Web Merchant Services - Online Payment Solutions

The application process should take around 10 minutes to complete. Please note that you are in fact signing up for our service and not simply enquiring further. This means that if you are accepted you will be liable for payment.

Whilst there is a setup and annual fee, there is no application fee to pay so you can apply without risk*. We accept all major credit and debit cards for the setup fees so you can always put these on your card. Once we receive the relevant documentation from you, our Acceptance Team will then review it. You will receive approval of your application by email. It is at this point that a binding contract exists between us.
