Global Tech Solutions supplies terminals under its own contracts with regulated UK providers. Account terms, transaction fees and payment processing are governed by the provider you sign up with.
Introduction
The Right Machine for How You Actually Trade
A terminal that sits on a counter has different requirements from one carried between tables or taken out to a customer's door.
We start with how your business takes money: where you trade, how often you move around, whether you need to print receipts, and whether payments must reach your account quickly. Then we match that to a terminal from one of our partner providers.
Because we also build websites, run order lines and handle finance support, we can see how the terminal fits alongside the rest of your operation rather than treating it as a box to ship.
