The Process

Five steps.
One outcome.

A transparent five-step process that assesses your options and delivers a clear recommendation: stay, switch, or renegotiate.

01

Upload a recent merchant statement

You send us your monthly merchant statement along with a handful of context fields about the business — turnover band, outlet count, current provider, current EPOS, and a decision-maker contact.

  • One statement is usually enough; two months gives better signal.
  • If the statement is unclear, we'll ask one round of questions.
  • No statement? We'll guide you on how to pull one.
02

We identify where you are being overcharged

Blended rate pricing can easily conceal where you are being overcharged. Our AI tool analyses every cost to find savings: interchange, scheme fees, authorisation costs, premium card surcharges, EEA & inter-regional fees, terminal rental, PCI, minimum service charges, and add-ons.

  • Price increases or hidden fees & charges identified.
  • The fees with the biggest impact on margin, ranked.
  • Anything unusual or above-market flagged explicitly.
03

We benchmark you against the UK market

We compare your current arrangement against credible alternatives from across the UK payments market — not just a favoured partner. Where relevant, this includes EPOS-integrated options, standalone terminals, and provider-direct vs broker routes.

  • Independent comparison of relevant provider offers.
  • Like-for-like commercial terms, not just headline rates.
  • Operational fit considered alongside cost.
04

We explain the results in plain English

You receive a transparent written report and a short call. We tell you whether staying put is right, whether a renegotiation would do the job, or whether a full tender is warranted — and the likely outcome in each case.

  • Findings report with the numbers and the rationale.
  • A 30-minute call to walk through it, with your decision-maker.
  • No sales pressure. The audit ends here if that's what you want.
05

If you switch, we manage it end-to-end

When the numbers justify a change, Modular runs the tender, handles the application, coordinates hardware and EPOS deployment, and stays involved after go-live for support and ongoing account management.

  • Offers from suitable providers, typically within 5 working days.
  • Deployment within 7–10 days of acceptance, subject to SLAs.
  • Modular remains your escalation point of contact afterwards.
