Verifone card machine

Quick Reference

Direct Answer

Verifone makes card-terminal hardware (the V200c, V400m and Carbon range) supplied through UK acquirers and ISOs; like Ingenico it is a manufacturer, not your acquirer. The terminals are solid, but the rate and contract come from the provider that ships them, so compare the deal behind the device rather than the Verifone badge.

Summary

Verifone: Verifone is a terminal manufacturer. Its devices are sold through acquirers and ISOs, so your contract and rate are with that provider, not Verifone. Rate set by the supplying acquirer or iso (quote-based), contract provider-dependent. Best for merchants whose acquirer ships verifone hardware. MerchantHQ compares it against the whole UK market before you commit.

MerchantHQ's verdict

A Verifone terminal is just the hardware; the deal is whatever acquirer or ISO supplies it. MerchantHQ compares the provider and all-in cost behind the device against the whole UK market, so you choose on the rate and contract that actually matter, not the brand on the screen.
