Looked at three providers before picking this one, mostly because the monthly fee was lower and there were no contract tie-ins. I'd been put off by bad reviews of a rival, but the sign-up was straightforward and I had the terminal running within a week. The reporting is good and I can export everything to my accountant in a couple of clicks. Customer service was helpful when I had a question…

The setup took a fair while with the app but the support line was patient and sorted out the one thing that wasn't working. Payments have been reliable since, and the money arrives in our account without any fuss.

Signed up for the first time and the sign up form asked for loads of details about the business. The reader came quickly and the app walks you through taking a payment. Fees seem a bit higher than I hoped but it's working for my van cleaning side hustle.
Fees are fine if you take the odd card payment, but they add up quickly if you process a lot of transactions. I took a close look at the statement and the per-transaction charge is higher than some rivals. Money arrives on time and the terminal is reliable, so it's a trade-off.
I'd used their terminals before so I knew what to expect, and this one is the same model as last time. The screen looks a bit smaller than the photo on the site though. Still does everything I need, contactless is quick and the receipts print clearly.
The best bit is how quickly the money hits my account after a sale, usually next working day. Took a bit longer than I'd like to get the paperwork approved though, a couple of weeks. Terminal works well otherwise.
