More than a cheaper rate

Your provider sends a bill. We send a Buddy.

The big providers sign you up and disappear. We don't. You get a local Associate with a mobile number, plus extras the others don't bother with.

Free marketing support

Help promoting your business — when did your bank last offer that?

Regular cost reviews

We keep watching the market, so a good deal stays a good deal.

Installed around you

New kit fitted outside your trading hours, with training for your team.

A real person

No call-centre queues. Your Associate's number, for when it matters.

Merchant services that make you smile

Most owners don't have time to compare card payment costs. You trust that the great deal your bank gave you two years ago is still great today.

It usually isn't. Rates and fees change all the time. We compare your current set-up against providers we've built partnerships with — and show you exactly where the money's going.

Happy customers

Real businesses. Real savings.

£9,000+

We thought we had a great deal with our supplier… turns out we could save over £9,000. It took two meetings and we did hardly anything. Really was a no-brainer.

Paid for new EPOS

The money we saved on our card machine paid for a new EPOS system with handheld devices. They're on hand every step of the way — and they've introduced us to other great business partners too.

StevePub & restaurant owner
£5,000+

They analysed our statements, came back with a much better offer and took care of all the paperwork. We didn't have to do a thing. Perfect if you're too busy to chase better deals.

~£3,000

We thought we had a good deal but they saved us around £3,000. When lightning hit one of our pubs, they came out personally to make sure the new machines were installed properly. Can't recommend them enough.
