Find providers that fit how your business takes payments
The right merchant account provider depends on more than headline
transaction rates. Your business type, payment methods, processing
volumes and existing setup can all affect which providers are suitable.
If you’re still understanding how merchant accounts work, visit our
merchant account advice hub
for guidance on pricing, acquiring, settlement and choosing the right
payment setup.
01
Business & sector
Providers have different underwriting criteria and appetites
for different types of businesses.
02
How you take payments
Face-to-face, online, telephone, payment links and recurring
payments can require different acquiring arrangements.
03
Transaction profile
Monthly card turnover and average transaction value can influence
pricing, underwriting and which providers are worth approaching.
04
Current setup
If you're switching, we can consider your current provider,
reasons for moving and any integration or service issues.
