TotilPay Payment Technology
TotilPay is a payment technology that enables farmers, markets, and retailers to seamlessly accept SNAP, WIC, and other electronic benefits. With mobile and register-based solutions, TotilPay simplifies transactions, expands food access, and supports businesses in serving their communities.
State and Community Organizations Support
State and community organizations play a crucial role in expanding SNAP access. By collaborating with local markets, retailers, and agencies, we help streamline the adoption of EBT technology, support outreach efforts, and provide vital resources to increase participation in nutrition assistance programs. Through FFAB initiatives, states and communities can ensure more families have access to fresh, healthy food while strengthening local food systems.
Our team has helped develop the first and only app to accept SNAP, WIC, OTC benefits, and credit/debit on mobile devices, a means to accept nutrition incentive programs electronically, and have also built an app enhancement for nutrition program benefits such as the Farmers Market Nutrition Programs (FMNP). We also provide technical assistance across this spectrum. We work with a wide variety of stakeholders from the federal to the local and value continued learning and making new connections.
We are constantly striving to improve our effectiveness and efficiency. Have an idea for us or want to see if we can assist you and your program(s)? Get in touch and we are happy to discuss your particular situation further.
