Credit card machines

We've got a card payment machine that's right for your business.

All of our Ingenico card payment terminals are quick, reliable and accept all major credit and debit cards including Visa, Mastercard, Maestro and American Express. They're also set up to accept contactless payments and you can take payments over the phone through your card machine too.

They come with the latest PCI DSS security to protect both you and your customers’ details and use Chip & PIN technology to enable secure payment transactions.

Apple Pay and Android Pay come as standard, so customers can use their mobile phones or other smart devices to pay.

This means you can serve your customers more quickly, give them more payment options and shorten queuing times.

Why take card payments?

Lots and lots of people want to pay by card machine. In fact, it's become the UK's most popular payment method, with UK Finance reporting that 13.2 billion debit card payments and 3.1 billion credit card payments were made in 2017.

This is why having the option to process credit and debit card payments for customers has become increasingly important.

Card machine FAQs

  • Which is the best card payment machine for my business?

    We can help you decide! Our Payment Consultants are on hand to help - they'll get a good understanding of your business and recommend the right machine for you.

    All of our card machines are contactless, Apple Pay and Android Pay enabled as standard.

    We have a range to choose from, including:

    • Countertop – take payments at your till.
    • Mobile – accept payments whilst out on the road.
    • Portable – take payments from around your premises.
  • Is there a difference between a card machine, card reader or PDQ machine?

    No, they're all just different names for the same thing.

  • Why should I get a card machine?

    Over the past few years, the total of card payments made within the UK has quickly overtaken cash payments.

    That's why it’s becoming key for businesses to be able to take credit and debit card payments with a card payment terminal.

    By having a card reader, you’ll be able to accept all major credit and debit cards, including Visa, Mastercard and Amex, and also take contactless payments - making life easier for your customers.

  • Will I be able to set it up myself?

    We like to keep things simple, which is why all our credit card machines are easy to install yourself.

    If you need any assistance, our dedicated activation team is on-hand to help.

    Please call 01472 255 750 to speak to our activation team.

  • Can I take contactless card payments through a card machine?

    Yes. All of our card payment machines accept contactless payments on sales up to the value of £30.

    Not only that, our terminals can also accept Apple Pay and Android Pay payments through your customers’ smartphone and other devices.

  • What types of cards can the card machines accept?

    Our terminals accept all major credit and debit cards including Visa, MasterCard, Maestro and American Express.

  • How much do card machines cost?

    The cost of a card machine will depend on the type of business you own, your turnover and the type you choose.

    We provide straightforward and flexible pricing, and there are no hidden fees when you join.

    Once you’ve picked the right machine for you, you’ll pay a monthly fee for the terminal rental, as well as an authorisation fee (acquirer charge) and merchant service charge, which covers transaction fees.

    The processing charges will depend on the types of card payments you take, for example, debit cards usually have a different transaction fee to credit cards. If you don’t meet the agreed monthly fee, you will be charged a minimum monthly service charge instead.

    You will also need to pay PCI DSS compliance fees to make sure you’re PCI DSS compliant.

    While other businesses use a one size fits all solution, here at Payzone, we create a pricing package to suit your business' needs.

    A local card payment specialist will meet with you face to face and will have expert, local business knowledge to help you choose which card machine is right for you.

    Your package will cover any transaction and authorisation fees, and you will also agree a minimum monthly service charge. These rates are tailored to you, based on the volume of card transactions your business makes or will be making in the future.

Payzone card payments has changed its name.

In January 2020, the Payzone card acceptance business changed its name from Payzone UK Limited to takepayments Limited.

As the new name suggests, takepayments is now solely focused on making it easier for business customers to get paid. From card machines and EPOS systems, to online and phone payments, takepayments is delivering innovative ways to help simplify how customers manage their business.

Why have we changed our name?
In 2018, the Bill Payments part of Payzone was bought by Post Office Limited. Payzone Bill Payments retailers continue to provide bill payment services in their stores under the Payzone brand.
