Locksmiths card machine questions
Can I take payment in the middle of the night?
Yes. Payments can be taken any hour, and the funds settle on the next working day.
Can a landlord pay over the phone?
Yes. MOTO payments are supported, which is common when a tenant is locked out and the landlord is elsewhere.
Do I need signal at the door?
The terminal uses a 4G SIM. In very poor signal it can also connect to WiFi if one is available.
Is there a monthly charge?
No. The first terminal is free with a £0 monthly bill, so quiet nights cost you nothing.
Can I email a receipt?
Yes, straight to the customer or landlord, which usually satisfies an insurance claim record.
