Okuru Gift Card App Our Story - Where Connection Meets Purpose

OKURU began with one simple idea:
That gifting should connect people - not create waste.

We help local businesses grow with digital gift cards, giving them another sales channel to bring in new customers.
🌏 Now Available in 5 Countries AU SG US CA NZ Physical gifts are often hard to send. Plastic gift cards are not environmentally friendly. So, we created OKURU - a name that means “to send” in Japanese - to make gifting simple, sustainable, and borderless. What started as a small idea

in Perth has now grown into a global digital gift card platform connecting small businesses and customers across countries. Today, OKURU helps local entrepreneurs in 7 countries sell eco-friendly digital gift cards among major brand names. We turn every gift card into an opportunity for growth - and every small business into part of something bigger.

💚 Our Mission
To empower small businesses with digital tools that make gifting greener, simpler, and more meaningful.

🌏 Our Culture

We believe in:
✨ Community over competition - because small businesses thrive together.
🌱 Sustainability in action - no plastic, no waste, just purpose.
🤝 Human connection first - technology should bring people closer, not apart.
🚀 Empowerment through innovation - giving small businesses big-brand tools, made simple.

💫 Join the Movement

Whether you are a local business, partner, or supporter of sustainable gifting - there’s a place for you in the OKURU community. Together, we are reimagining the way the world gives.

In case you missed it - Okuru now accepts Google Pay and Apple Pay in the Gift Card App.

But we wanted to take a moment to share why this matters to us, and to you.

When you send a gift card through Okuru, you're trusting us with something important - a moment you want to feel special. That's why we take security seriously at every step.

Here's what that looks like in practice:
• Google Pay and Apple Pay use tokenisation, meaning your real card details are never exposed
• Every transaction is protected by device authentication (Face ID, fingerprint, or PIN)
• Okuru never stores your payment credentials.

We are proud to be building a gifting platform that feels as safe as it is thoughtful.

If you haven't tried the new checkout yet, we'd love for you to.

🎄 PSA: Santa is not the only one visiting Aussie doorsteps this Christmas.

Australia Post has warned about "porch pirates" cruising around and helping themselves to parcels left at the front door. That is right, real life Grinches stealing Christmas gifts straight off the porch.

If your loved ones are interstate or overseas, there is a safer way to spoil them.
With the Okuru Gift Card App you can:
✅ Send a digital gift card straight to their phone
✅ Give them real choices, from big brands to local favourites in their own country
✅ Avoid stolen parcels, lost packages and “your item is delayed” messages
✅ Still add a heartfelt, personalised message

No porch. No parcel. No pirate. Just instant gifting they can use when they are ready.
Perfect for:
✨ Long distance families
✨ Last minute shoppers
✨ People who are done funding porch pirates this year

Give the gift of choice with Okuru and keep the Christmas magic for the people you love, not the thief on your street.

From humble beginnings at home to a brand-new salon, we couldn’t be prouder of our Okuru Partner, .andboujeehair

Founder Monique Tenae Norwood started with a simple dream - to help women feel beautiful and confident, even on their bad hair days.

Her passion and creativity turned that dream into a movement.

Today, .andboujeehair is about MORE than ponytails.

From her online store to the Perth Royal Show stalls, to the Westfield Carousel pop-up, and now to the Bad & Boujee Shop HQ, Monique’s mission remains the same - giving women hair that fits their life: quick installs, inclusive shades, and a premium look without the luxury markup.

We’ve watched her grow from home-based beginnings to this exciting new chapter - and we’re beyond proud to call her an Okuru Partner.

This Christmas, show your support for local businesses like Bad & Boujee Hair - send a Bad & Boujee Gift Card instantly through the Okuru App. Perfect for gifting confidence, style, and self-love.

Or pay her a visit at her Shop HQ at 64-66 Bannister Rd, Canning Vale WA 6155.
Bookings recommended.
