If you have never accepted credit or debit cards before, we can help you to get started.

The first thing you will need is a merchant account, this is a financial contract that you will need with a merchant acquiring institution, ie. a bank. This provides your business with the facility to accept credit/debit card payments. The vast majority of merchant accounts in the UK are provided by the major UK high street banks, and we work with all the major ones.

We have much experience in assisting businesses in obtaining merchant accounts, and can often advise you of the best deal for your business. You do NOT have to obtain a merchant account from your usual bank, which makes it possible to shop around.

We also have preferential rates agreed with a UK acquiring bank - please read below for details.

Once you apply for our UPG online card processing service, we will contact at least one UK bank and obtain a quote for a merchant account. We will help guide you through the entire process, helping the application to move along as smoothly as possible and helping you avoid some of the usual pitfalls!
