Independent UK card payment reviews
Is your Stripe deal still earning its place?
We review your Stripe 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.
No statement or competing quote needed to start. Free review, with no obligation to switch. We never contact a payment provider 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 Stripe arrangement
Stripe publishes UK standard processing prices and custom pricing options. Its products cover different payment workflows, so establish whether your bill includes only processing or additional tools such as billing or platform services.
A useful Stripe review separates card categories, payment methods, currencies and product charges. Compare those costs with the same functionality elsewhere, including any development or migration work. Higher turnover does not automatically make another pricing model cheaper.
- ProcessingApply method-specific rates and fixed amounts to the actual transaction mix.
- Additional productsIdentify the separately priced Stripe services and third-party tools you use.
- International and currency costsDistinguish card-origin charges, conversion and settlement requirements.
- Other chargesInclude relevant refund, dispute or payout costs from the current schedule and your agreement.
Contract, terminals, payment channels and settlement considerations
- Check the terms for your selected products and any custom commercial agreement.
- Confirm any minimum spend or other commitment in writing; do not assume every custom pricing offer has the same conditions.
- Before changing processor, scope checkout, subscriptions and stored-payment migration with the suppliers involved.
- Plan pending refunds, disputes, reporting and any remaining commitments. Stopping new payments is not the same as completing every account obligation.

Frequently asked questions
Will reviewing my Stripe statement contact Stripe?
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 Stripe after the review?
Not at all. The review may support staying, asking your provider for revised terms, or comparing a suitable alternative. You are under no obligation to switch.
Can I start without a Stripe statement?
Yes. Tell us your current provider, approximate card turnover and what you want to improve. A recent statement helps us check the actual charges, but you can provide it later.
How long does a Stripe statement review take?
We will confirm the expected review time after receiving your information.
Get an independent view on your Stripe setup
We check your current costs and compare suitable options from our selected provider network where useful. We explain whether staying, renegotiating or switching makes sense. A recent Stripe statement helps us check actual charges, but you can send it later. You do not need another provider's quote to start.
