If you work in a busy business, you don’t want to be stuck behind your till all day. You want to be out on the shop floor with your customers. And with a portable card machine, you can be.
Using wireless Bluetooth technology, you can take payments at the table, or along the bar, without any wires getting in the way, speeding things up.
One of our expert payment consultants will pop into your business for a visit to find out more about how you work.
They’ll then create you a super-simple pricing package that’s just right for you. We don’t do one size fits all.
You can use the handset within 50m of the base, which speak to each other through Bluetooth.
It's lightweight enough that you can hand it to your customers to make a payment.
It comes with a quick, step-by-step installation guide so you'll be up and running in no time.
You won't need to charge it every time you need to use it. A full battery should last all day.
The machine accepts chip and PIN payments, as well as contactless, Apple Pay and Android Pay too.
Unlike a lot of other providers, we won’t tie you in to a long contract – ours are just 12 months.
Our payment consultants are right on your doorstep, ready to help you get set up.
We don’t charge you to get set up. Leave at the end of your contract, and you won't pay an exit fee.

Serve your customers at the till.
Take card payments when you’re on the go.
Accept credit and debit cards online safety and securely.
You’ll be able to accept everything you’d expect, like all the major credit and debit cards (Mastercard, Visa, Maestro and American Express).
You’ll also be able to accept contactless payments, as well as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay (also known as Android Pay).
The machines work via Bluetooth, which is a wireless technology. As long as you’re within 50 metres of the charging base, you’ll be able to use the handset to take a payment.
The handset will read the data from the customer’s credit or debit card and then transfer it securely to our acquiring partner, such as Barclaycard, to process.
Once approved, the money will be in your business bank account within 3 to 5 business days.
There are two versions available, one that plugs directly into your phoneline or broadband, or one that connects via WiFi.
Both still use Bluetooth, so you can choose the one that's best suited for your business.
The machine comes in two parts. A charging base and separate handset, which will need to be plugged into the mains power.
You can sit the handset in the base when you’re not using it to charge, or charge it overnight – whichever works for you!
If you want to take payments to your customers, rather than them having to queue up at the till, it's a great option.
Businesses who commonly use them include cafes, coffee shops, restaurants and bars, although they are useful in many other businesses too.
One of our card payment specialists will come and meet you to find out how you want to use a card machine and recommend whether it’s a portable one you need, or a different type.
They’ll be able to create you a personalised pricing package based on your needs.
We specialise in helping small and medium-sized businesses. That could be a restaurant, dry cleaner, café, hairdresser, or anything in-between.
