The merchant account and payment industry in the UK has become very competitive and densely saturated in the last decade. You will have various companies offering card processing which will be linked to your bank account. If your business is deemed or constitutes a high risk business, i.e. gambling or travel industry, your merchant processing rates and set up fees relating to the merchant account will invariably differ compared to those standard card processing. Whilst this may seem unfair, high risk companies can carry a lot of risks when it comes to card processing, most notably charge backs and in this case is very much adhering to the merchant bank’s rules. When it comes to card processing and bank accounts, every business should be taken on face value and it’s important to remember that no two businesses are the same. When you get a quote from Wireless Terminal Solutions, we will provide a detailed quote based on the card processing and credit card terminal requirements tailored to your needs.
