Cardsave was originally formed in 1995 by an independent retailer, frustrated at the high costs of credit and debit card processing compared to those enjoyed by the large multiples. His vision was to work together with other independent retailers to drive cost down; Cardsave credit card processing is now used by over 32,000 members across the UK.

However you process, funds or transactions, we’ll work with you to build a solution specific for your needs.

Why is it so important to be able to accept donations or payments by card?
Recent research from APACS, the UK payments association, confirmed that 66% of all UK retail spending went through plastic cards in 2008, accounting for £372 billion. If your customers, members, supporters or donors are unable to use their card, there is every possibility that you are missing out on revenue and putting barriers in the way of impulsive giving or purchasing.
