Hi
Just after some ideas and advice on hand held card machines.
Looking for a low cost one for band use at a small venue.
Any help appreciated.

Might be worth asking on the Small biz MoneySaving board.

Screwfix & Toolstation offer cheap mobile card readers.
No Idea of the associated costs though.

I use an izettle device, now probably called Zettle and owned by PayPal. It charges about 1.8 or 2% as I remember.

There's also SumUp and others I think - probably similar costs?

I have sum up, and its pennies per transaction

SumUp I think is 1.95% per transaction.

I use sum up no probs, If you know any one with a sum up account, get a link off them to join & you will get some money back

Another vote for SumUp - works brilliantly, good choice of machines depending on your needs and for me I use it so infrequently so the no monthly fees or payments if you're not using it is great.
