We know that every business operates differently and a ‘one size fits all’ approach simply wouldn’t work.

We have a range of PDQ machines to suit every type of business. Our team of expert advisors will take time to get to know how your business works and discuss which PDQ machine will be best suited to you.

Unlike other providers, we won’t charge you a joining fee and you won’t pay authorisation fees, minimum monthly service charges or PCI DSS compliance and non-compliance fees.

We make taking card payments simple, so you can focus on growing your business.



 

What is a PDQ machine?

 

A PDQ machine is a device that is used to accept credit and debit card payments securely.

PDQ stands for “Process Data Quickly” and there are three main types of PDQ card machine. You can choose from a countertop, portable or mobile terminal; the one you pick will depend on how your business works.

There’s no difference between a Handepay card machine and a PDQ machine – it’s just a different term used to describe a card payment machine. You may also hear or see phrases such as ‘card terminal’ or ‘Chip and PIN machine’, they refer to the same piece of equipment and do the same job.

Our new Spire PDQ machines take all major credit and debit cards and are equipped with the latest contactless technology. They are also certified to the industry's latest security standard PCI PTS 4.0.

 

 

 

 

The benefits of taking card payments

 

It’s now an expectation for consumers to be able to pay by card wherever they shop and offering this option will broaden your horizons in the long term.

Are you missing out on sales and profits?

If you don’t accept card payments, your customers are limited to only spending the cash in their pocket with you. As more and more consumers now favour card payments over cash, you could be missing out on valuable sales.

Installing a Handepay PDQ machine will open up payment options for your customers, whether that’s by debit or credit card with a PIN or a contactless payment. It will also speed up queuing times with quicker transactions – as your customers can simply ‘tap and go’ with a contactless payment.

Even if you already take card payments you can still benefit from switching your PDQ card machine provider to Handepay. We will carry out a no obligation review of your current costs and if we can’t save you money we’ll give you £1,000!
