Im currently with PSW and they do it at 11% which makes it pointless me going through the hassle of setting up my own merchant account.

Now i find out my lovely competitors in the USA process at between 2%-4%

When ur talking large figures per a day in affect we are losing a lot of money a year simply because we are in the UK.

Lets talk about solutions...

HELP!

Look for a different UK bank. I had to setup a merchant account for my old company (and for the life of me can't remember who I used in the end) a few years back in the UK> The rate was MUCH lower than 8.5%. Shop around.
