1. Transaction Fees & Pricing

• Trust Payments (AR Pay): Provides a full suite of online solutions, including e-commerce gateways, pay-by-link, virtual terminals, and recurring payments.

5. Contract Terms & Flexibility
• Dojo: Typically requires 12-month contracts with a free trial period.
• Trust Payments (AR Pay): More flexible contract terms, allowing businesses to choose between short-term or long-term agreements.

6. Customer Support & Service

• Trust Payments (AR Pay): Dedicated account managers and tailored support for high-risk businesses, including sectors that struggle with traditional banks.

7. Business Suitability

You know the benefits of business credit and how it’s calculated, but how do you improve it?

Tomorrow we’ll uncover how A R Pay can assist, but for now let’s get into some basic tips

1) Use your business bank account frequently, this helps establish banking relationships and demonstrate your turnover.

2) Automate bill payments and set reminders to ensure all bills are paid on time, this helps demonstrate your reliability.

3) Find out if any of your suppliers report to credit reference agencies. You can request they share your payment record data.

4) As a start up your personal finances may impact your business credit score because of the lack of available data. Try to keep them healthy.

5) Stay on top of your administration. Filing on time with Companies House and updating any changed information promptly will keep you in good standing.

6) Credit building products, which we’ll cover tomorrow.

In honour of financial literacy month A R Pay is launching a mini series about business credit for businesses which are often left out of the conversation.
