Pricing
No long-term contracts. Structured rates designed for high-value transactions.

Are You Overpaying for Card Payments?
Built Around How You Actually Operate.
Funeral directors handle some of the most significant financial transactions of their clients’ lives. A single arrangement can run into several thousand pounds, which means that even small differences in your card processing rates can have a material impact on your business over time.
At Paynetworx, we work specifically with funeral directors across Lancashire, Greater Manchester, and the surrounding areas to ensure card payments are structured correctly for high-value, low-frequency transactions. We regularly review accounts where funeral homes are being charged retail-level processing rates that simply don’t reflect how their business operates.
Our approach is straightforward: we review your current setup, explain exactly how your rates are calculated, and tell you honestly whether there is a more cost-effective structure available. There is no obligation, no pressure, and no jargon.
Common Pricing Issues We Identify
What We Regularly See Across Lancashire
When reviewing accounts, we commonly find:
Rates that have increased gradually over time
- Introductory pricing that no longer applies
- Long contracts with limited flexibility
- Pricing structures designed for retail rather than high-value transactions
- Lack of clarity around the true effective rate being paid
In many cases, funeral directors are paying more than they realise.

The UK team are always available when needed, be it Anthony in North West as our representative, or the Head Office in Essex, and it is reassuring to know that the service desk is also based in the UK.
Our card terminal has been faultless, and all charges are clearly explained with complete transparency. They also reviewed our previous provider’s fees and successfully reduced our monthly costs.
We would not hesitate to recommend them.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Do funeral directors need bespoke card payment rates?
Yes. Because funeral transactions are high-value and lower in frequency than retail, standard retail processing rates often lead to higher costs for funeral businesses. Paynetworx structures pricing specifically for this transaction profile. |
Can funeral directors take card payments over the phone?
|
Yes, though phone (CNP) payments carry higher fraud risk and processing costs. We typically recommend our Virtual terminal, a secure Pay-by-Link email system as a safer, lower-cost alternative for remote or pre-arranged payments. |
Is there a contract for funeral director payment services?
Paynetworx offers rolling contracts with no long-term tie-in. Pricing is fixed within your agreement — we do not increase rates mid-term. |
Does Paynetworx cover funeral directors outside Lancashire?
Yes. While Anthony’s primary territory covers Lancashire, Greater Manchester, and surrounding areas, Paynetworx provides card payment solutions for funeral directors across the UK. |
How long does it take to get set up?
Up to 5 working days, it can depend on the paperwork provided by the merchant Anthony manages the process personally from application through to installation. |
