Product Details

What is SumUp?

SumUp is a financial technology company that enables businesses to accept card payments at the Point-of-Sale or on the go in a simple, secure, and cost-effective way.

It offers an end-to-end EMV card acceptance solution built on proprietary hardware and mobile apps. This unique offering enabled SumUp to rapidly expand into 16 markets, including the U.S., Brazil, and Germany, making it the mPOS company with the largest global footprint. The company has gone on to develop a full suite of SDKs and APIs for third parties to integrate card payments into their mobile apps. SumUp has been backed by renowned investors, including Groupon, BBVA Ventures, Holtzbrinck Ventures, and American Express. In April 2016 SumUp has merged with the mPOS company payleven to create the global leader in mobile payment.


The London, England-based fintech company was established by Stefan Jeschonnek, Marc-Alexander Christ, Daniel Klein, Petter Made, and Jan Deepen in 2011.

A reliable and simple to use way of taking card payments, where you get paid quickly!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I typically use SumUp to sell books and products at exhibitions and events. It makes it easy to sell these products to customers and people who wish to make their purchase using a credit or debit card. Although there are other options available now, when I originally chose SumUp, the options for taking card payments were much more limited and a lot more expensive (often with monthly fees attached in addition to transaction fees).
Pros and Cons
  • Works reliably
  • Fast payments
  • Nice UI
  • Integration with other apps
Likelihood to Recommend
It works very well because the card reader can be easily carried in my bag or the event box that we take to exhibitions. It connects quickly and easily to my phone and we've never had any issues with taking the actual payments. Funds are then transferred to our bank account very quickly. I can't think of any circumstances where it wouldn't work well for us as I haven't experienced any!
Most Important Features
  • Reliability
  • Ability to set up and choose products at the point of sale.
  • Fast payments to bank account.
Return on Investment
  • Have been able to make sales to customers who don't have cash - increased revenue.
  • Trustworthy as a recognised brand - gives us credibility.
Alternatives Considered
I particularly wanted a reader that had a screen (so the customer could see the amount being paid) and one that offered chip and pin entry as well as contactless. Some of the other providers I looked at didn't have those features. I compared the apps also and SumUp's app offered the nicest, and most easy-to-use, overall experience.

Needed a mobile solution for an outside bar for one of our clients, we looked at a few other solutions but SumUp was by far the best for what we needed to achieve. Very easy to customise the tills with images to make it easier for the staff, the mobile app worked really well for outside ordering and all the SumUp peripherals work really well and look cool too.
Pros and Cons
  • Customisiation
  • Ease of use
  • Peripherals
  • The ability to add categories within a category.
Likelihood to Recommend
Very easy to customise, great for outdoor events, and has a good range of peripherals. Very easy to customise the tills with images to make it easier for the staff, the mobile app worked really well for outside ordering and all the SumUp peripherals work really well and look cool too.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use SumUp on a personal basis, it is very useful for me, it saves me in many payment situations, and it is an option with excellent credit card payment processing rates and an attractive advance rate. Use in a check out for example. I recommend its use.
Pros and Cons
  • High pass rate
  • Easy control via portal
  • Values are correctly computed
  • Improve communication with merchants.
  • Have a chat on the merchant portal.
  • To have little monkeys with approximation.
Likelihood to Recommend
I strongly recommend its use as a means of payment due to its low processing rate and low anticipation rate, and because it has a high approval rate. In addition to having easy management via the portal with all the information clear and easy to find. They only take a day or two to respond to the shopkeeper, but they do
Most Important Features
  • Credit card machine
  • Accept debit
  • Have payment link
Return on Investment
  • Satisfactory
  • High approval
  • Low risk of fraud
Alternatives Considered
I strongly recommend its use as a means of payment due to its low processing rate and low anticipation rate, and because it has a high approval rate. In addition to having easy management via the portal with all the information clear and easy to find, this happens with Adyen too, you can use both without problems.
