Card machines in Hove by business type
Taking card payments in Hove
Hove retains a distinct commercial character alongside neighbouring Brighton, supporting an established network of independent traders. Commercial activity centres around Church Road and pedestrianised George Street, stretching down towards the A259 Kingsway on Hove seafront. Local businesses serve a consistent year-round resident population, alongside visitors drawn to events at the County Cricket Ground or the coastal promenade. Rather than relying solely on seasonal spikes, shops and food spots here balance daily neighbourhood patronage with steady weekend trade.
Business Genie Payments supplies modern card payment hardware designed to match this everyday retail and hospitality environment. Teya Pro is built for quick contactless, chip & PIN and mobile wallet payments. The terminal switches seamlessly between Wi-Fi and built-in 4G fallback, helping keep payments running if an internet connection drops. Teya settles card takings the next working day as standard, and qualifying businesses can choose everyday or Instant Settlement options, with conditions and in some cases an extra charge.

Card machines in Hove: common questions
How quickly do card takings arrive in our bank account?
Teya settles card takings the next working day as standard, and qualifying businesses can choose everyday or Instant Settlement options, with conditions and in some cases an extra charge. This rapid access to daily takings assists independent retailers and hospitality venues across Hove with smooth supplier payments and predictable day-to-day cash flow management.
Can the terminal cope if our shop broadband goes down?
Yes. The Teya Pro terminal features dual Wi-Fi and mobile connectivity. If your premises broadband drops out, the card machine switches over to its integrated 4G SIM. This dual connection helps keep payments running smoothly so you never have to turn away paying customers.
Can you configure multi-site payments for operations across East Sussex?
