Is your Square deal still earning its place?
We review your Square 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 Square 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 Square arrangement
Square operates in the UK with simple pay-as-you-go pricing, a low-cost reader and an integrated point of sale. It is widely used by independent retail, hospitality and personal service businesses that want one supplier for payments and POS.
Headline pricing is straightforward, but the effective rate paid each month depends on card mix, refunds and any add-on subscriptions in use.
- Per-transaction percentageApplied to all card payments via the reader or virtual terminal.
- Card reader costUsually a one-off purchase.
- SubscriptionsOptional POS, marketing and loyalty bundles.
Contract, terminals, payment channels and settlement considerations
- Core card acceptance is typically contract-free for the reader itself.
- Add-on subscriptions have their own terms and renewal cycles.
- There is usually no formal exit fee on the core reader product.
- Always cancel any add-on subscriptions separately.
Businesses Square may or may not suit
Why businesses ask for a review
- Steady monthly turnover that may justify a managed account.
- Add-on subscriptions are no longer being used.
- Owner wants to benchmark Square against an Interchange Plus quote.

Frequently asked questions
Will reviewing my Square statement contact Square?
No. We never contact your current provider without your written permission. The review is private and entirely for your information.
Do I have to leave Square after the review?
Not at all. Many reviews end with the business staying on a renegotiated rate, or with confirmation that the existing setup is reasonable. You are under no obligation to switch.
How long does a Square statement review take?
We will confirm the expected review time after receiving your information.
What does the review actually check?
Transaction rates, terminal rental, PCI fees, authorisation fees, monthly minimums, settlement timings, contract length, exit fees and any additional charges specific to your account.
