Sway for customers

Why you should pay with Sway
instead of cards

Help small businesses by paying with Sway

Did you know that £48 billion per year is spent on card fees? The average card transaction fee in the UK is 1.7%, and small businesses are the most affected by it. Pay with Sway so they don’t have to pay transaction fees.

Enjoy payment safety like never before

Over £1 billion is lost every year to card payment fraud. Small merchants and consumers are the most affected. When you pay with Sway we require Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), which means it reduces fraud risk by 99% when compared to cards. It’s the safest way to pay.

Bank transfers

As you’re paying through a bank transfer, your bank is responsible for handling the money movement, not us.

Fraud risk reduced by 99%

When you pay with Sway you can rest assured that only the payment amount will leave your account, nothing more.
