Let’s face it: running a small business can be tough. You rely on payments to stay afloat, so the last thing you need is extra faff trying to take them. Whether you’re buying stock, looking to pay staff on time, or just keeping the place warm – we understand that you need your funds as cheaply and quickly as possible.
Traditional (and dated) card readers may be a payment staple these days, but they come with extra baggage, such as contracts, hidden fees and long waits for cash. But fear not; there are cardless alternatives!
Open banking can transform your payments and increase profits.
Open banking payment apps are cheaper than card machines. Fewer fees and no contracts.
Open banking payment apps are more convenient than card machines. Take payment without physical internet connections and from afar, thanks to QR codes and SMS options.
Open banking payment apps are more secure than card machines. Customer ID confirmed on the spot = no more chargeback fraud.
