Card payments
Card machines that cost what they should
Most shops we visit are paying more than they need to on card fees — not because the rate is high, but because of the extras: monthly fees, authorisation charges, PCI fees and machine rental that nobody explained. We find them and show you a cleaner setup.
Read line by line
We go through your actual statement, not a sales sheet, and show the true cost per month in pounds.
The right machine
Countertop, portable or a mobile one for deliveries — set up on your counter and tested before we leave.
Help after the sale
Machine stops working or the money is late? You call us, not a call centre, and we chase it for you.
What we look at first
- Monthly service and minimum charges
- Authorisation fees on every transaction
- PCI non-compliance fees (often avoidable)
- Machine rental compared with buying
- Business and premium card rates
- How quickly the money reaches your bank
Questions shop owners ask us
Do I have to change my bank?+
No. Payments go into your existing business bank account.
What if I'm still in a contract?+
We'll check your end date and any exit terms first, and tell you honestly whether moving now makes sense.
How long does a switch take?+
Usually one to two weeks from signing to the new machine working on your counter.
