What it does
Sells card machines, a virtual terminal, pay by link and an online gateway to small businesses in the United Kingdom, but is not the acquirer: it says it is licensed by Mastercard and Visa Europe as an Independent Sales Organisation and Member Service Provider, and that the business must enter into a separate contract with an acquiring bank nominated by takepayments for the processing of card transactions.
