The most popular payment method - and still growing

According to recent research*, UK consumers now spend more with their credit and debit cards than they do with cash.  We may not be a cashless society yet, but with more and more businesses now accepting cards - and the ever increasing use of plastic for online transactions - it seems clear that credit and debit card use will continue to grow.

At Bank of Scotland, we've provided credit and debit card processing services for thousands of customers since 1991.  We work with First Data International, one of the industry's leading providers of card acceptance solutions and a business with a presence in more than 80 countries.  You can be assured that this expertise will be brought to your business.

Dedicated customer service and competitive rates
Our aim is to make credit and debit card processing as straightforward for your business as possible.  Whether you accept cards face-to-face, over the phone, by mail order or online, Bank of Scotland Merchant Services has a range of options - including the latest terminals - ideally suited to your business.  Payments by cardholders are processed daily which means that funds are credited, automatically, to your account within three to four working days.

Our dedicated customer care helpline is available Monday to Saturday 8am to 9pm, with experts ready to answer any queries you may have.  Of course, excellent customer service has to go hand in hand with competitive pricing - which is why we always aim to offer you the most competitive rates we can for accepting cards.
