You see what your clients pay in card processing fees on every set of accounts. Introduce them to Merchant Advice and we produce a cost-saving report for each one. You earn a revenue share of 10% up to 60%, or pass it on to your client.
Every practice works differently. Choose the route that fits how you advise your clients.
You spot high card fees in a client's accounts and pass us their details. We review their statements and come back with a cost-saving report.
Introduce a group of clients who take card payments. We produce a cost-saving report for each, so you can see where the savings are.
Prefer not to take a fee? You can choose to pass your commission on to your client, so they get the full benefit of the introduction.
The programme suits anyone who sees a client's card processing costs and wants to help bring them down.
You prepare accounts for small and medium businesses and see card processing costs as a line item every year.
You reconcile card settlements every month, so you see exactly what clients pay in fees and charges.
Cutting costs and improving margins is your remit. A cost-saving report gives the board a quick, tangible win.
Accountants earn a revenue share of 10% up to 60% of the processing revenue on each client they introduce, or can choose to pass it on to their client.
Professional bodies such as ICAEW and ACCA expect members to disclose referral fees and commissions to clients. Written terms make that disclosure straightforward.
Your advice carries your professional reputation. These are the reasons clients come out better off.
Each client gets a report showing what they pay today and where the savings are, so the benefit is on paper.
We only recommend a switch when it saves the client money. If they are already on a good deal, the report says so.
Declined clients and high-risk sectors are a core part of what we do. We work with acquirers that underwrite them properly.
Clients get UK-based customer service and account management from their provider, not a call centre queue.
When a client's card fees look high, most practices either leave it, refer to one provider, or work with an independent broker.
| Option | What the client gets | What it leaves with you | Merchant Advice view |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leave fees as they are | No change for the client. | A cost line that often creeps up after introductory rates end. | Easy, but card fees are one of the few costs most clients never review. |
| A single provider's referral scheme | One provider's rates and a referral fee. | Clients that provider will not take, or that would be cheaper elsewhere. | Limited to one provider's pricing, which is hard to call independent advice. |
| Merchant Advice accountant partner | A cost-saving report across providers, and a revenue share you can keep or pass on. | Introducing the client and disclosing any commission you keep. | Built for practices that want to add value with independent advice. |
We give you independent advice to pass on, a report to back it up, and terms in writing.
We compare across multiple acquirers and gateways, so the recommendation is not tied to one provider.
A cost-saving report for each client gives you something concrete to discuss at year end.
Take the revenue share of 10% up to 60%, or pass it on to your client. Your choice, agreed in writing.
