Assumes tapbanc launch pricing — card 1.6% + 10p, Pay by Bank 0.5%, no monthly fee — and the provider rates published on sumup.com, squareup.com and zettle.com, correct as of 5 August 2026.

How it works

Three steps. Seconds each.

  1. 1 Customer chooses an amount

    Big, clear buttons on a 5.5-inch screen. Donors pick a preset or type their own amount.

  2. 2 Taps card, or pays by bank

    Contactless card works like any card machine. Pay by Bank shows a code — they approve it in their own banking app.

  3. 3 Money lands instantly

    Pay by Bank settles to your account in seconds over Faster Payments. No waiting 1–3 days.

The terminal

A proper terminal, wearing your name.

tapbanc runs on the Stripe Reader S710 — bank-grade payment hardware, not a tablet in a case. The screen is yours: your organisation's name and logo, your amounts, your appeals.

  • 5.5-inch Full HD touchscreen — Gorilla Glass, big legible buttons that donors of any age can use without help
  • Every way to pay — contactless, chip & PIN, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Pay by Bank on the same screen
  • Your branding, not ours — logo, name, colours and wording set for you at setup; change them any time from the dashboard
  • Your amounts and appeals — choose the preset amounts, and run named funds like "Building appeal" or "Friday collection", each tracked separately
  • Gift Aid on screen — the declaration is captured at the moment of giving, ready for your HMRC claim
  • Wi-Fi free, 4G backup optional — your Wi-Fi costs nothing; where it's unreliable, switch on the built-in SIM for £7/month, billed only while it's on
  • All-day battery — up to 15 hours of active use on a charge, so it works away from the socket
  • Receipts and records — digital receipts for donors, and a clean export for the treasurer
  • Locked-down and secure — PCI-certified payment hardware managed by Stripe; it only does what it's for

Counter stand and lobby stand included. Hardware and rates are on the pricing page.

For mosques, churches & charities

Card fees eat donations. Keep more of every gift — and automate Gift Aid on top.
