A card machine that costs you nothing to have, and less to use.
Countertop, portable and mobile terminals with no monthly rental.
The Detail
Card Machines, Explained
Most card machines in independent venues are rented. You pay a monthly fee for a terminal that was paid off years ago, and the rate on top is rarely the rate you were quoted.
Atlas supplies the machine free. No rental, no upfront cost, no monthly service fee. You pay a transaction rate, you can see it in writing, and it does not creep.

Common Questions
Three Quick Answers
Is the machine genuinely free?
Yes. There is no rental, no upfront charge and no monthly service fee from Atlas. Our income comes from the transaction rate, which we show you before you sign anything.
How quickly can I be taking payments?
Once the paperwork and checks are done, terminals are usually live within a few working days. We come out and set it up with you rather than posting it and hoping.
What if the terminal fails on a Friday night?
You ring Jamie, not a call centre queue. We keep replacement kit available and will get you trading again as fast as we can.
