Card fees

Work out what your card machine really costs

Move the sliders to see your own yearly figure. If it looks high, send it over and we will tell you plainly whether it can be beaten.

  • No charge to you. The provider pays us
  • A panel, not a single brand
  • We will tell you to stay put if your deal is good

What are your card fees costing you?

Move the sliders. No credit check, no charge.

Step 1 of 2

Your current card processing costs
You are paying roughly £2,100 a year on card processing Example figure. Move a slider to use your own.
A month£175
Per £1,000 taken£17.50
£10,000
£1,000£100,000
1.75%
0.3%3.5%

Your rate is on a recent merchant statement. If you cannot find it, leave the slider where it is and we will work the real figure out with you on the call. This is your own arithmetic, not a quote.

Where do we send the answer?

No obligation. Your agreement is always directly with the provider or lender you choose.

Who we work with

Businesses that take card payments every day

Independent traders whose card costs are rarely reviewed, because nobody sits down with them and does the arithmetic.

Off licences and convenience

High transaction counts, low basket value. Small differences per transaction add up fast across a year.

Takeaways and restaurants

Card heavy and seasonal, often juggling delivery platform fees on top of processing costs.

Salons and barbers

Appointment based, steady takings, usually still on whichever terminal was signed on opening day.

Trades and services

Payments taken on site, invoices waiting, and equipment that needs replacing sooner than cash allows.

How it works

Four steps, and you can stop at any of them

  1. 01

    You tell us what you pay now

    A recent statement, or a rough idea. Enough to work out the annual figure.

  2. 02

    We compare across the panel

    Providers differ on pricing, terms and which businesses they accept. The comparison is the service.

  3. 03

    You see the numbers side by side

    Including the number for staying exactly where you are.

  4. 04

    We handle the paperwork

    Your agreement is with the provider. We arrange it and chase it through.

Rather we called you?

Leave a number and one of our team will ring you back. Ten minutes usually settles whether there is anything worth doing.

Straight answers

The questions we actually get asked

Does this cost me anything?

No. There is no charge to you at any stage. We are paid a commission by the provider or lender you choose to proceed with, and we would rather say that plainly than have you wondering.

Will enquiring affect my credit score?

Asking us to look at your options does not involve a credit search. If you later decide to apply to a specific lender, that lender will tell you what kind of search they run before you commit to anything.

Are you a lender?

No, we are a broker. Your merchant account is held directly with the payment provider, and any finance agreement is between your business and the lender. We arrange the introduction and never hold your money.

What if my current deal is already good?

Then we will tell you so. There is nothing in it for either of us in moving a business that is already well placed.

Can finance repay from my card takings?

That structure exists. The repayment is a share of what you take on card each day, so it flexes with a quiet week. Whether it suits your business depends on the lender and your circumstances, which is worth asking about on a call.

How long have you been going?

Jos Finserv Ltd was incorporated in December 2022, registered in England and Wales, company number 14560046. We are a small team and we would rather you knew that than found out later.

Insights

Worth knowing before you sign anything

Plain guidance on card costs, tills and business funding. New pieces every week.

All insights

Can you leave your card machine contract early?

Small businesses can usually end a card processing contract on a month's notice, with no exit fee after six months. Terminal leases are different. How to check where you stand, and the April 2026 rules on providers closing accounts.

Can HMRC take money from your business bank account?

HMRC can already take unpaid tax over £1,000 from a business bank account after repeated ignored contact. The Autumn Budget 2026 confirmed plans to collect smaller company tax debts in instalments from 2029. What it means and what to do if you can't pay.

Worth ten minutes?

Pick a 30-minute slot and we will ring you on the number you give. Weekdays 9am to 6pm and Saturday mornings 9am to 1pm. No credit check, nothing to sign. If there is nothing worth changing, we will say so.
