Frequently asked questions

  • You don’t have to be a customer of Lloyds Bank or Bank of Scotland to use Cardnet. We assess each business individually to ensure you receive the right product and service, whether you’re a small but established business, a large corporation or just starting out.

  • No two businesses are the same. We therefore work with you to ensure you get the right service to suit your budget. The cost for secure payment services varies across product and transactional fees that apply to each payment received. It will depend on factors such as your card turnover, how you want to take payments and the product options you select. You will see a breakdown of your rates and charges before you sign up, so you fully understand what you’re agreeing to before you start.

  • A point of sale (POS) is quite literally a location or system where a customer exchanges money for goods and services. A point-of-sale system allows a business to accept and process secure payments from customers and keep track of sales. A modern POS system is usually either digital, where a transaction may occur virtually online or over the phone, or a form of card terminal that’s either fixed or portable, or a combination of the two.

    A POS system should allow your business to:

    • Calculate the total amount owed for any given sale
    • Accept payment by cash, card or virtually 
    • Issue an electronic or printed  receipt
    • Record the details of the transaction

    Today’s POS systems have additional features such as the ability to manage inventory, create reports that detail trend and customer habits, as well as connect to other supporting software to help bring multiple customer transaction outlets into one system.

  • Our product range accept all major credit and debit cards as well as digital wallets as payment, including Mastercard, VISA, American Express, Discover Global Network and Diners Club International, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay.

  • Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) is a set of industry standards designed to ensure merchants store and process cardholder data securely. Any business that deals with payment processing is required to meet these standards and keep financial data secure as well as cardholders protected from fraud.

  • From 14th March 2022 a greater level of authentication was introduced for online payments. Here are some useful documents we’ve developed to remind you of the process.
