Payment acceptance for every trading channel

Our range of terminals and virtual solutions allow you to accept payments from customers quickly and safely.

In person

Process sales, refunds, gratuities, purchases with cashback and pre-authorisations. Our portable terminals, usable up to 100m from the base, are well-suited to restaurants and café, while our classic terminals are perfect for accepting payments from a traditional till point.

On the move

Our mobile terminals use a GPRS system that finds the strongest signal from three networks to accept card payments almost anywhere, making them an ideal solution for events like wedding fairs, festivals and fast-food delivery companies.

Cut the queues with contactless payments

Whether it’s half time at the match, grabbing refreshments on the go, or five minutes before curtain-up - whenever you need to serve large volumes of customers as quickly as possible, our contactless terminals are the answer. With payments of £15 or under taken in less than half a second, there's more serving time and less waiting time. View our contactless product video.

Card-not-present payments

Customers need to feel their payments are secure when making important virtual purchases like room bookings or tickets. So if you're selling online, over the phone or by mail order, rely on our ePDQ solutions for a reliable, customer-friendly way to accept card payments around the clock.

Online, our ePDQ system integrates seamlessly into your existing website payment pages. Or use ePDQ Lite, our simple web-based virtual terminal, to accept payments over the phone or by mail, with real-time authorisation.

International payments

Barclaycard SmartPay is an online payment gateway for pan-European transactions and payment processing services. Simple and secure, it allows you to take control of your international online business and meet PCI DSS.

Fighting Fraud

Our leading fraud prevention product Fraud Reporter provides you with data to expose fraud wherever it’s hiding, and acts fast with real time Issuer alerts to intercept fraudulent transactions that have been processed – preventing losses to your business.

Boost turnover with new income streams

We're constantly developing innovative extra services to help you attract more customers and offer them greater value.

Dynamic Currency Conversion

If you take payments from tourists or business travellers, Dynamic Currency Conversion benefits both you and your customers. They'll see their purchases in up to 21 local currencies, accounting for 87% of foreign card turnover¹ as well as sterling, and choose which one to pay with. And you'll receive a share of the foreign exchange commission.

Prepaid solutions

Gift cards account for around 2-4% of retail sales UK-wide² and are a perfect fit with many leisure and entertainment businesses. Generate a new income stream and encourage customer loyalty with our flexible prepaid cards that not only promote your business, but effectively keep money in it.

Mobile phone top-ups

Another potential income stream is commission earned on mobile phone top-ups processed through your terminal. With 62% of all UK mobiles pay-as-you-go³, top-ups can be a powerful way to boost income, increase footfall and drive loyalty.
