What does Card Processing involve?

When a customer pays for an item, the money needs to be taken from their account securely. Regular bank accounts are not equipped to handle customer transactions. So, card processing will create what’s known as a merchant account for your business.

A merchant account exists for the sole purpose of allowing a business to accept electronic payments from its customers. Funds taken from your customer will stay in the merchant account, and they can then be transferred to your business account once processed.

Bark makes it easy to browse merchant account providers. Get detailed information about card processing companies, read reviews, and request contact - all from one place.

What are the benefits of having a Merchant Account?

Having a merchant account will allow you to accept payment from debit and credit cards. As these are the most popular payment forms out there, businesses need to offer them if they want to be successful!

A merchant account will also allow you to increase your sales since having the option to pay via a credit card opens your business up to far more people.

There are also plenty of practical benefits of a merchant account. It can make your accounting much easier to process, especially during reconciliation. It can also help your business avoid fraudulent payments.

Wondering how much getting a merchant account will cost you? Read our handy guide to find out how much card processing companies charge on average in the UK.

What types of Merchant Accounts are there?

There are 3 types of merchant accounts including aggregated merchant accounts, dedicated merchant accounts and high-risk merchant accounts. Here’s a brief overview of all 3.

Aggregated merchant accounts

  • Set up by a payment facilitator
  • Often best for small businesses
  • Industry-specific
  • Transactions are pooled
  • Less control over when money is paid to you

Dedicated merchant accounts

  • Set up directly with acquiring bank
  • More control over when your money is paid
  • More room for rate negotiation

High risk merchant accounts

  • Suited for those who have struggled to get approval elsewhere
  • Can be industry-specific (i.e for gambling or tobacco products)
  • Can process a high number of transactions per second
  • Pricing not always attainable for small businesses

Not sure which merchant account is best for your business? We’ll connect you with experienced card processing companies who will be able to offer expert advice on the best choice for you.

What is the difference between a Merchant Account and a business bank account?

Although both a business bank account and a merchant account handles funds relating to your business, the purpose of each is completely different.

A business bank account is designed to handle transactions relating to the running of your business. This can include aspects such as rent, payroll, utilities, equipment purchase etc.

Merchant accounts are specifically created to handle electronic payments made into your business. The money is held while it is processed and is done so securely. For a detailed overview of what a Merchant Account involves, read our handy guide.

The service provided by Smart Card Payments has been second to none. With the set up we have, card payments clear in to us next day which is great for cash flow management and the customer service you get is fantastic. Couple that with low charges and great terminal functionality, and Smart Card Payments really has been a massive benefit to our business.
