Willie Wyse, a long-standing taxi driver in Cork, Ireland, has agreed to use the Sum Up App to accept card payments, resolving his dispute with the PSV licensing authority. Mr Wyse had previously refused to accept card payments due to his distrust in financial institutions.

READ MORE - Fiancee of murdered Irishman Damien Conlon brands killer father 'a coward' and calls for justice At the September hearing Judge Mary Dorgan asked Mr Wyse what would happen if he won the lottery and he replied that he would have a "very happy wife" as the funds would go into her bank account.
He said that in 42 years of driving, he had never had a summons imposed against him. Mr Wyse still doesn’t trust banks or have a bank account. However, he has found a novel way of staying compliant with the taxi regulations. Mr Wyse said that he knew he needed to set up the Sum Up system in his taxi as "the law is the law and I can’t go against it."
"If I won the Lotto it would have to go to her bank account. But to be honest, after 48 years I prefer to have her than any Lotto win."
