...rather than take our word, here's what some of our Customers think of UKPS
Katy Webster Managing Director - The Vapour Rooms
I highly advocate UKPS on behalf of my company as prior to their services we were stuck in contracts with poor service providers whom were upping charges on us and constantly changing the goal posts. With UKPS taking over our card payment service and platform we now get clear and transparent billing. Great one to one personal service with advisors and best of all no hidden cost together with a fair contract length.
The personal touch with UKPS makes working with them so easy. Nothing is too much trouble, explanations are clear and any problems are dealt with speedily and efficiently.
The impact UKPS has provided to my company would be 'simplicity'. They have enabled me to get on with the important running of my company, rather than spending valuable time in being bogged down with Energy and Card transaction problems. Nothing is more valuable than time when running your own business and UKPS know this. The 3 years we have been dealing with them, the savings they have delivered, runs into the thousands. Thank you UKPS.
Bob Harffey Director - Student Heaven Properties
We are grateful for this opportunity to proffer our thanks to UKPS for handling the consolidation of some 40 separate utility accounts into just two. This took a tremendous amount of time and work on the part of UKPS with e-mails literally numbering in the hundreds with the utility companies continuing to live down to our expectations. UKPS eventually managed to get our accounts on the same billing cycles, correctly directed to our offices, and with correct readings and MPAN numbers. It really was a struggle and something that we are glad we did not attempt to undertake ourselves. Not only did UKPS save us countless hours on the telephone and writing e-mails ourselves but we now have a hassle free billing system with all individual accounts neatly collated onto just the two quarterly statements. Super.

Your Business Matters, so we support it
Multiple Merchant Banks
Alleviating Stress
We are registered with 2 of the Worlds leading Merchant Banks. This provides an ideal platform for us to deliver to you the best package for your business needs.
With so many options of transactions fees and additional charges, it can be easy to find your Business is not on the best overall package. UK Payment Services offer a no obligation full analysis of your current situation. By having alternative Merchant Banks, we ensure we deliver the best package for your Card Payment requirements.
Face to Face
Enabling Growth
During our initial discussions, we seek to discover which type of card terminal best suits your requirement. We do not try to "sell" you a machine that you don't need.
​
Having the correct card terminal is essential for enabling an efficient operation. Ensuring you have a smooth process for taking payments, increases your Customers satisfaction and driving growth.
Online/Virtual Presence
Saving You Money
The recent Pandemic has also impacted peoples buying habits. We have seen an exponential shift away from cash transactions and an increase in online/virtual shopping. Card Transactions that are not completed face to face, are a higher risk factor for fraud so therefore attract higher fees. We ensure that this does not become a huge cost to your Business.
​
We offer solutions for Payment Gateways for your website and have virtual terminals that can work on multiple device with Internet connectivity. With additional features like Pay-by-Link, UK Payment Services deliver the most efficient and cost effective methods for taking payments from your Customers.

Energy Procurement
In order to recommend the most suitable energy procurement solutions we have a dedicated team of energy procurement specialists that take the time to understand our clients’ business objectives. Our approach is to identify our customer’s attitude to risk and provide a bespoke strategy based on the energy consumption demands of an individual business. We achieve this by combining our market knowledge with the multitude of fixed and flexible contract options now available.
When going to market to procure energy contracts, there is no bias towards any particular supplier, which ensures we operate with complete independence at all times.
It is essential for businesses to be in control of their contracts and suppliers; this ensures a prompt reaction to market fluctuations so that the market lows can be exploited.
Contract Tendering
Our key goal is to secure the best price with the right supplier at the time of tendering. We provide a completely independent service with no affiliation to particular suppliers and always with our clients’ tailored strategy and requirements at the forefront of our minds.
​
Alongside our continuous monitoring of the energy markets, we are always busy behind the scenes completing tendering exercises to establish which suppliers are pricing most competitively at any given time and identifying new contracts/products that could benefit our clients. This enables us to simplify the decision-making process by short-listing the best supplier and contract offers, as well as providing our recommendation based on each client’s wants and needs.
Fixed Price Procurement
Fixed energy procurement essentially secures a price that remains fixed for the duration of the contract. Due to the volatility of wholesale energy markets, securing this type of contract remains the most common approach for UK businesses for a numbers of reasons, the main one being the budget certainty provided.
​
If fixed contracts are your preference, we are able to offer our clients both ‘fully fixed’ and ‘pass-through’ contracts; the latter are a slightly cheaper option but do enable suppliers to pass on any potential additional charges they are unable to absorb, for instance third-party network costs and renewable taxes.
Flexible Energy Procurement
Flexible energy procurement essentially provides an alternative, higher risk approach to energy procurement that may suit your energy procurement goals. Our procurement specialists support you in buying your energy across the full range of buying periods on an on-going basis, with your tailored strategy and requirements at the forefront of our minds.
​
Procuring your energy flexibly enables you to take advantage of movements in the wholesale gas and electricity markets, with our bespoke solution taking into consideration the level of risk and budget certainty required, whilst simultaneously considering the desired price opportunity.
Water Deregulation
Following the deregulation of the English water market in April 2017, businesses and public sector bodies (non-household) have been given the opportunity to switch all water services to a supplier of choice, benefitting from portfolio consolidation whilst also securing competitive contract pricing.
Our water procurement specialists will complete the tendering and procurement process on your behalf, based on your business requirements.
Once a decision has been reached, our in-house team support the transfer of your water estate and provide contract management support covering all aspects, from cost and consumption to environmental compliance and reporting.
​
The Scottish water market deregulation is more established where discounts improved over time. There are suggestions that future pricing reviews may see the English water market follow suit. Naturally, we are staying close to this and our clients will be the first to know of any significant developments as the market matures.
