Advantages: Low costs, accepts all UK cards, easy to use their site

Disadvantages: Rejects a few too many valid cards

NoChex is a payment provider very much like PayPal but aimed at the UK market.

They have been around for quite some time and I have had an account with them for 5 or 6 years now. In that time, I really haven't had many problems with them as far as I can see.

I do run a small website and take payments and this is where my NoChex experience comes in. There seemed to be a higher number of cards being refused when people try to pay with NoChex that other payment providers, such as PayPal. They also have restrictions on amounts that can be sent.

Last time I used them, their fees were lower than many of their rivals and they try to protect anyone selling from having money taken back off them. This might be why so many cards seemed to be refused.

An alternative to PayPal and a good one when PayPal only allowed payments in US Dollars, but NoChex are a little behind the game now and it seems not so many people are willing to use them.

They are a reliable company as far as I can tell.

Summary: Not a bad company, but with so many people on PayPal is it worth using them?
