Hospitality
The pressure in your sector has never been higher; competition is fierce, margins are tight and these days everyone’s a critic. Even when you’ve delivered the perfect guest experience, the payment process right at the end can too often be the one thing that lets you down. We’re here to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Corporate
Every business is different, but what’s common across all is the focus on profit. ‘Every penny counts’ is as true today as it was 100 years ago.
From considerable first hand experience over many years we know only too well that the average corporate business is focused on a wide range of activities. Whether that be:.
- developing new products and services
- winning new business or retaining existing major customers
- investing in new infrastructure
- upskilling existing and recruiting new staff
All of these activities are important. Commonly found at the top end of the priority scale are cost reduction and operational efficiency initiatives. Removing unnecessary cost and improving efficiency are sure fire ways to protect or increase profit. This is where Swipen comes in.
What’s important to you?
Trust – you need to know that your supplier is experienced, knowledgeable and capable of supporting your requirements today and into the future. What you need is a payments partner, not just a supplier.
Detail – you won’t just accept someone’s word, you need deep analysis of the numbers to provide the proof.
Value – you want to know that you are getting the best value possible on a holistic and life of contract basis.
Transparency – open book pricing is best for you as it cements the trust. You can see exactly what our costs and margins are – this is the essence of partnership.
Bespoke Pricing- You will likely have a ‘unique to you’ card acceptance profile where a generic set of payment rates based purely on your total turnover will simply make no sense. You need rates tailored for you by a partner who understands your business implicitly.
Reporting & Reconciliation – you have multiple outlets/stores/divisions and you need joined up and centralised reporting. This can maximise efficiency, ease the workload in end-of-day processes and ensure speed and consistency of funds settlement to your bank.
Innovation – Swipen is continually innovating directly and through partnership to offer our customer base additional value. Such as dynamic currency conversion, tax free shopping, integrated payment, loyalty, and promotion.
Support – you expect dedicated and proactive account management.
