I'm looking for a good deal (hire or purchase of machine and fees) on the above from a supplier that can get me up and running quickly.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm currently with First Data but I'm not happy with their charges.

I tried Costco (Netpay) but they can't help because they use first data and I'm already a customer!

I went through all this last month and ended going with Barclays in the end purely down the fact I read some shocking reviews for a few of the other suppliers on a business forum.

I bank with Barclays business to and the money hit your bank a day quicker..

It's about risk, not about best rates.....see above link from just last week.

I'm in a low risk business. I want better rates. I'm paying around 2.9 percent for credit and 39p for debit.
Please let me know if you have any recommended suppliers.

You can't be that low risk. We're paying half that for credit cards and almost half that for debit cards on our PDQ m/c. E-commerce is only slightly more. We're with First Data.

You need to give more details to be able to recommend anyone and also to be able to assess risk. You may think it's low risk but your rates say otherwise:

>> • What is your annual card turnover
>> • Is it B2B or B2C
>> • Is it online, on the phone, in person? If more than 1, what's the percentage split.
>> • Do you use Virtual Terminals or PDQ machines?
>> • Does it need to integrate with a CRM?
>> • If online do you use a shopping cart e.g. Magento? If so which one?
>> • Are you PCI DSS compliant?
>> • What do you sell? E.g. is it high risk like furniture or travel, or low risk like restaurants?
>> • How many / how often / what value is your chargeback rate?
