Ian Young, Taxi Driver and SumUp Card user, said: “This card provides all the benefits a small business like myself is looking for. When taking payment for trips around Cheshire, it’s incredibly helpful to switch between my bank account and the SumUp Card to ensure that I always have access to the funds I need the very next day. I’d be lost without it now.”

According to SumUp figures, two million merchants currently use SumUp’s technology worldwide, with 5,000 joining every day.

The new card is currently available in the UK, Italy and France, with plans to extend the service in the next 12 months.

Jason Lane, EVP Market Development Europe at Mastercard, said: “We are delighted to be building on our partnership with SumUp with the launch of a business card. This extended partnership brings more innovation to micro, small and medium-sized businesses offering a convenient way for them to pay and be paid using the simple, speedy and secure payment experience they’ve come to expect from Mastercard anywhere in the world.”
