Independent UK card payment reviews
Is your Dojo deal still earning its place?
We review your Dojo statement, rates, account fees, terminals and contract terms to work out what the arrangement is really costing your business—and whether it still fits the way you trade.
Independent review. No obligation to switch. We never contact Dojo without your permission.
Provider pricing and terms vary by business and can change. Published details are linked to official sources where available; the figures that matter are the ones on your own statement, quote and signed agreement.
What we check on a Dojo arrangement
Dojo (Paymentsense's flagship brand) has grown rapidly in the UK, particularly within hospitality, retail and personal services. The proposition centres on a modern card machine, next-business-day settlement and a simple sign-up process.
Pricing is typically presented as a single blended rate. While this is easy to understand, it does not always reveal the true effective rate paid across the full mix of card types and transaction values.
- Blended transaction rateA single percentage applied to all card types.
- Terminal rentalMonthly hire for the Dojo Go card machine.
- Authorisation feePer-transaction charge, where applicable.
- Optional add-onsSuch as Dojo Pocket, virtual terminal or booking integrations.
Contract, terminals, payment channels and settlement considerations
- Merchant agreements are commonly offered on multi-year terms.
- Terminal hire is typically aligned to the merchant agreement length.
- Pricing reviews after onboarding are not automatic - rates may stay fixed for the full contract.
- Early termination fees may apply if the merchant agreement is cancelled before its end date.
- Always check both the merchant agreement and the terminal hire schedule before any decision.
- Where switching makes clear financial sense, some alternative providers may be able to assist with exit costs, subject to approval.
Businesses Dojo may or may not suit

- Rate has not been reviewed since signing up.
- Business mix is heavy in commercial or international cards, where blended pricing can be more expensive.
