Methodology

How we worked out the fees

We looked up the published card, Pay by Bank and Direct Debit payment fees for the UK’s 9 leading payment service providers, and compared them to our own Standard pricing. All prices were taken from the providers' public pricing pages on 17 August 2026. Please be mindful that pricing can change.

Working out the real cost

Card fees usually look small until you do the maths. Most providers charge a percentage of the transaction, plus a small fixed fee and some cap the total, or set a minimum.


So the actual cost is: (percentage × transaction value) + fixed fee, capped or floored where a provider publishes one.


For example: 1.5% + 20p on a £1,000 payment comes to £15.20. But 1% + 20p capped at £4 on that same £1,000 payment only comes to £4 or up to four times cheaper.
