Merchant services in Ireland, compared for you.

Taking card payments is essential for every business in Ireland — but the rates, rental fees and contract terms can be hard to compare. We look at what you're paying now and benchmark it against the Irish market, then match you to a better deal. It's completely free: the provider we match you with pays us, not you.

Providers we compare

We benchmark your current card processing arrangement against merchant service providers across the Irish market, including:

And others — the Irish market changes, so we always check the full range of options before recommending a switch.

What actually matters

Headline rates can be misleading. When we review your merchant services, we look at the whole picture:

Transaction rates

The percentage charged on every card transaction, plus fixed fees per sale — the charges that quietly add up on every customer payment you take.

Terminal rental

What you pay each month per card machine, and whether you own or rent. Rental fees are often the most expensive part of a merchant services deal.

Hardware

Countertop terminals, portable machines, self-service kiosks, printers, kitchen display screens and cash drawers — the right mix for how your business actually runs.

Contract terms

Length of the contract, notice periods, and what it costs to leave early — terms that often matter more than the headline rate.

Support

What happens when a terminal fails on a busy Saturday. Downtime costs a small business money, so next-day replacement and 24/7 support matter as much as the rate.
