Thank you for considering PayaCharity, we are required to provide an indicative quotation for the UK Market in a specified format by the UK Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) through an online calculator.
You can use this to compare our acquiring rates with other providers within the UK Market, to find the best deal for you.
Please note the calculator produces a blended rate for comparison purposes as required by the PSR.
Paya Group works with a number of acquirers which means that we are able to offer merchants both Interchange ++ cost model or blended pricing options upon request of a bespoke quotation.
We support full transparency on the detail and make-up of the costs associated with accepting cards. Cost plus pricing is the transparent pass-through of each of the cost elements as outlined below.While the elements in relation to the Interchange and Card Scheme Fees may vary depending on several factors within a transaction, the Acquiring charge element will remain the fixed amount or percentage rate agreed with your acquirer.
Associated costs with the acceptance of card payments can be broken into 3 distinct elements:
- Interchange – This is the fixed fee that is charged by the Card Issuer for every transaction processed, for the most up to date current rates please visit the website of the relative Card Scheme where they publish and maintain these rates.
- Card Scheme Fees – These are the charges levied by the Card Schemes for use and development of their services.
- Acquiring Charges – These are the charges agreed to with your acquiring bank and usually come in the form of a fixed amount per transaction and / or an ad valorem % rate.
We operate as an independent sales organisation or referral partner for several acquirers. When we arrange acquiring services for a customer, we take responsibility for servicing the customer and, in return, receive a share of the merchant service charges paid to us by the partner acquirer. In cases where we refer a customer to an acquirer, we do not participate in the negotiation of the merchant service charges but will earn a commission from the acquirer for the introduction. If a customer already has their own merchant account, we do not receive a commission from the acquirer; however, we charge our own fees separately for any services we provide.
