If you are already accepting credit/debit Switch etc, card payments you are half way there. Although we are currently negotiating with UK Merchant Account providers in order to offer the best possible economic deals to our customers, we are advising to approach your existing credit card Merchant Account provider or your bank or your whichever the case might be, for the online trading option. If you find that what they are offering is acceptable to your business, then take it. They should be able to provide you with the necessary scripts that can be easily installed to your site. If you find it an uneconomic proposition, you should still be able to accept credit card payments on line but you will have to process them manually through your already existing terminal. We can provide you with the necessary scripts for credit card validation and credit card detail submission through secure means. Recent reports in the press about banks overcharging their customers is a better reason why you should try and shop around. Another matter you need to consider is the amount of form filling and the bureaucracy that exists amongst British banks. Soon we would be able to either put you in touch with UK Merchant account providers or you should be able to apply on line.
