Independent review site for merchant accounts in UK?
Does anyone know of an INDEPENDENT review site for merchant accounts for small businesses (so they can accept credit card payments). Somtheing linke moneysavingexpert.com or moneysupermarket but for accepting credit card payments rather than making them?
I know one can visit individual providers, but I'm looking for an easy comparison site.

Hi Bob, Alison, so after much investigation, it does seem that rather like mobile phone tariffs, it is impossible to do a fair comparison across services.
Most helpfully, though, I did find that DK Virtual PA services will manage payments for you and that means they can pass on savings by combining costs across their portfolio of clients. Mention me to Kim or Debbie there and they'll do you a special deal.
Hope that goes someway to helping.

Hi Chris,
I've not come across a comparison site for payment providers/merchant accounts, and I guess no one else has judging by the lack of response to your question.
I suspect one reason is that rates etc are individually negotiated and another that terms and charges (as opposed to rates) change frequently.
If you do find one - please let me know.
