Card machines for pubs

Take card payments at the bar, at tables or in your beer garden. Choose to buy, mix or rent a portable terminal, with rates fixed for your term.

Card machines for pubs need to work across the bar and seating areas. Our PAX A920 Pro is portable and has a touchscreen, built-in receipt printer, 4G SIM, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Its battery is designed for all-day use, while mobile connectivity helps staff take payments around your pub.

Choose to buy, mix or rent, with the same rates whichever option suits you. Debit card transactions cost 0.40% and credit card transactions cost 0.80%, fixed for the length of your term. We also provide free next-working-day settlement, so card takings reach your bank the next working day.

How our card machine fits your working day

Keep bar service moving

When the bar is busy, customers can pay by contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Your staff can take payment at the point of service, without sending customers elsewhere to complete the transaction. That can help keep service straightforward during a busy shift.

Take payment at the table

When guests are ready to leave after a meal or drinks, staff can bring the terminal to their table rather than asking them to return to the bar. A portable machine gives you another way to serve customers across your pub, especially when the bar is occupied.

Serve guests in the beer garden

On warmer days, customers may order or settle up outside. A portable terminal lets staff take payment in the beer garden, away from the fixed till. The machine needs a mobile signal to work there, so check the connection in the areas where you plan to use it.

Check your EPOS connection

If you use an EPOS system to manage orders, we can check whether our terminal connects to it. The PAX A920 Pro connects to many EPOS systems, but compatibility depends on your setup. Tell us which system you use and we can discuss the options with you.

Straightforward card payments for pubs

Our founder, Dave Evans, ran a post office and village shop, while his wife ran a shop and café. Frustrated by hidden fees and poor service from larger providers, he started Accepted Payments. We are a small UK card payment company based in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire.

You can speak to a real person in the UK about rates, terminal options or your EPOS setup. We deliver your terminal the next day after approval. If it develops a fault, report it before 4pm and we provide a free next-day replacement. Call us on 07798 822817, or send a recent card statement and we’ll show you what you’d pay.
