I'm just in the process of changing my card provider -
HSBC are not helpful, chip and pin solutions are

I've recently been accepted as a 'provisional' member of a county arts guild - did my first show with them last week, and discovered that I can 'borrow' their chip and pin machine for a small fee (if its not being already used) and also that I can borrow their manual swipe machine for nothing... now thats what I call a very good deal

How do they go about getting the money to you Fi? Does it somehow go magically to your own merchant account or do they forward it later?

They post me a cheque I hope !!!!

That sounds like a great arrangement

I think I will eventually go down the hand held chip and pin terminal if I am going to do house parties and craft fairs - but there can still be problems with them if you are out of range (same as mobile phone technology). I think it will be more professional to say you have one rather than 'cash or cheques only', but time will tell.
