Card Payments

Are you overpaying on card processing?

A review of your current card processing arrangement — in person and online. We assess your rates, identify whether you could do better, and introduce you to the right provider.

What It Is

A straightforward review of your card processing.

Many businesses accept card payments without regularly reviewing what they're actually paying in processing costs. Rates, contract terms and service charges can all shift over time, and unless you check, you may be paying more than you need to.

Vantage reviews your current arrangement and introduces you to a provider suited to your business. We don't process payments ourselves. The provider handles terminal provision, onboarding, processing, contracts and ongoing service.

Vantage introduces businesses to payment providers under signed introducer arrangements. Currently, the introducer agreement (an ISC) is held by Acquirity Limited. A separate company, Vantage Business Payments Limited, has been incorporated and arrangements will transfer once banking is ready and the provider agrees. We will tell you which entity applies to your introduction before you proceed.

Privacy Notice — Card Statements

If you share a merchant statement with us, we use AI to read the figures (turnover, fees, transaction counts and card mix) and a member of our team confirms every figure before any calculation. We do not store card numbers, bank account numbers, sort codes or personal home addresses — any such data is automatically stripped. We share confirmed figures (not your original statement) with payment providers to arrange quotes. Statement files are deleted 90 days after upload if your review does not progress, or 12 months after upload for live merchants. You can request access to or deletion of your data at any time. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
