Devices stopped working partway through our one-off annual event - had to revert to cash at what was advertised as a "card only" event.

Hi,
We're sorry to hear that your devices stopped working during your annual event and understand how frustrating this must have been, especially when attendees were expecting a card-only experience.
We're glad you were able to speak with our team and get the issue resolved, but we appreciate the disruption this caused on an important day for your business.
We will be looking into the root cause of the problem and using the findings to help improve our service and prevent similar issues in the future.
Thank you for your feedback and for giving us the opportunity to learn from your experience.
Kind Regards

Someone came into my cafe

Someone came into my cafe, distracted me and managed to make a refund of £499 on a card that wasn’t even used in my cafe!!!

Cardnet offered to refund me £35 which was ridiculous to begin with and even that I didn’t receive.

Good Afternoon Pedro Vierira

We’re really sorry to hear about what’s happened and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It’s understandably distressing to be the victim of fraud, and we recognise the impact this can have on your business.
Having reviewed your case, we can see that a complaint was previously raised regarding this matter. The £35 payment you mentioned was offered as a gesture of redress linked to a specific element of that complaint, rather than reimbursement for the full transaction amount.
We also want to reassure you that, in line with regulatory requirements, we have provided you with the option to escalate your concerns further if you remain dissatisfied with the outcome.
Unfortunately, payment fraud continues to increase across the UK, placing added pressure on businesses to remain vigilant. We take fraud prevention very seriously and are committed to supporting our merchants with practical guidance. We’ve developed a range of resources, including a guide that highlights key risks across the payment journey and a free checklist to help strengthen day‑to‑day controls and build long-term resilience. https://www.lloydsbank.com/business/resource-centre/insight/payment-fraud-prevention.html

Many Thanks

New Relationship Manager

New Relationship Manager
We have been using Cardnet for a number of years and have just been assigned a new relationship manager -Jamie Padfield. We had our initial meeting this morning and Jamie was very thorough, knowledgeable and helpful whilst he went through what is available to us as a Company and he followed up after the meeting with everything that we had covered. Very impressed.

Excellent service from James Gale at CardNet

**Excellent service from James Gale at CardNet**

James Gale recently contacted me as our new account manager to discuss our account and asked whether we had any particular issues or pinch points.

I explained that our main frustration was with the handling of the occasional chargeback advice. Although we receive very few chargeback requests, these are sent by post to our registered office. As there is only a short response window, by the time they reach us there is often very little time left to respond, and there have been times we have been unable to respond and lost monies as a consequence

Before we had even had our scheduled conversation, James had already taken the initiative to help resolve the issue. He arranged access for us and also set up a daily email alert so we are notified whether or not there are any chargebacks.

This was excellent, proactive service. James understood the issue, acted quickly, and went above and beyond what was expected. A credit to CardNet.

Transfer to contract with cardnet

We currently use a pay as you go through cardnet but felt that a contract would offer better value for money. Figures were provided based on our merchant use to compare. Due to the nature of our business it required authority from several people (other than myself). This was all done via email, which was easy to follow.
My customer contact was Hanna L. She kept me up to date with the process and called me as and when agreed. It was pleasant to speak with an individual who knew about the product and didn’t just read from a script.
