What are payment providers?
Payment providers enable a business to accept card and mobile payments from customers, be it online or in-person.
They typically process credit and debit card transactions but may also offer alternative payment options like open banking or buy now, pay later (BNPL).
Examples of payment providers on Tuza include Barclaycard, Worldpay, Revolut and SumUp.
Why is it important to compare card payment providers?
Comparing card payment providers helps you find the best deal for your business.
Fees, features, and technology can vary widely between providers, so reviewing your options ensures you’re not overpaying for what you need and that you're using the most efficient, up-to-date system for processing payments on behalf of your business.
What payment methods can I accept?
Card-based payments
This category includes credit cards, debit cards, and prepaid cards. These types of payments are often processed via networks such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover etc. They are widely used for both online and in-person transactions.
Bank payments
This method includes payments made directly from one bank account to another. This method is often used for recurring payments like bills or subscriptions.
Digital payments
This is a broad category that includes all payments made using digital or mobile technology. This can include app-based services like PayPal, Google Pay, and Apple Pay. It can also include mobile payments made using contactless technology or QR codes.

Key things to remember when searching for a payment provider
Providers charge per-transaction fees, often including fixed costs and percentages of each transaction. Consider setup and monthly fees when choosing a provider based on your business size and transaction volume.
Find out how quickly the payment provider can process transactions and deposit funds into your bank account. While some providers offer same-day or next-day deposits, others might take longer.
Ensure the provider can process a variety of cards, including Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.
How well does the provider's system integrate with your existing infrastructure, such as your POS system, online store, or accounting software? Smooth integration can help reduce administrative burdens and ensure a better experience for your customers.
The payment provider should comply with all relevant security standards, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This helps ensure the security of your customers' card information.
Ideally, the payment provider should be able to support your business as it grows and evolves. This could include the ability to handle increased transaction volumes, support for multi-currency transactions if you expand internationally, or additional services like invoicing or recurring billing.
Some payment providers offer tools and services to help you detect and prevent fraudulent transactions. This can help protect your business and your customers.
Be sure to understand the length of the contract and any penalties for early termination.
Reliable and responsive customer service is crucial. Check if the provider offers support 24/7, and consider looking at reviews to see how well they handle customer issues.
