Excellent service - narrowed down suitable options for us to consider to two. We are very pleased with our new provider and would recommend Independent Merchant Services to provide truly independent comparisons - and for free! What is there not to like?
Darren was fantastic from start to finish. He made the whole process very easy for us and answered all my questions. Would highly recommend.
From 1st contact with Roger the whole process was seamless. As a small independent business we need to control costs and on Roger's advice we saved a great deal of money and it was an easy process to change suppliers and we were guided through each step fantastically well. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.
Darren Britcliffe was a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end. Listened to my requirements, understood which solution would fit my business needs the best and followed up all the way through. Thoroughly recommended.
Much better and cheaper than our last provider and there’s always help from their customer services.
Darren explained the role that he plays and arranged quotes which showed significant savings compared to current provider. It was then easy to accept and change provider.
Gavin was excellent, provided brilliant advice for us to update and make savings on our card terminals. Highly recommended.
Sometimes you just stumble across a company which is absolutely brilliant and Independent Merchant Services is one of those. They really are a 5* and ‘must go to’ company!
I approached IMS as I had a 33% hike in fees in two years from Worldpay. don’t deal with cold callers. They asked a few questions about the business, gave two recommendations on new providers of which I chose the slightly more expensive one. I achieved a 2/3 reduction in fees. Great service throughout.
The recommendation that came back was that we are already on a competitive deal with our existing provider. This is a good indicator that the advice given is impartial and trustworthy.
Extremely helpful in finding a provider that suited my business and cut my costs dramatically. In one phone call Gavin gave me all the facts and figures. Would highly recommend. Wish I had found this company sooner.
Darren is definitely the man to go to. He gives a full understanding of the best offers available and it has been our pleasure to work with him for our company's advantage.
After hearing so many horror stories about companies not keeping the promises and not backing up the talk with action. I can say that Gavin has been amazing. This was been the easiest money saving exercise I have done for a long time. Thanks one and all!
Great communication. No pushy sales tactics. A very pleasant and easy method of switching card suppliers without the hassleplus they're available after switching if you have any problems or concerns. A good company to deal with.
Fantastic experience! Gavin was approachable, knowledgeable and made the process of choosing a new merchant services provider really simple.He was even on hand after the selection process to help with further queries. Would highly recommend.
