The payment industry is complicated.
There is a lot of misinformation and not much transparency from the large payment processors. Most providers tend to obscure pricing while giving the appearance of inflexibility and exclusivity into their services. Those providers that do publish merchant fees on their website are significantly more expensive than the rates we can secure.
Merchant Savvy gives you back control and offers you transparency on fees and contract terms so that you can make the best decision for your business.

Carried out a review at the end of 2019, found Darren to be totally professional and compared to some of the other companies, factual, straightforward and at no time ever forceful or pushy. Oh, and the rates were spot on.
Would have no hesitation to recommend him to any clients. switch over process was straightforward.

I searched and applied for numerous card processing solutions and failed due to being classed as high risk (travel industry and high turnover). Geoff came to my rescue and as he is highly knowledgable, he was able to recommend a provider.
We were accepted with great rates with money being released in the standard processing times of a few days (as opposed to our old provider who retained payment on a 9 week rolling period). Really impressed. Highly recommend. Honestly Geoff, thanks a million..

Professional, courteous & a pleasure to deal with.
Having used one of the larger companies to procure card payments previously we were left disappointed with poor customer service and hidden charges.
Roger and the team at Independent Merchant Services offered a more personal and straight forward service quickly & efficiently and were excellent throughout. Without negotiating rates or any hustling we were offered excellent rates and a fair contract term with open and upfront costs. We had an issue upon opening outdoors with our card terminal having not considered we would need a GPS terminal that covered a larger outdoor space and IMS arranged an upgraded replacement in rapid time.
Highly recommended

I spoke with Roger who listened first, and asked quite a few questions. That was refreshing after trying to grasp a solution from many other brokers for five days before finding his web site.
When he (Roger) explained all of the various options on the market he pointed me at an option that suited perfectly. Being a seasonal business included some variables and exposures that were also considered.
Without going into too much detail. I am delighted with the outcome tailored to fit our needs exactly and at a better, more competitive charge-per-transaction than we could imagine. Brilliant service, Great result.
Thank you Roger.
