About us

Streeva Logo

Swiftaid is a solution created by Streeva; a fintech company on a mission to automate everyday processes by making transactions smarter.

At Streeva we are focused on building a range of exciting and valuable services that automate payment related tasks. Our purpose is to create a future where everyone has more time, is in full control of their data, and no one is left behind.

We are a fully remote ISO27001 certified fintech company behind the Swiftaid Gift Aid automation platform; Swiftaid is already helping charities to find the £564 million in unclaimed Gift Aid that would otherwise be lost. We are also embarking on a large proof of concept project for HMRC around tax automation.

David and Beth Michael, are both siblings and the co-founders of Streeva. With David’s aptitude for solving problems with technology, and Beth’s keen determination and energy, their collaborative effort has seen them winning awards and forging strong relationships within the fintech and charity industries. The team has since grown into a blend of personalities and talents, all working towards a future where payments do more good for people, starting with tax relief for charities.
