What we do
We compare card payment providers and match businesses to the cheapest option available to us for how they take payments. We're a broker, not a card payment provider. We don't process payments or hold your money.
Using the calculator and asking for a quote is free and puts you under no obligation.
Estimates are not quotes
The calculator gives an estimate. It uses the takings and average sale you enter, an assumed split of 90% debit and 10% credit cards, and prices checked on the date shown next to the results. Your real costs depend on your actual card mix, your business type and each provider's own checks, so your written quote may be higher or lower than the estimate.
Competitor prices come from each provider's own published UK pricing page. They're shown so you can compare. We're not connected with those providers, and their names and trademarks belong to them. Prices can change without notice. If you spot one that's out of date, please tell us.
Your contract is with the provider
If you decide to switch, you sign a contract with the card payment provider, not with us. That provider's own terms and pricing apply, and they decide whether to accept your application. Read their agreement before you sign, including the contract length and any exit fees.
How we're paid
Providers pay us a commission when a business we introduce signs up with them. You don't pay us anything. We explain more on how we make money.
Our guides
Our guides are general information about card payments in the UK. They are not legal, financial or tax advice, and they may not cover your situation. Check anything important with a qualified adviser or with your provider.
