Card payments continue to be on the rise and customers’ expectations are changing. In 2017, 34.6 billion payments were made on cards by UK consumers.
Nearly 85% of consumer payments were a spontaneous purchase, rather than a regular standing payment, like bills for example.
With key developments in technology changing the way people pay; such as smartphones, online banking and contactless payments, now is the perfect time for businesses to start taking advantage of accepting cards.
Are mobile card payments secure?
You’ll be able to accept credit cards and debit cards safely and securely when using a mobile card payment machine.
All our payment machines are compliant with the latest PCI DSS security standards.
For Chip & PIN transactions, your customers will need to verify the transaction using their PIN code. This allows the machine to automatically run security checks to ensure the cardholders details are correct and help prevent card fraud.
Contactless payments are capped at £30 per transaction to help avoid large payments being made.
For any business that accepts card payments, you’ll need to be PCI DSS compliant. PCI DSS compliance is the standard requirement to help prevent card payment fraud, and by being compliant, it ensures your business has the minimum level of card data security.

We have a dedicated PCI team who will be able to hand hold you through the process and help get you set up to accept safe and secure payments.

How much does a mobile card reader cost?
The costs for card readers depends on a number of factors, including what type of business you own, your business turnover and the type of card machine you choose.
You can expect to pay a monthly rental fee for your card machine as well as a merchant service charge (transaction fee) and authorisation fee (acquirer charge).
Your processing charges will be dependent on the types of card payments you take, for example, debit cards may have a different transaction fee to credit cards.
If you don’t meet the agreed fee, a minimum monthly service charge will apply instead. To ensure you’re PCI DSS compliant, you’ll also need to pay PCI DSS compliance fees.
