Built for UK Businesses
Fast Decisions
We approve most applications within 24 to 72 hours, including specialty merchants across the UK that other acquirers routinely decline.
Direct Management Access
You work directly with our team, not a call centre. Every UK merchant account includes a dedicated contact from day one.
Risk and Dispute Tools
Rapid Dispute Resolution by Verifi, 3-D Secure 2.2 compliance, and Ethoca and Verifi chargeback alert integrations.
Multi-Currency Settlement
Accept and settle in pounds sterling, euros, dollars, and over a hundred other currencies, with local acquiring where it fits your business.
No Onboarding Fees
Application, setup, and annual fees are waived. We remove the upfront cost barrier for UK merchants opening an account.
Chargeback Alerts
Traditional chargeback alerts via Ethoca and Verifi give you early warning on disputes before they escalate to chargebacks.
Works With Your Existing Stack

Payment Processing for UK Businesses
The United Kingdom is one of the most mature card-processing markets in Europe, with regulation from the Financial Conduct Authority, strong PSD2 enforcement, and a payments ecosystem built around tap-to-pay and Open Banking. Corepay supports UK merchants across standard and specialty categories with same-day underwriting decisions and dedicated account management.
We support card-present processing for high-street retail and hospitality businesses, plus card-not-present processing for ecommerce, subscription, and remote sales through our gateway integrations. Application and setup fees are waived for UK merchants, and most receive an underwriting decision within 24 to 72 hours.
Specialty Merchants in the United Kingdom
The UK has a large base of specialty merchants in categories including telehealth, online pharmacy, supplements, coaching, regulated gambling, creator content, and travel. If your business operates in one of these verticals and has struggled to find a UK acquirer willing to underwrite you, Corepay is the right partner. We work with specialty merchants every day and have the relationships and underwriting expertise to get accounts open quickly.
Every UK merchant account includes a dedicated account manager, access to our full chargeback and dispute tool suite, and direct management contact. Our London office is located at 53 Davies Street, and our team supports merchants across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
