Take your mobile card machine with you.
Are you a mobile hairdresser, taxi driver, window cleaner, plumber, or, in fact, anyone who travels to see their customers?
A mobile card reader lets you take payments from customers there and then, face to face. No more relying on invoices or cash.
It uses 3G to connect to the strongest GPRS signal available through a SIM card, just like your mobile phone does.
That means that you can accept credit and debit cards anytime, anywhere in the UK, helping make things easier for you.
Mobile card readers are also perfect for hospitality businesses serving customers outside, whether that's in your garden or allocated seating area on the pavement.
Plus, our mobile card readers come equipped with contactless payments so you can serve more customers quickly.

Is a mobile card reader right for your business?
We'll help you decide. One of our local payment consultants will come to your business to meet you to get a really good understanding of how it works.
They’ll look at how you currently process payments, your turnover and what you want out of a card payment solution.
They’ll then be able to help you decide whether a mobile card payment machine is right (if it’s not, we have plenty of other options!).
Based on this information, they’ll then create a personalised mobile card reader pricing package that works for you.

It's so simple to take card payments. As we're on the top of a hill in the countryside, I was worried the card machine would fail, but the mobile machine works perfectly!

Frequently asked questions.
How does a mobile card reader work?
The machine comes in two parts:
- A charging base that you can leave at home or in the office when you’re out and about (it also comes with a micro USB which you can plug into your car to charge if you need a boost).
- The card machine itself.
The machine comes with a SIM card, and will connect to the strongest GPRS signal available (Vodaphone, O2, and T Mobile) through 3G. This means you can process payments anywhere you have a signal.
What types of card payments can I take?
All of our mobile card machines come set up to accept all major credit and debit cards. This includes Visa, Mastercard, Maestro and American Express.
Are mobile card payments secure?
Yes, they are.
Our machines use chip and PIN technology to process payments. This means the customer puts their card in and enters their PIN number to make a payment.
They all also have PCI security features to help protect both you and your customers’ data.
Will I be able to accept contactless payments with a mobile credit card reader?
Yes, you will. All of our machines accept contactless payments up to £100.
Rather than putting their card in and entering their PIN, the customer can just tap the card against the machine to pay and that's it.
Do mobile credit card machines accept Apple and Android Pay?
Yes, they do. The machines are set up to accept Apple Pay, Android Pay (also called Google Pay) and Samsung Pay as standard.
What is PCI compliance?
To make sure you’re processing safe card payments, whether it's with a mobile card reader, or any other type of solution, you need to be PCI compliant.
We can help you get this set up. Find out more about PCI compliance.
