Payment consultancy · UK & Ireland

Understand First.Recommend Second.

Independent payment consultancy helping UK & Irish businesses make better payment decisions.

Payments are rarely as simple as choosing a card machine or finding the lowest transaction rate.

From card acceptance and payment gateways to EPOS, ecommerce and payment infrastructure, the right solution depends on your business.

We understand your requirements first. Then we help you find the right solution.

The problem

Payments shouldn't be complicated.

The payments industry can be difficult to navigate.

There are acquirers, payment gateways, PSPs, EPOS providers, terminal providers, ISOs, processors, pricing models, integrations and countless different products and propositions.

For a business owner, understanding which solution is actually right for you can be difficult.

That's where Omnipay comes in.

We help you understand the options, ask the right questions and make informed decisions.

Omnipay provides consultancy-led payment solutions for businesses across the UK and Ireland.

We work with businesses to understand their current payment environment, identify their requirements and determine where improvements or opportunities exist.

Where appropriate, we can then help identify and introduce the right payment technology, providers and solutions.
