Card Machines & Merchant Services for Funeral Directors in Lancashire
Transparent
Pricing
No long-term contracts. Structured rates designed for high-value transactions.
We work with funeral directors across Lancashire, Manchester and surrounding areas to reduce card processing costs while keeping payments simple, dependable and professionally managed.
If you would like a confidential review of your current setup, we can assess how your pricing is structured and explain whether improvements can be made.
Understanding the Funeral Director Transaction Model
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.

See What Our Clients
Are Saying
We’ve had no problems with our Card Machines since being with Paynetworx, after a bad experience with a previous company. Ann was extremely helpful when she visited us & there is always someone there at the end of the phone if we need them (not that we have needed them!). Being Mobile Car Mechanics, the card machines are used in some remote villages, but again we haven’t had any problems. Highly recommended.”

Frequently Asked
Questions
Do funeral directors need specialist card payment rates?
Yes. Because funeral transactions are high-value and lower in frequency than retail, standard retail processing rates are often inappropriate. 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 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?
Most merchants are set up within 5–7 working days of approval. Anthony manages the process personally from application through to installation. |
