Hi,
There are many members on here that provide Payment Gateways and Merchant accounts. However when I try and find you its like your all hiding from me.
So can you all make yourself known on this thread please so we can keep track of you?

Hi All,

My name is Scott Laughland, I am part of the Online Development Team hear at Cardsave. If i could be of assistance please just give me a call or send me a message. I will always try to get back to you within one hour during normal working times.

Cardsave was formed in 1995 by an independent retailer frustrated by the high costs of credit and debit card processing available for his business, compared to those offered to the large multiples. In order to negotiate lower rates he needed to drastically increase his buying power, and this meant joining forces with others in the same position.
This was the birth of Cardsave, a unique buying group dedicated to providing competitive business services to the independent retailer. Our reputation for saving money grew quickly and today we have more than 48,000 members.

In addition to low cost credit card processing, we offer a wide range of additional good value business services to all our members.

If you have any questions or if i can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Do cardsave still rip off there customers? Even though our lengthy 4 year contract had ended (we had several terminals from you for about 10 years) you charged us about £180 to end the contract.

"It's all in the small print" we were told!

Hi Jazzydan58,

All the contracts are on a 12 month basis, If any merchant is not happy with the service they received they can contact us at month 11 saying they would wish to cancel there contract, This is then free of charge.

Jazzydan it is just like a contract mobile if you leave half way through then of course you are going to need to pay the rest of your term.

On average a merchant will stay with Cardsave for 7 years, This shows the quality of our service and also the competitive rates we offer.

We are not in the business of hiding any small print from our merchants, if there is something you would like to know i will answer with complete honesty.

I hope this answers your questions.

Hi there Mathew, Yes unfortunately this is the case. You can accept payments from any country as long as they pay in sterling and the funds land in a UK Business Bank Account in sterling pounds.

If we can help you with any other facility please just give me a call.

Hi Jazzydan58,

On the 11 month of your final 12 month membership did you contact us and request to cancel your services or was this mid way through a 12 month term?

I must admit 10 years ago there was 4 year contracts to secure a more competitive rate. Since then alot has changed, with the management buy out in 2007 bringing Clive Khan our present CEO into the driving seat. Cardsave has now become the biggest independent PSP in the UK.

Jazzydan58 can i also ask the reasons behind leaving Cardsave?

King Regards

Posted my contract off to Card Save today.

I can't stand messing around with a sales pitch, I rang up, I was given the figures straight away, I didn't even get round to asking.

Very easy and refreshing, and the rep I spoke to seemed like a sound guy, Jamie.

Our minimum contract term had ended, the building we were in was sold by the landlord and our lease was ended. We no longer needed the terminal at that location

Ok i can see what has happened here, Jazzydan58.

Your orignial agreement was for a minimum of 4 years. After 4 years it then becomes a 12 month rolling membership.

Example:

Year 9 month 11, if you wrote to us stating you would like to cancel. The membrship would end on Year 10 free of charge.

Year 10 month 2, Because this is now a new 12 month membership you could leave at month 11 free of charge. If you left before this time there would have been a cancellation charge.

I hope this helps.

Is your business still running and would you consider returning back to us, I could offer you very competative rates as a returning merchant?

Kind Regards
Scott Laughland

Hi,
Just thought I would share my experience so fare.

Cardsave
As they do not process EUR transactions to EUR merchant account’s (at this moment in time) so for my needs it’s not an option.
Which is a shame as they are good one the phone and look like they have great intergartion with Kashflow (this is a must).
They have passed me over to RBS Worldpay but there rates are ridicules and they don’t intergrate with kashflow.

Total Web Solutions
Now they can deal with EUR transactions to EUR merchant accounts from the word go.
However they are currently working with Kashflow to provide full integration.
Now this could be a solution depending on how long it takes for the integration to take place.


CharityClear
Once again they can deal with transactions to EUR merchant accounts from the word go.
They do integrate with Kashflow from the looks of it not as well as Cardsave. However the small extra feature I am looking for is possible.
Waiting for an update


I hope to talk with Iridium Corporation today and shall update you.

Scott @ [FONT=verdana,geneva,lucida,arial]Cardsave[/FONT]

I am a new start-up in sense of accepting online payment.
I need an additional payment option to PayPal on my website.
What is the typical workflow to work with you to get this up? turn around time? What prerequisites you need from me? You mention about the monthly rolling cost, any tie-in? any setup - for the prerequisites (such like merchant acc). We only needs online payment (maybe terminal)

Thanks,

Hi Simon,

I replied to your email yesterday.

We don't integrate with payment pages - our integrations are integrated into the app. For that, APIs need to be used - not redirection to pages.
