Look beyond the device cost (£129 + VAT), and you see that Revolut has some of the lowest transaction fees on the market – just 0.8% + 2p for UK consumer cards, with no separate terminal subscription or maintenance fee (you need a Revolut business account, which start from £10 per month). Those savings add up over time, especially if you’re a high-volume business.
On top of that, you get access to sales analytics for crucial performance insights; you can request digital tips from customers; you can add colour-coded products and categories to your store catalogue; and the battery lasts all day.
