Frequently asked

How the comparison works.

A few things to know before you switch.

  • We take each provider's published in-person and online transaction rates, weight them by the split you set, multiply by your monthly card volume, then add any monthly fee. Per-transaction fees (e.g. fixed cents per sale) are layered on using your average transaction size. Actual costs can vary based on card mix, international cards, chargebacks, and add-on fees.

  • Provider rates are reviewed monthly against each provider's public pricing page. Some providers (especially enterprise acquirers) negotiate custom pricing and may not publish a rate. Those providers show "Custom quote" instead of an estimate.

  • Yes. We earn a commission when you click through to a provider and sign up. This never affects the order of results. Providers are ranked by the cheapest option for the inputs you set, not by what we get paid.

  • Some providers, particularly for larger merchants, offer interchange-plus (IC++) pricing which can work out cheaper than flat rates. Providers showing "Custom quote" or "Interchange++" usually offer this. Contact them directly for a personalised rate and verify against the flat-rate alternative.

  • Most providers handle the onboarding for you: apply online, hardware ships within a few business days, and your existing terminal is returned to the previous provider. If you're mid-contract, check for early termination fees, often listed in the comparison table above.
