Your Barclaycard bill

Barclaycard have created a useful guide to help you understand your bill, which you can view here.

Why do I get two different bills?

When you join us, you have 2 separate contracts, which is why you will get two different bills. One from us, and one from your acquirer, such as Barclaycard, Elavon or Cashflows.

The bill from us will cover the cost of your products and equipment, including terminal hire, online services, virtual terminals, PCI, EPOS and any other product that you take with us.

The second is from your acquirer and this will cover the cost to process your transactions.

It's likely that these bills will arrive at different times of the month.
