What is a Card Machine Broker?

A card machine broker acts as an intermediary between businesses and payment processing companies. They specialise in finding and providing the most suitable card payment solutions tailored to the unique needs of different businesses. Brokers have extensive knowledge of the various card machines, payment processors, and merchant services available on the market. We’ve worked with business from all sectors and industries so have a really good idea of what could work for almost any business. We do, though, make sure we listen to your individual needs and requirements because this is extremely important. 

Why Use a Card Machine Broker?

Expert Advice and Consultation: Card machine brokers have in-depth knowledge of the payment processing industry. They can assess your business needs and recommend the best payment solutions, saving you time and effort in researching and comparing different options.

Cost Efficiency: Brokers often have access to exclusive deals and discounts from payment processing companies. By leveraging their relationships, they can negotiate better rates and terms, potentially lowering your overall transaction costs. Saving money in this way can seriously add up over the course of a few months. We have a great track record for doing this for our customers here at BloomTech.

Wide Range of Options: A card machine broker works with multiple payment processors and can offer a variety of card machines, including mobile card readers, countertop terminals, and integrated POS systems. This ensures that you get a solution that fits your specific requirements and you don’t feel ‘bottle-necked’ into one particular system. You really do have an actual choice in the matter.

Simplified Process: Navigating the complexities of merchant accounts, PCI compliance, and payment gateways, hidden fees and contracts can all be daunting. A card machine broker simplifies this process, handling the paperwork and technical details, so you can focus on running your business.

Key Services Provided by Card Machine Brokers
