takes less than 2 min.
This isn’t a sales call. It’s a practical assessment of your current provider setup, costs, and future plans. From there, we create a carefully selected shortlist of providers that match your profile, scale, needs, and ambitions.
If you’d like to proceed, we’ll introduce you directly to the right people and providers and help you secure tailored proposals.
Completely free. No obligation.
From Assessment to the Right Match:
We go through your current payment setup
We review your current PSP setup, payment mix, and growth plans, and identify any pain points or areas for improvement with your existing provider.
We identify the providers that fit your business
We look at your volume, markets, business model, and future plans, then select the providers or backup options that truly fit. You’ll receive your own personalised shortlist, free and without commitment.
We arrange tailored quotes and direct introductions
Where relevant, we connect you directly with the appropriate commercial or enterprise contacts, rather than sending you through a generic intake form. That means faster conversations and more meaningful discussions from day one.
You stay fully in control
You remain in control throughout the process, benefit from independent guidance, save valuable time in selection and negotiation, and reduce the risk of an expensive mismatch.

Independent, unbiased advice
We’re not tied to any single payment provider, and we don’t promote our own solution. Our advice is completely independent. No hidden incentives. No pushy sales tactics. Just an honest assessment of what works best for your business, based on your scale, markets, and ambitions. Our job is clear: help you choose the right PSP with confidence.
Broad expertise across leading PSPs
Many businesses only consider a handful of well-known PSPs. We look across the wider market: more than 100 providers. We know which providers are strong in cross-border acquiring, which deliver enterprise-grade POS, which offer better commercial terms at scale, and which specialise in subscriptions, platforms, or higher-risk industries. So instead of broad recommendations, you receive a targeted shortlist aligned with your volume, mode,l and growth plans.
Experience with high-volume merchants
For early-stage retailers and online businesses, many PSPs are perfectly adequate. But once transaction volumes increase, cross-border payments matter, or your setup becomes more complex, the differences between providers become critical. We support scale-ups renegotiating commercial terms, businesses diversifying across multiple PSPs, and omnichannel brands handling sophisticated flows, including refunds, chargebacks, recurring billing, and split payments.
No cost. No obligation.
An expert call is completely free. You don’t pay us anything. Not directly, and not indirectly through higher transaction fees. We only receive a fee if you choose to work with one of the providers we recommend. If you decide not to switch or stay with your current PSP, that’s absolutely fine. No invoice. No small print. No obligation.
Yes. The expert consultation is completely free and without obligation. You don’t pay anything for the advice, the analysis, or any introductions to payment providers. aboutPayments only receives a fee from a provider if you decide to work with them.
In short:
You pay nothing for the consultation, advice, or introductions
Our fee is not added to your transaction rates
You’re not tied to anything
Our only goal? To help you choose a payment provider that genuinely fits your business.
The expert consultation is designed for businesses processing at least £100,000 per month, or expecting to reach that level in the near future.
It’s particularly suitable for:
Businesses comparing their current payment provider
You want to know whether your current PSP is still competitive in terms of fees, contract terms, coverage, and performance.
Retailers and hospitality businesses looking for more efficient payment systems
Lower transaction costs, better POS integration, or one solution that works seamlessly across online and in-store channels.
Businesses with high transaction costs
You process significant volume and want to reduce both direct and indirect payment costs.
Businesses expanding internationally
You need support for local payment methods, multi-currency processing, and strong international or local acquiring (card processing with competitive fees and high approval rates).
Omnichannel businesses
You want one payment provider for your webshop, physical store, and mobile payments, with unified reporting and reconciliation.
Marketplaces and platform models
You’re dealing with split payments, sub-merchant payouts, and regulatory or compliance requirements.
Fast-growing scale-ups
Your current PSP is starting to limit you due to volume caps, risk reviews, performance issues, or technical constraints.
Businesses reducing dependency on a single provider
You want a second PSP (multi-PSP strategy) to improve resilience, uptime, and negotiation leverage.
You can still complete the intake form. We’ll let you know if an expert consultation isn’t necessary.
For early-stage or smaller businesses, we offer a faster and more efficient option:
Use our free Provider Selector to find the right payment provider.
With the Provider Selector, you can:
Compare multiple PSPs based on platform compatibility and fees
Get insight into costs, integrations, and supported payment methods
Quickly identify a suitable provider for your business
Yes, we also support businesses that:
Use POS systems and card terminals
Sell both online and in-store
Want to implement a Unified Commerce strategy
Are looking for one payment provider across multiple channels
The right payment provider can make a significant difference in fees, reporting, and overall customer experience.

What is Unified Commerce?
Unified Commerce is a strategy in which all sales channels - online, in-store, mobile, and customer service - are fully integrated into a single central system. Instead of using separate solutions for your webshop, POS, and payments across channels, you operate on a single, unified infrastructure for data, payments, inventory, and customer profiles.
The result? A consistent customer experience, real-time insights, and far less operational complexity.
If you process less than £100,000 per month and don’t expect to exceed that level in the near future, a full expert consultation is usually unnecessary.
At lower volumes, the differences between payment providers are often limited, and a complex selection process or negotiation rarely adds significant value.
You’re welcome to complete the intake form, but in many cases, we’ll recommend a more efficient route:
Use our free Provider Selector
With the Provider Selector, you can:
Easily compare payment providers
Get clear insight into platforms, POS terminals, fees, and integrations
Find a suitable payment solution for your webshop or physical store
It’s faster, more practical, and designed specifically for businesses with lower transaction volumes or simpler payment needs.
This is a focused business conversation - not a sales call.
We cover:
Your current PSP(s) and overall setup
Your payment methods or POS/terminal configuration
Monthly volume and growth expectations
Pricing structure and contract terms
Operational challenges (declines, chargebacks, reporting, reconciliation)
Expansion plans (new locations or international growth)
After the call, you receive — free and with no obligation:
A concise review of your current position
A shortlist of providers that genuinely match your needs
Optional warm introductions to the right contacts and tailored proposals
You decide what happens next.
Yes, we work with a wide range of payment providers, but we are not owned by, tied to, or exclusive with any single PSP. Our role is to match businesses with the provider that best fits their situation. We only introduce providers that are relevant based on your volume, business model, needs, and ambitions.
We are compensated by a provider only if you decide to move forward with them. You never pay us, and our fee is not added to your transaction costs. In short, we collaborate with providers, but our advice remains independent and focused on what’s right for your business.
We typically respond within one working day.
In many cases, you’ll hear from us the same day, depending on when you submit the intake form. We’ll contact you via email, phone, or video call, based on your preference.
If your request is urgent, just mention it in the form, and we’ll prioritise it where possible.
No. You’re completely free to:
Stay with your current payment provider
Continue comparing options independently
Speak with one of the recommended providers
Do nothing at all
The consultation is designed to provide clarity, not to bind you.

Your information is used solely to:
Review and assess your situation
Contact you regarding your enquiry
Provide a tailored recommendation
We never share your details with payment providers without your permission.
Your information is only shared if you explicitly choose to be introduced to a provider or request a tailored proposal.
If you consistently process high volumes and your payment infrastructure is business-critical, your PSP is no longer just a tool... It’s a strategic driver of customer experience, revenue, margin, and risk management.

Process €500,000+ per month (or are scaling towards that level)
Operate internationally or plan to expand cross-border
Work with multiple entities or across different markets
Use multiple PSPs, or are considering a multi-PSP setup
Want to improve authorisation rates
Aim to optimise their acquiring structure
Actively renegotiate contracts and commercial terms
Want to reduce dependency on a single provider
