Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Novopay.uk is a legitimate UK-based merchant services provider (ISO) with verifiable positive feedback (~200 Trustpilot reviews). However, the submission contains significant inaccuracies, such as the unrelated project name 'StarForge', the hyperbolic claim that 'most people have used my product', and vague metrics. While the underlying business is functional and useful for UK SMEs, the submission's lack of credible data, potential confusion with the Indian fintech 'Novopay', and exaggerated reach claims result in a low Proof of Usefulness score.
