Questions

Which card machine is right for my business?

It depends on how you sell. Countertop machines suit a fixed till, portable machines suit table service, and mobile machines suit markets, deliveries and trades. If you also sell online, payment links or an online checkout may help. We'll talk it through and compare options from established providers.

How quickly will I get paid?

It depends on the provider and the plan. Next-day settlement may be available depending on provider. We'll tell you what each option offers before you choose.

Can you check whether I'm paying too much?

Yes. Send us your latest merchant statement and we'll review the transaction fees, monthly charges and terminal costs, then compare them with other options. If your current setup is already a good fit, we'll say so.

Will a new card machine work with my till or EPOS?

Many card machines can link to popular EPOS systems, but not all combinations work. Tell us what you use and we'll check compatibility before you commit.

How do you get paid for merchant services?

We don't charge you a separate fee. We may receive a commission or referral fee from the payment provider we arrange for you. We'll tell you about this before you agree to anything.
