Hello,

I want to look for a payment processor that will grant me a POS for my company based on consulting services, which will be paid monthly/annually. The value of the transaction can exceed 6-7 figures, and transactions are made in face-to-face meetings with clients at their/my location. The company is registered in the UK, but I would like to use a merchant account that accepts USD/EUR. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Best regards,
 
That just sounds like a bad idea, but if you insist and assuming you are based in the UK (resident), have a UK bank account, and the transactions take place in the UK, here are some popular options:

https://www.trustpayments.com/products/point-of-sale-payments/
https://www.lightspeedhq.com/
https://www.shopify.com/uk/pos

Some support DCC (Dynamic Currency Conversion) or multi currency processing. You might have to go through a sales cycle with them.

If you try to take the POS terminal outside of the UK, there's a significant risk that the terminal will be blocked. Accepting foreign cards is fine, though.

Most people that do something similar to what you're trying to do just email their clients a link from Stripe, Adyen, or other processor and take the payment online. For six-seven figure amounts, bank transfer is much more common.

Sorry for my english, i wanted to say 6-7 figures like 1000.47 or 10000.57, you understand the ideea.
In that case I finally understand why so many people claim to be making 6-8 figures.

Can I ask why you don't want to receive payments by bank transfer? It will still be hundreds of €/$ in fees if you take payments by card.
 
Bank Transfers may indeed be better for such high amounts or crypto.
