CARD MACHINES IN NEWCASTLE
Newcastle is home to over 300,000 people and is the youngest city in the North East, with an average age of 34. This age group commonly leave their wallets at home and opt to pay by card or digital wallet. If you are one of the 7000 small and medium businesses in Newcastle, here's how UTP can help you succeed.
At UTP, we provide our customers with a range of card machines, free benefits, and cheap rates. On average, we save our customers 30% on their card machine transaction rates.
Contactless card machines
Debit card payments are now the most common way to pay in the UK, being used in 57% of transactions. Out of the debit card transactions under £100, 93% were made using a contactless card. It isn't only the younger generations who are accustomed to paying by contactless. For the third year running over 65s have been the fastest growing segment for contactless usage.
Less and less people carry cash around daily. Instead, we opt for fast and convenient payment methods.
At UTP, our card machines can accept contactless payments in just four seconds.
For businesses, this enables you to serve more customers and keep queue times to a minimum. For your customers, this keeps satisfaction high and can even increase customer loyalty. We stock a wide range of card machines to suit any business needs. This includes countertop, mobile and portable card machines, which all accept contactless payments.
Same Day Payments
Many businesses in Newcastle struggle with cash flow issues. Most merchant service providers take up to four working days to pay funds into your bank account. Here at UTP, we can pay you in as little as an hour, thanks to Faster Processing. You can decide whether you want to be paid after each transaction or at the end of your working day.
Multichannel Payment Methods
Many businesses today use more than one method to accept payment. If you think about a restaurant, they might also offer a delivery and booking service. You might be able to pay for the delivery and booking deposit over the phone, online, or via a payment link. This is convenient for the customer as it saves them from coming to the establishment.
Protect Your Business
UTP Shield is our free anti-fraud software. We learn what your average transaction looks like and highlight anything that looks suspicious. We then notify you by email or text depending on the severity. If you get a notification about a suspicious transaction, you have the choice to accept or decline the offer. You can opt out of these notifications at any time.
