Who am i?

Hi, I'm Ben.

I'm not a national call centre or a salesperson working to a script.

I'm a local businessman with years of experience analysing business costs and helping companies improve their payment systems.

I've Been in Your Shoes

Before becoming That Card Machine Guy, I spent over 18 years running my own successful retail business, where I accepted card payments every day. Like many business owners, I was focused on serving customers—not constantly reviewing merchant statements or negotiating payment rates.

During those years, I used several different card machine providers and experienced first-hand what many businesses still face today. I was told I was getting "the best rates available", only to discover hidden charges, extra monthly fees and costs that were never mentioned during the sales process.

I also know exactly what it's like to be bombarded with cold calls from card machine companies, energy brokers and telecommunications salespeople, all claiming they can save you money. It becomes frustrating, time-consuming and, after a while, it's easy to ignore them all.

That's why I decided to do things differently.

I don't believe in high-pressure sales or confusing jargon. I believe in giving honest, straightforward advice based on real business experience. If I can save you money or improve your payment setup, I'll explain exactly how. If you're already on a great deal, I'll tell you that too.

Having used multiple payment providers myself, I understand the strengths and weaknesses of different card machines, payment systems and merchant services. That means my recommendations aren't based on a script—they're based on years of using the technology in a real business, combined with my experience helping businesses across East Anglia and the UK reduce their payment costs.

At the end of the day, I don't just sell card machines—I help business owners make informed decisions, keep more of their hard-earned profit and choose a payment solution that's genuinely right for them.

I review merchant statements every week for businesses across Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and throughout the UK.

Sometimes I find substantial savings.

Sometimes I don't.

If you're already receiving excellent rates, I'll tell you.

That's how I believe business should be done.
