For Romanian-owned UK businesses
Card machines for Romanian-owned UK businesses.
A Romanian-speaking card machine for a UK business is any UK-licensed card terminal (SumUp UK, Zettle by PayPal UK, Square UK, Worldpay UK, Dojo, takepayments) used by a UK-registered Ltd, sole trader or partnership whose owner does business in Romanian. Every UK acquirer accepts Visa and Mastercard issued by Romanian banks (BCR, BRD, Banca Transilvania, ING Romania) plus Apple Pay and Google Pay on cards added in Romania. Kartapay compares all six providers on price and contract terms in Romanian at /ro/operatori/ and onboards you in Romanian. We do not compare Romanian-domestic services such as mypos.com/ro-ro, NETOPIA or Banca Transilvania POS because they cannot settle into a UK business bank account.
If you run a UK Ltd, sole trader or partnership and Romanian is your first business language, you should not have to translate eight English fee tables to choose a card machine. We compare every UK-licensed acquirer and walk you through it in Romanian.
What Romanian UK SMEs typically ask
- "Can I get a terminal without monthly fees?" Yes , SumUp UK and Zettle UK have no monthly fee and no contract. Worldpay and takepayments require monthly rental and a multi-year contract. Romanian-language breakdown: Terminal POS fără taxă lunară.
- "Are my Romanian customers' cards accepted?" Every UK acquirer accepts Visa and Mastercard issued by any Romanian bank (BCR, BRD, Banca Transilvania, ING Romania). Apple Pay and Google Pay also work for cards added on Romanian devices.
- "Is Barclaycard / Lloyds / NatWest a good idea if I bank with them?" Usually no. UK high-street banks bundle a card terminal with the business current account, but the rates are 0.5-1.5% higher than standalone acquirers and the contract is harder to leave.

Important: we are not a Romanian-domestic site
Kartapay is registered and operated in the United Kingdom by Best Business Loans Ltd, Companies House number 16833937. We are not affiliated with mypos.com/ro-ro, sumup.com/ro-ro, NETOPIA, or any Romanian-domestic merchant service. We do not compare Romanian-issued POS terminals. We compare only UK-licensed acquirers who can settle into your UK Ltd bank account.
If you trade in Romania and not in the UK, this site is not for you. You should look at NETOPIA, mobilPay, or directly at Banca Transilvania POS.
