The best ideas sometimes come about by chance
Have you ever had a business idea come out of the blue?
That’s precisely how Toonie was born. In 2020, while on a business trip to the United States for other projects,entrepreneur Franco and his son had a stroke of inspiration. They needed a better way to explain a concept and this sparked an idea to create an application that could offer concrete and realistic examples.
The creative minds and entrepreneurial spirit of the father and son led to a tangible reality. Toonie, an app designed to empower local businesses and communities. Demonstrating how even the simplest ideas can be transformed into something extraordinary if you just believe in them enough.
What is Toonie?
An application that supports the needs of local communities, their people, and their economies, putting the heart of your community back at the centre of commerce.
Toonie also supports any public or non-profit activity that prioritises the well-being of the individual and the economy of their community.
In today's fast-paced society, many small businesses need help to adapt to the rapid changes the online shopping revolution brings. Technology has changed how we shop, and some businesses might feel left behind. Traditional shops face challenges as online shopping is famous for its convenience and speed. Toonie bridges that gap, making it easier than ever to run your business, reach new customers, and keep those cherished local values alive.
Toonie’s goal for local communities is to empower them: To simplify day-to-day operations for businesses, promote their products and services to a wider audience, attract new customers, and maintain the values and principles that define them without giving up their place in the market.

A SoftPOS, which includes a digital wallet to send and receive payments, a currency exchange and multi-currency wallets;
