Superspree has revealed the world’s first Digital Offering Plate, blending traditional craftsmanship with contactless technology to reimagine how congregations support their churches.
Created with the needs of modern faith communities in mind, the plate combines cutting-edge functionality with reverence for ritual, ensuring that innovation enhances — rather than disrupts — the worship experience.
At first sight, the design closely resembles a traditional offering vessel. Crafted from hand-lacquered brass and polished to a soft glow, it offers a perfectly balanced weight for ease of use. Its smaller plate variant features a striking octagonal ray inlay, drawing inspiration from centuries of Christian symbolism. Beneath its elegant exterior lies Superspree’s integrated contactless technology, allowing worshippers to make discreet donations with a simple tap of their mobile phone.
Early trials show the potential to transform generosity, with churches reporting donation levels up to three times higher compared with cash-based giving, highlighting the positive impact of uniting sacred traditions with modern tools.
Supporting Faith Communities in a Digital Era
Research and feedback from church leaders highlight the many benefits of introducing digital giving:
• Accessibility: Ensures inclusivity by accommodating those who no longer carry cash.
• Stability: Improves financial planning with recurring and spontaneous donations.
• Stewardship: Delivers valuable insights and simplifies administrative processes.
Unlike other digital solutions that focus purely on convenience, Superspree’s design approach celebrates beauty and symbolism. The Digital Offering Plate has been meticulously crafted to complement liturgical settings, with polished surfaces designed to catch stained-glass reflections and forms that integrate seamlessly into sacred environments.
“We set out to design something that could belong on an altar as naturally as in a bank,” said Laura Bond, Chief Executive of Superspree. “The Digital Offering Plate feels timeless, because it was built with the same care and reverence that communities bring to their rituals.”
The innovation draws upon insights from Superspree’s Global Development Programme, which studied the role of contactless giving across faith, education, heritage, and conservation sectors. The findings underscored that while technology enables participation, ritual, meaning, and symbolism remain vital for genuine engagement.
Now available worldwide, the Superspree Digital Offering Plate represents a new era for church giving — a beautifully designed vessel that bridges the gap between tradition and technology while inspiring generosity across communities.
