Comparison

Lloyds Cardnet vs Barclaycard

Two long-established UK acquirers, both frequently bundled with business banking. Pricing depends heavily on the relationship at the time of onboarding.

Pricing

Both offer Interchange Plus on larger accounts. Older accounts often sit on dated rates that no longer reflect the market.

Contracts

Both providers operate separate merchant and terminal contracts.

Suitability

The right fit is usually decided by the wider banking relationship more than the rate itself.
