Account statement FAQs
Frequently asked questions about your statement
-
Why is my statement format now different?
To encourage more customers to be able to compare pricing, the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) has introduced these changes. We’re required to send these to all our customers with a card turnover of less than £50 million per year.
-
Will I get this new statement format each month?
Yes, these additional pages will now form part of your monthly statement. We’re not applying the summary box to previous (historical) statements.
-
Why aren’t all my charges detailed in the other monthly charges section on the new summary?
The summary box is designed to identify the most charged fees across acquirers as defined by the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR), so that you can use this information to compare your pricing.
-
Where can I find the charges that are not listed on the summary?
All charges that have been applied to your account will be listed on your statement each month.
-
Why does the summary box on my statement give me a contract end date?
If you have a rolling 30 day contract with us, your contract end date will always be 30 days from the point at which you give us notice. For the purposes of illustration, we have populated the date to represent the contract end date if you had have provided us notice on the day your statement was generated. You don’t need to do anything to continue to use our services, your contract will just roll on.
-
The end date on the summary is different to what I have in my contract or have agreed – what should I do?
If you are on a fixed term contract, please speak to your account manager.
-
If I want to cancel my contract, how do I give you 30 days’ notice?
We hope you don’t cancel your contract, but if you are thinking of doing so, please give us a call on 0800 161 5343 or speak to your account manager. If you lease your terminal through any other business, then you’ll need to contact them if you wish to close your account, as fees may apply.
-
I have more than one card reader. Why am I only seeing one price in the monthly charges section of my summary?
To provide a simplified summary, there is only space to capture one card reader charge. We’ve populated the most expensive terminal you have, so that we don’t mislead you into thinking all your card readers are at a lower rate. You can find the individual charges for each card reader within the monthly section of your statement.
-
I have different settlement terms on multiple outlets. Why am I only seeing one term on my summary and does this mean my settlement terms will change?
To provide a simplified summary, there is only space to capture one settlement term. We’ve populated the settlement details we hold for you at the billing point i.e., the level at which we generate your statement. If you have different terms across outlets these won’t change.
-
I have multicurrency on my outlets. Why can I only see GBP values on my summary?
The card summary box is designed to encourage more customers to compare pricing between acquirers. Since this regulation applies in the UK only, your summary box details have been converted into Great British Pounds (GBP), so that they can be easily used within the online quotation tool on our website, and other acquirers’ websites to compare prices. This will not change the currency of your settlement or billing and is for illustrative purposes only.
-
Will I receive a similar summary box for other products?
This new format applies specifically to acquiring only.
-
I take American Express (AMEX) cards as a method of payment. Why can’t I see this on my summary or statement?
Barclaycard don’t acquire your AMEX transactions, so you won’t see them on your statement. You’ll continue to receive your invoice or statement directly from AMEX.
-
I have recently changed my pricing with you. What period is covered in the rates shown?
The rates shown on your summary box reflect the rates applicable on the last day of the month in which your statement was produced.
