect their project payments through milestone-based holding accounts, we are bringing the same trusted service to the UK construction market.

Why the UK?

The UK construction industry faces many of the same challenges we have been solving in Australia — late payments, cash flow uncertainty, and a lack of trust between parties on large building projects. UK builders and tradespeople deserve the same level of payment protection that Australian contractors have come to rely on through Wediate.

What This Means for Our Australian Clients

Nothing changes for our Australian operations. Wediate continues to offer the same milestone-based holding accounts, Commonwealth Bank partnerships, dual approval process, and Simpro/Xero integrations that our Australian clients know and trust.

For Australian contractors who also operate in the UK or work with UK-based partners, our UK service provides a familiar payment protection framework on both sides of the world.

UK Service Highlights

Our UK offering mirrors the core principles of the Australian service, adapted for the UK market:

  • GBP holding accounts with UK Sort Code and Account Number
  • 1.5% fee inclusive of VAT — no hidden charges
  • Milestone-based releases tied to project stages
  • Dual approval process for maximum security
  • Xero integration for UK accounting workflows
  • Governed by England and Wales law with full UK GDPR compliance

Learn More

Visit our UK homepage at wediate.co.uk/uk/home to learn more about the service, or read the full announcement on the UK site. If you are an Australian contractor with UK operations, contact us at support@wediate.com.au and we will help you get set up.
