Taking card payments in Chatham

Chatham operates as the primary commercial and retail heart of the Medway area. Daily trade revolves around pedestrian footfall through the High Street, workers at the Medway Council administrative offices, and steady commuter travel through Chatham railway station and the Chatham Waterfront bus station. Surrounding attractions such as the Historic Dockyard and nearby green spaces draw visitors year-round. For local merchants, whether running town-centre shops, independent eateries, or services, maintaining fast customer turnaround during peak transit hours and lunchtime rushes is critical to sustaining day-to-day turnover.

Business Genie Payments equips Chatham traders with modern Teya payment solutions designed for consistent performance. Teya Pro is built for quick contactless, chip & PIN and mobile wallet payments. If Wi-Fi drops, Teya Pro can switch to 4G, although mobile coverage depends on your location. 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.
