Through expert advice and a free brokerage service, members save time and money on every aspect of taking payment by card, with typical savings of 30% on existing card processing costs.
 

Benefits to members

  • Discounted card processing rates and no set-up fee
  • Merchant accounts with no minimum monthly service charge, subject to acceptance (particularly beneficial to members with seasonal businesses or low card turnovers)
These benefits are exclusive to Intermediate and Advanced Forum members - they are not accessible to other businesses.
 
"Thanks to the Forum of Private Business and Accept Cards Ltd we feel much more secure because we don't have to carry around bundles of cash. It is also a more efficient way of taking and receiving payments and one that customers really appreciate. The terminal actually pays for itself. Unlike with most other providers you don't have to pay for it for 12 months, so we can use the facility flexibly to get the most out of seasonal trade."
