We compare the card machine and POS providers we work with, then give you one clear recommendation, in writing. Already on a good deal? We’ll say so.
Three questions.
One clear answer.
A call within the hour, weekdays.
We’re paid by the provider, not by you.
If you take up a provider’s machine or system and meet their conditions, that provider pays us a commission. You pay us nothing, not even for the recommendation. The provider sells to you directly, and your contract is with them.
Commission can differ between providers, so we show our reasoning in writing. You’re never obliged to take it, and you can always go to a provider directly.
A card rate that is half a percent lower sounds like nothing. On card sales of £20,000 a month it’s worth £100 a month, or £1,200 a year. That’s before rental, PCI (a card security fee) and other fees. Try your own numbers.
For example, a card rate of 1.75% falling to 1.25% is 0.5% lower.
£100 a month
£1,200 a yearThat’s what a 0.5% lower rate is worth on those sales. Simple arithmetic, not a quote.

Your counter, your tables and your delivery van don’t need the same thing. We match each part of your business with the right option, all in one clear recommendation.
Counter, tables, deliveries, a market stall or online. We recommend a card machine or POS system for each job.
A counter machine, a handheld, a full POS system. We match the right one to each, and tell you if one provider covers them all.
Each business gets its own section in the recommendation, or one shared deal where that works better.
Our team of experts and sales specialists link you with the best options for each part of your business.
Get a free recommendationYou tell us about your business. We do the rest, and you decide at the end. The provider takes over only if you say yes. If they change something that affects your deal later, we’ll tell you.
Typical documents: ID, proof of address, bank details. The provider confirms the list.
Every provider sets out its rates, rental terms and contract rules differently, so they are hard to compare. You get the comparison done and the reasoning shown.
Already have a machine or system? We’ll tell you if staying put is the better deal.
