Independent UK card payment reviews
Why we exist
Card payments are complicated. Checking your deal should not be.
Card Payment Connect gives UK businesses a simpler way to understand their current payment arrangement, compare suitable options and decide what is worth doing next.
Experience behind the service
More than 10 years in UK merchant services.
The reason for Card Payment Connect
Make the market easier to understand—and easier to act on.
Merchant pricing can be spread across transaction rates, authorisation charges, terminal rental, account fees and separate contract terms. Comparing one headline percentage with another can miss what the business really pays.
Card Payment Connect was built as both a practical comparison service and a learning centre. Businesses can understand the industry, make sense of their costs and get human help when they want it.
The result is simple: we do the legwork, explain what we find and leave the decision with you.
Our principles
Trust comes from being clear about the process.
A useful recommendation
The answer can be to stay, renegotiate or compare. Switching is not treated as the default.
You stay in control
No provider is contacted and no information is shared without your permission.
How we are paid
Free to the business. Transparent from the start.
There is no charge for the initial review. If a provider in our selected UK network looks like a better fit and you choose to proceed, that provider may pay Card Payment Connect a referral fee.
We do not claim to compare every provider in the UK market. We may recommend that you stay with your current arrangement, and we never contact a provider without your permission.
- No review fee
