Merchant Account with Guaranteed Acceptance or your money back!
Our service is specially designed for customers who have been rejected for merchant accounts due to poor/adverse credit. It enables existing or new, start-up businesses to accept credit and debit cards by phone, over the internet and for mail order. You can even use this service if you have a retail or service business where customers are physically present and where you need a chip-and-pin terminal.
Both POS card machines (chip-and-PIN) and virtual terminal systems suitable for online, mail or phone orders are available.
In addition, mobile terminals (using mobile phone signals) and complex systems which integrate to electonic tills are also possible.
Sell more - make more money...
It's a well known business story: businesses that make it easier for customers to pay with credit and debit cards sell more and therefore increase profits. This is especially true for online businesses and those that sell by mail order. It's also true for service providers selling high value items and those providing emergency services (such as plumbers and glaziers).
Is it easy to get a merchant account?
Unless you have been trading for years and have excellent credit, it is dificult to obtain merchant account facilities through High Street banks. This is because of the high risks associated with credit and debit card transactions.
How can Enigma FSM help?
We have access to reputable merchant account providers who will consider any clients with adverse history. We can assist customers with the application procedures, and accounts are generally set up within one to two weeks. If you require a chip-and-pin machine, this will be suplied directly by them for you to use. If you need to integrate with a website, this is also supported.
How much does it cost?
We charge a fee for preparing the case and submitting it to one of our providers for underwriting. There is also usually a set-up or application charge for the service, typically £75-150. New businesses (i.e. trading less than one year) will usually have to pay six months facility fees upfront to the merchant account provider.
I want it. What next?
Either add this to your basket and check out (only our fee of £99 required at this stage) OR call us on 0330 555 1230. However, if you order this service with one of our business current account services, you pay the reduced fee of only £49.50.
Money-Back Guarantee
We will happily refund our fee in the unlikely event that your application is refused. Please note that refund of fees by the merchant account provider is at their discretion, although this is not usually a problem.
Please note that you must have a business account to apply for this service. Under UK law, receipts from a merchant account cannot be paid into a personal bank account. If you don't already have a business bank account, we also offer this service.
