Costs involved in accepting card payments vary dependant on your specific requirements. Example of ‘typical’ costs for a Chip & PIN terminal-based solution are as follows:
Terminal hire. This covers the equipment you will need to have on site in order to process credit and debit card payments. The terminals offered include Chip & PIN functionality and can be static, Bluetooth portable, or mobile. Chamber Merchant Services rates are from £13.95 + VAT per month.
*Joining fees. These can differ dependant on your business but are FREE to chamber members signing up for a Chip and PIN terminal. A nominal fee of £50 is required for e-Commerce or Virtual Terminal accounts.
Minimum Monthly charge. Many providers have a minimum charge each month on transaction costs. This has been WAIVED for Chamber members.
Transaction Fees. You will be charged a small percentage of each transaction on Credit Cards and a flat rate charge for a debit card transaction. The rates for this vary depending on your total card turnover and Chamber Merchant Services offer preferential rates. In addition, authorisation fees on each transaction are waived.
