If you want to accept debit or credit card payments through a card machine, online or over the phone, you’ll need a merchant account.
What is a merchant account?
The merchant account is the link between you and your customers. A merchant account will check there are enough funds in a customer’s bank account to complete a transaction. If the correct funds are available, the payment will be accepted and funds from debit and credit transactions are deposited into the merchant account and will be released into your bank account in 3-5 business days.
To start processing transactions through our systems, you will first need a merchant number. You can apply for merchant numbers through your acquirer or apply for an account by using our own merchant account services. Currently, there are three types of merchant numbers accepted by Opayo: Ecommerce, Mail Order, Telephone Order (MOTO) and Continuous Authority. Click here for more information.

When you have a merchant account through Opayo, you have the ability to accept transactions via a range of payment methods from online payments, face-to-face payments and virtual terminal payments. Our payment options are designed to suit your business requirements.
Whether a customer wants to make a purchase in-store or from the comfort of their home online, you will be able to cater for them. It’s important to know you may need multiple merchant accounts depending on how you accept payments. If you have multiple store locations with a card machine, we advise having a merchant account for each location. Similarly, if you want to accept online payments, you’ll also need a merchant account, even if you have one for your brick and mortar store. You will also need a different merchant account if you want to take card payments over the phone or via mail order
