Cardsave - low cost credit card processing

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 small business sector.

Over the last 15 years we have supported our merchants through a range of payment industry developments.From the early migration of “zip-zap” payments to electronic transactions, the deployment of secure Chip & PIN payment devices to the more recent dramatic expansion in the use of cards to take online payments we have helped merchants every step of the way. Our reputation as the small business card payment specialist has not only grown but continued to evolve and develop.

We have more than 45,000 members operating across a multitude of business sectors who need to take card payments however and wherever their customers demand.

Today Cardsave is a member of the WorldPay Group, the UK’s largest card processor*. Our merchants now benefit from the best of both worlds. Peace of mind that transactions are processed efficiently and securely by the UK’s largest acquirer. Dedicated quality of service delivered via our individual attention to each and every merchant support requirement.

“We switched from our high street bank to Cardsave, since they were expensive and Cardsave’s rates were much lower. Our TSM, Jarvid was brilliant, and very efficient, going through everything with us, so that when we did receive the terminal it was very quick and easy to use.”
