Vending Payments
Payments that work first time, every time
Every failed payment on a vending machine is a lost sale – and unlike a shop, there’s nobody standing there to fix it. Not only do you lose the revenue, but you run the risk of that customer not returning.
Attenda provides contactless card payments for vending and automated retail operators across the UK and Europe. Hardware, acquiring and support from one partner with 99.8% device uptime, next-day settlement and a dedicated team that answers the phone.
Proud to work with some of the UK’s leading vending and unattended retail operators.

How Attenda helps vending operators
Uptime, because there’s no plan B
High-uptime hardware rated at 99.8%, with 4G/5G roaming SIM and Wi-Fi-enabled devices, so connectivity is never the reason a sale doesn’t happen
More revenue from the machines you already have
Our payments setup is designed to increase payment success rates. Resulting in more completed sales without changing a single price. Operators moving to Attenda have seen sales uplifts of 18–28% in live environments.
Money in your account the next day
Our customers have the option to choose next-day and gross settlements, to help keep cashflow moving.
Competitive Acquiring
No bundled fees or confusing charges. Just competitive and transparent acquiring rates that you can read clearly on your invoice.
Reduce fraud and chargeback pressure
Unattended transactions can bring added fraud and chargeback risks. We help you monitor payment activity, understand disputes and work with the right payment partners to manage issues – protecting revenue and reducing the burden on your team.
Upgrade without the upfront hit
Flexible commercial structures that can spread hardware costs over time, so a device refresh doesn’t have to be a capital decision. This is usually the difference between changing provider and putting it off another year.
One number to call
Consolidated billing across your whole estate, 360-degree account management, and a UK support team. Devices, payments and support under one roof – so when something goes wrong, you know who to call.
