RBS Worldpay...

What do SBF members have as an experiance of this service from RBS.

It's something I am thinking of taking on, for online payments.

Your comments would be appreciated.

Kind regards

Gordon

Worldpay, Streamline & FSB put a very strong package together. FSB gives you a streamline account with no monthly fees, no set up and reduced streamline transaction fees.

Streamline & Worldpay have a (very quietly marketed) package that gives you substantially reduced worldpay transaction fees, no set up for worldpay, and no monthly fees.

And it's a worldpay account with immediate payover, no retained funds for 4 weeks or other crazy system.

You'll have to dig around in worldpay to get to this offer, but as a combination it does work very well, and offers very good value for money.

Really playing devils advocate here but why limit yourself to Worldpay? OK maybe it appears on the surface to have a bit more credibility there are other options like Google Checkout and even Paypal.

At the end of the day if it's to test something initially then I would opt for one of the latter two as they can easily be switched off and you wont be incurring any monthly fees etc.

Just my 2p worth anyway

I would opt for both. In a having your cake and eating it kind of way.

Obviously it depends on your product/service/market, but if it's Joe Public then it cannot but help to offer worldpay and paypal or worldpay and google checkout.

As a merchant, i loathe paypal

, but as a buyer, i use it all the time, simply because it's very quick and easy. Partic for low value items.

As a merchant I usually advise PayPal for simplicity. A business account lets you take credit cards as well as paypal, so there's flexibilty. As a buyer, I find myself looking for paypal checkouts now, cos it's so goddam easy, just an email and a password and you're done.

Because Paypal doesn't operate here, I use Credit Card Processing & Merchant Account Services - Setcom. I've also recently come into contact with Moneybookers.com. Both "seem" okay.

That's an incredible offer! I might sign up for the FSB purely to get it.

There are a lot of people that do just that.

Sandra,

Do you need an RBS account for this deal, or can you get it on another business account?

stuarty · 30-06-09, 10:53

Worldpay is overkill for your business Gordon. Paypal is all you need.
