[0:00] What is a UK card machine? A 60-second plain answer.
[0:07] A UK card machine is a PCI-certified payment terminal. It reads chip cards, contactless cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Pay by Bank.
[0:15] There are three form factors. Countertop terminals that sit by the till. Portable Bluetooth readers that pair with a phone or tablet. Mobile 4G readers with their own SIM card.
[0:23] There are two cost models. Pay-as-you-go from SumUp, Zettle, and Square. Or monthly contracts from Dojo, Worldpay, Takepayments, and Stripe.
[0:30] When you compare them, look at five things. The effective rate per transaction. Settlement speed to your bank. Hardware cost. Contract length. And PCI compliance surcharges.
