I know there has been threads on this before. Just interested to hear what company you all use and how much it costs per month etc, basically what kind of deal you are getting. I am well and truly fed up of chasing money and I am hoping a card machine will be the answer and then people wont have an excuse for not paying at the time.
 
Using card save at £75 per quarter. 20p per debit and 1.5% credit. Using roaming sim, really handy
 
I have the Igenico IWL220. It costs £31 per month and debit card charge is 14p per transaction regardless of amount which I swallow. Credit card carries 2% or 2.8% business card which I add to the bill.
 
Heard screwfix are doing one £50 up front then 2.75% on transactions no line rental

You are allowed to I believe legally charge 1.99% 2% rounded(personal c/c) 2.79% 2.8% rounded for business charge these to customer BUT NO MORE. Please correct me if I am wrong.

The machine I have has a multi sim fitted 4 different networks I've seen O2, Vodafone and another I can't recall.
 
2.75% per transaction I use it for stuff under £500 servicing ect but pass the charge to customer
 
Not sure if all machines have multi sim. I opted for this type of card machine over the types that say plug into phone/iPad as I think they're more professional and I wouldn't be happy using my card in a mobile phone.
 
If your a member of Costco, they are doing a card machine a the moment which appears to be a good offer
 
I am not a member, do you have a link to the offer at all?
 
when i looked at this i found this
  • There is a monthly minimum service charge of £15 per month. This means if your processing charges fall below this threshold a balancing charge will be levied up to the value of £15.
  • Also you need to pay a£29.99 a year
  • must do the pci within 6 months or you get charged
 
i have just sat down and done the figures card save is £360 for the year.

costco 259.20 + 29.99 = £289.19
 
That Costco one looks ok, I take it if you want another terminal it's double the price?
Decisions decisions :)
 
id chappy let me sort something out with card save first and i find out.

2 machines one company ?
 
Mine is with First Data Merchant Solutions
