Negotiate volume rates and integrate payments across every channel
At enterprise scale, the right partner is about interchange-plus pricing, uptime guarantees, PCI DSS compliance and API integration — not a flat monthly fee. We compare providers built for that.

Best choice for general acquiring: Adyen
All enterprise pricing here is quote-only, so "best" means the strongest starting position for your negotiation, not a fixed number. Adyen's single platform for online, in-store and in-app payments and its indicative 0.95-1.15% + 11-13p range (still quote-confirmed, not published) make it the most defensible default for general card acquiring at this scale.
Different job, different pick: GoCardless
If most of your enterprise revenue is recurring or invoiced rather than card-present, GoCardless isn't a competitor to the acquirers above — it's a different rail (direct debit, not card acquiring) that sidesteps card scheme fees entirely for that portion of revenue, and it's the highest-scoring provider on this page.

Frequently asked questions
What is interchange-plus pricing?
It charges the card scheme's actual interchange fee plus a fixed markup, rather than a blended flat rate — cheaper than flat-rate pricing at higher volumes. See our Flat-Rate vs Interchange-Plus guide.
Is there a minimum volume requirement?
Most enterprise providers work from custom quotes rather than published rate cards and expect meaningfully higher volume than a standard merchant account — confirm directly with each provider.
How does this differ from a standard merchant account?
Enterprise adds multi-currency settlement, dedicated risk teams and deep API/ERP integration. See our Merchant Accounts comparison for simpler, lower-volume needs.
