With rates as low as 0.890% and no authorisation, joining or setup fees, independent businesses will find it hard to beat the preferential Bira rates. While other providers could have lower rates, monthly fees can easily add up to much more over the year so it's important to check all charges including terminal rental fees - with membership you'll have three months free rental if you're new to Global Payments and pay £12.95 +vat per month.
