How the fees work
Worldpay's Simplicity plan combines all card costs into one flat 1.50% per transaction with monthly terminal hire from 17.50 pounds, on an 18-month contract. Worldpay frequently runs offers that waive the terminal hire fee for a promotional period.
Businesses over about 75,000 pounds in annual card turnover can move to a custom plan starting from 0.75% + 4.5p on UK personal Visa and Mastercard, with terminal hire from around 10 pounds a month. Business, commercial and international cards cost more on both plans.
Worldpay is reliable and bank-recognised, but reviews flag mid-contract price rises and high early-exit charges, so read the contract terms carefully before signing.
