Merchant services tailored to your needs
Accepting payments is a simple process when the only form of payment is cash – things start to get a little more complicated when you add additional payment methods.
Card payments and online transfers have overtaken cash in almost all aspects of daily life. If you do not accept card payments, customers will go to a competitor who does.
The acceptance of major card payments is a key factor in the satisfaction of your customers and, as such, in the success of your business. But, in the world of credit card processing, one size does not fit all.

FAQs
What are the different ways I can take cards?
Card processing is highly versatile these days and it is possible to accept card payments in-store, online, over the phone and on the move.
Chip and PIN machines are used by millions of businesses around the world to process card payments in-store, with most retailers and restaurants installing these easy-to-use terminals next to their tills or cash registers. Another popular type of card machine is the portable terminal. This features Bluetooth or wireless technology which allows the unit to be used anywhere on your business premises. Mobile terminals, meanwhile, are perfect for businesses that need to take payments on the move. Thanks to cutting-edge GPRS technology, they are able to process transactions immediately from anywhere in the UK that has good phone coverage.

What is Barclay’s involvement in our company?
They are our partner for the processing element of the service.
Why take card payments?
There are a wide range of reasons as to why independent businesses must embrace card payment terminals. Quite simply, the move could help to ensure that you broaden your customer base, attracting a new audience by simplifying the transaction process. And by welcoming card payments, you can help to boost impulse buying, thereby ensuring that consumers spend more money, more often.
What’s more, owing to the fact that card terminals mean less cash and cheques to deposit, you’re likely to incur fewer bank fees. And if you’re worried about security, then you needn’t be. Once the necessary infrastructure is in place, you can receive authorisation that funds from card transactions are being sent directly to your bank account.
What costs are involved?
There are two types of costs involved with using a merchant account. Firstly, there will be a charge for the rental of the card payment machine which will be fully inclusive of any costs relating to the support and maintenance of the equipment. Secondly, you will be required to pay transaction charges relating to the actual card transactions processed on the terminal (or via your website). These charges will depend both on the type of card processed and the nature of business which you are running.
Rest assured that in relation to the above charges, our team will work with you to select the most appropriate and cost-effective solution for your needs.
