"wont be long before they all charge 2.5% I am thinking of getting one but only for backup .Had trouble with Sum up myself on Saturday .No harm having another option and this one with its own chip covers all areas looks for strongest available signal."

Bank of Ireland must be using one of the already available phone networks.Unless it's attached to a statelite phone you're gonna lose signal with that one too.Your assumption that they'll all up their fees is inaccurate.The percentage thing is a load of bollox.It costs the exact same to move €5 as it does €5000.Why should the fee increase.BOI are robbers and always were..I wouldnt be promoting them.

Doesn't sound secure if it's jumping on random wifi connections John.

By my very rough maths 2.5% is over 30% more expensive than 1.69%.

Whats with the 1.69% ?
I only pay 1.42%.
FN were offering free sumup readers to all FN drivers (even if non-ambassador) last month with a 1.39% commission.

To balance the difference against lost fares you would be a long time in making up the €90 start-up fee.

The cheap clapped out Prius option is reasonably popular in London, particularly among cost-conscious riders. I hired (a slightly more expensive) Uber in London at the weekend and had to squash myself into a VW ID3... usually (or used to be) a Merc or Superb... damn enviro mentalists! I also hired a mincab from a cab office and was delighted to hear the word "Cash" stressed by the gentleman at the counter.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.
