Tyl by Natwest is a card payment solution tailored to small businesses, powered by one of the UK's largest banks. With an easy set-up process and next working day settlements, as well as other features to help merchants expand their operations, Tyl offers the ideal card payment solution.

Card readers come in various sizes, such as countertop models and portable kiosks that can be installed wherever needed. They accept chip and PIN numbers, contactless and mobile wallets from Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Apple Pay.

Card machines provide a range of POS functions, such as inventory management and customer loyalty programs. Furthermore, they have an app marketplace for adding extra functionality.

Tyl, though it doesn't offer as many reporting tools as competitors Stripe and Zettle, is an attractive option for small businesses that don't want to invest in EPOS software. Its transaction fees are comparable to SumUp or Square, plus there's a year-long lock-in period.

Tyl's free Reward program offers customers the chance to say thanks for their loyal patronage. Earn 10 Reward points for every PS1 spent with participating local businesses.

To set up your account with Tyl by NatWest, simply sign up online. Afterward, provide some basic details about your business so they can set up the necessary features on the Tyl Portal for free. Once completed, you can begin receiving payments and monitoring them via the free Tyl Portal.
