How do I update my Direct Debit?

You'll have two direct debits - one is set up with ourselves, which covers the rental of your terminal, and one with your acquirer, such as Barclaycard or Elavon, which covers your transactions. 

If you would like to update the Direct Debit you have with us, you can print and complete the form here. 

You can then send it to:

takepayments Limited, 4th floor Highbank House, Exchange Street, Stockport, SK3 0ET.

Or you can email it to: creditcontrolcollections@takepayments.com 

To change your Direct Debit with the acquirer, you'll need to contact them directly:

Barclaycard: 0800 092 0808

Elavon: 0345 850 0195

Why do I have two Direct Debits?

You'll have one set up with ourselves, which covers the rental of your terminal, and one with your acquirer, such as Barclaycard or Elavon, which covers your transactions. 

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 or Elavon.

The bill from us will cover the cost of your products and equipment, including terminal hire, online services, virtual terminals, PCI, tPOS 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.

What is a Merchant Identification Number (MID)?

A Merchant Identification Number, also known as a MID, is your account's identification number. You'll be given this when you first open an account with us, and it's what we use to locate your account on our system.

If you take card payments a number of ways (e.g. a card machine and a virtual terminal), you'll be given a different merchant identification number for each.

What is a Terminal Identification Number (TID)?

A Terminal Identification Number, also known as a TID, is your terminal's identification number. If you open an account to take card payments through one of our card machines, you'll be given this when you first sign up.

If you get multiple card machines with us, we'll give you a different terminal identification number for each machine.
