About Independent Merchant Services

Best Compare Card Payment Provider

Independent Merchant Services is based in northwest England and was established in 2012 by our Managing Director who found the experience of reviewing merchant service costs frustrating and time-consuming.

Our MD was searching the web to compare card fees, and whilst there was no shortage of comparison websites, none gave him the information needed to find the most reliable and competitive card payment providers or merchant services solutions. Instead, he was inundated with call centres, confusing pricing, additional charges in the small print, and pushy sales agents all trying to sell him their “deal.”

So he set up Independent Merchant Services to offer a quick, simple, and effective way of sourcing the right payment processing provider, the best offers to suit each business owner, and “peace of mind” knowing that the rates wont change mid contract and will give excellent service all through the agreement.

Since then, we have helped tens of thousands of business owners find the best merchant services solutions to suit their businesses and, together, process over a billion pounds of card transactions through the approved acquiring banks.

Feel free to Contact Our Experts at Independent Merchant Services for any inquiries. We are always happy to help.
