About us

Closed-loop payments, built by fintech and loyalty veterans

7Konto is not a startup with a slide deck. It's a working platform for closed-loop payments — offline at POS terminals, online via checkout widget, and embedded inside PSP gateways as a payment method. Built by the team behind 7stamp and 7loc, based on years of production experience running Wallet-based systems.

Our story

How we got here

Not a straight line. 30+ years of tech entrepreneurship, each product building on the last.

1994

Foundation years

Founder Maxim Ronshin starts building technology products. Over 30 years of continuous tech entrepreneurship follow.

2018-2021

inCust launched

Enterprise Customer Loyalty Management platform. Serving retailers across multiple markets. Foundation for the technology stack behind 7Konto today.

2022

7stamp launched

Wallet-based punch card loyalty. Proved the "no app" thesis works in production. Foundation for the QR-based Wallet flow used in 7konto.

2023

7loc launched

AI customer engagement across 7 channels. Proved that combining fintech with AI-driven customer intelligence creates unique value.

2024-2025

Closed-loop demand emerged

Increasing merchant requests for closed-loop capabilities: prepaid, gift cards, employee accounts. Existing solutions on the market required customer apps or new hardware — inadequate.

2026

7Konto launched

Purpose-built closed-loop payment platform. Deployable on existing POS terminals. No customer app required. Turnkey setup and free pilot with full onboarding support.

Our approach

Why 7Konto exists

Four principles shape everything we build and how we work with customers.

01

The "no app" thesis

Consumer apps have 60-80% enrollment abandonment. Even if merchants build them, customers don't install them. Apple Wallet and Google Wallet are already on every phone. We build for the phone the customer already has.

02

Working with what merchants already have

Merchants have hundreds of dollars invested in POS terminals — replacing them is a non-starter. And they have existing checkouts online via a PSP — asking them to rebuild is worse. So we integrate three ways: on the existing POS, via a checkout widget on the merchant's site, or embedded directly inside the PSP's gateway as a native payment method. Zero merchant migration required.

03

Fast, not complex

Enterprise closed-loop platforms take 6-12 months to deploy. Merchants can't wait that long, and small businesses can't afford enterprise deployment. We deliver production in days for direct merchants, and 6-8 weeks to pilot for PSP partners.

04

Free pilot, real support

Most "free trials" leave merchants figuring things out themselves. We do the setup, training, and onboarding for free. If it doesn't work for your business, you owe nothing.

The team

Who's behind 7Konto

Small team, direct communication, no bureaucracy. Founder-led at every touchpoint.
