Our Services

Connect 4 Payments provides a payment processing comparison and advisory service. We help businesses compare rates, terminals, and services from multiple payment providers to find the most suitable and cost-effective solution.

Important

We act as an independent advisor and intermediary. We are not a payment processor ourselves. We do not process card transactions, hold funds, or provide financial services directly. Any payment processing agreement you enter into will be between you and the relevant payment provider.

03

Eligibility

Our Services are intended for businesses and individuals aged 18 or over who are operating or intending to operate a business in Ireland. By using our Services, you confirm that you meet these requirements.

04

Rate Check & Comparison Service

When you submit a rate check request through our website:

  • You agree to provide accurate and truthful information about your business and current payment arrangements.
  • We will use this information to compare available options and provide you with a personalised recommendation.
  • Any quotes, savings estimates, or comparisons we provide are indicative and based on the information you supply. Final rates and terms are subject to the payment provider's own assessment and approval process.
  • We do not guarantee that you will achieve any specific level of savings or that any particular provider will accept your application.
05

No Financial Advice

The information and recommendations we provide do not constitute financial, legal, or professional advice. Our comparisons are based on publicly available information and data provided by payment processors. We recommend that you conduct your own due diligence and seek independent professional advice where appropriate before entering into any agreement with a payment provider.
