Overview of Epos Now Payments
Epos Now Payments is the card processing service bundled with Epos Now's EPOS and till software. It's often sold to hospitality and retail businesses at the point of buying or renewing their EPOS system, so the pricing rarely gets a standalone review.
A review usually looks at whether the bundled payments rate is competitive, whether the EPOS contract genuinely requires their payments product, and what the alternatives would cost side by side.
Common fees businesses should check
Usually blended, quoted alongside the EPOS package.
Card reader may be included in the EPOS bundle or hired separately.
Monthly software cost that sits alongside the payments rate.
Standard recurring charges.

Start free reviewContract terms and considerations
- EPOS software contracts typically run 12 to 60 months and can be independent of the payments product.
- Payments contracts are usually shorter and can be reviewed separately.
Exit fees and early termination
- Early termination on the EPOS contract can be significant.
- The payments side is often easier to move than the EPOS software.
We never guarantee to pay your exit fees or that you can be released from a contract. Any support with exit costs is dependent on selected alternative providers, is subject to approval and is only considered when switching makes clear financial sense.
Common reasons businesses request a review
- Payments rate was bundled into an EPOS deal and has never been benchmarked.
- EPOS contract is not up for renewal but the payments side could be switched.
- Effective rate is materially above the market for the business's card mix.
