100% Transparent, Impartial And Honest

If you’ve seen a payment processing deal that seems too good to be true, chances are it is. Merchant providers often conceal a multitude of additional fees and terms to appear more competitive, allowing them to offer cheaper rates. These “deals” are misleading and are designed to lock merchants in to long-term a contract plagued with unrealistic terms and hidden charges that can be unaffordable and, ultimately, unfair.

At Merchant Advice Service, our quotes provide all costs upfront, so you know exactly where you stand. Our approach to find the best value deal combines a review of merchant rates, equipment quality, contract length, mid-term price increases and hidden fees — all the things that could come back to haunt you — so you are completely clear on what your contract means, across it’s full term, before you sign anything.

Our advice is 100% impartial, so whether you’re a sole trader or start-up looking to introduce online payments, or a global empire thinking of switching providers, or simply want to see what options are out there, our specialists can help you.

What our clients say

Testimonial
Absolutely first class in every way.

Libby and the team at Merchant Advice Service are absolutely first class in every way. We have a furniture business and were let down by our existing payment processing company at a critical time for our business and without warning. We were lucky enough to be put in contact with Libby at Merchant Advice Service. After 48 hours Libby found us another company that were much better than our existing provider and the rates were better as well. Since this Libby has placed us with two other financial institutions that have been instrumental in not only saving us money but have also helped our business to grow.

I could not speak more highly of the team at Merchant Advice Service and would advise anyone to pick up the phone for a friendly chat if you want to improve on your current payment processing situation.

They deserve every 5 star review that they achieve
