About CardRate
The hospitality-first card payments comparison.
CardRate is operated by Seamless POS Ltd, the company behind the Seamless POS hospitality system. Companies House registration #TBC.
How we earn
We earn a commission from everyprovider listed on this site — flat-rate readers (SumUp, Zettle), traditional acquirers (Worldpay, takepayments), hospitality bundles (Teya, Dojo, Clover). Because we're paid by everyone, we have no reason to push one over another. Recommending the right provider for your business is the strategy.
Our ranking methodology is published in plain English and the algorithm itself lives in source control.
The Seamless POS bundle disclosure
Seamless POS Ltd is the company that operates CardRate, and the Seamless + Teya integrated bundle is our own product. We disclose this clearly because the comparison ranking is not influenced by it — the bundle suggestion appears separately, below the ranked results, and only when your selected hospitality needs warrant it.
Founders
Paul Walton and Robin lead CardRate alongside the Seamless POS team. Bios + photos coming once Paul drops them in.
