HTA welcomes Lloyds Cardnet as a Preferred Partner
 

The HTA is pleased to announce Lloyds Cardnet as its new card processing Preferred Partner.

 

Over the last year the association has been comparing rates and services from many companies to find an improved card processing deal for its members. The HTA has been working closely with Lloyds Cardnet to ensure the new Preferred Partner can provide the services most important to HTA member businesses. All HTA Preferred Partners are assessed for value and quality so that members benefit from the best possible terms.

Lloyds Cardnet has over 25 years’ experience and provides award winning customer service. As Cardnet is a major UK acquirer, they enable payments to be accepted from a wide selection of card types, and businesses will have the assurance of working with an experienced and trusted card payment services provider. There is a clear and simple pricing structure with no hidden fees and exclusive rates are on offer to HTA members, including no authorisation fees.

Commenting of the new addition to the preferred partner scheme, Martin Simmons, HTA Operations Director said: “We are thrilled to announce that Lloyds Cardnet as our new HTA preferred partner for card processing. We’ve secured a great deal for our members and hope many of them will benefit from the exclusive rates available.”

Alexandra Lee, Strategic Channel Manager for Lloyds Cardnet, commented; “The HTA has a real passion for its members and that’s what we look for with introducers that we work with, because we have a huge passion for our sector too. The HTA has a really exciting membership base, from the small independent garden centres to the large chains and we genuinely believe we can add some real benefits to each one of those businesses.”

To ensure a seamless transfer of services, Lloyds Cardnet has a dedicated and experienced team, so switching couldn’t be easier. HTA members can get more information about the competitive rates available from Lloyds Cardnet and details about how to switch, by contacting:
