Payment Terminals for UK businesses
Overview

A better deal on payment terminals

Card processing is one of the easiest costs for a UK business to overpay on — and one of the hardest to compare. Headline rates hide monthly fees, authorisation charges, PCI costs and long tie-ins. We do the maths at your real card turnover so you can see the true cost per provider, side by side.

Whether you run a café, a salon, a retail shop or a mobile trade, we match you with the right terminal — countertop, portable or mobile — and negotiate pricing our buying power unlocks. You deal with the provider directly; we make sure the deal in front of you is genuinely the best one.

The benefits

  • Transparent total cost

    We show the all-in annual cost at your volume, not just the flashy headline rate.

  • Independent comparison

FAQs

Payment Terminals: your questions answered

How much could I realistically save?
Many businesses save 20–40% versus flat-rate providers once negotiated acquirer pricing is applied at their real card volume. We show you the exact figures before you commit to anything.
Do I have to change my bank?
No. Your card processing and your business bank account are separate. You keep banking wherever you like.
What if I am tied into a contract?
We review your current agreement, flag any exit fees or notice periods, and let you know whether switching still saves you money — often it does.
Is there a cost for your help?
No. Our comparison and switching service is free to you. We are paid a referral fee by providers, which never affects the rate you are offered.
