MyGuava Business is helping Local Businesses in the UK Save Money on Payments

Published

myguava-business-is-helping-local-businesses-in-the-uk-save-money-on-payments

LONDON, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MyGuava Business helps small and medium-sized businesses in the UK to manage the challenge of payment processing fees, which have long been an unavoidable cost of operation. Whether through in-store POS terminals or online transactions, these fees directly impact profit margins, often leaving smaller businesses at a disadvantage compared to larger enterprises. 

 

 

Lowering Costs, Elevating Business

Traditional payment providers have maintained high transaction fees for years, offering limited alternatives to smaller businesses. MyGuava Business is changing this by providing local businesses with high-quality payment solutions that big enterprises enjoy but at a significantly lower cost, thanks to technology that was built in-house.

For in-store payments, our advanced POS terminals enable seamless transaction processing at just 0.6% per transaction on debit cards – a stark contrast to the industry standard range of 0.99%-2.5% (according to startups.co.uk report). This cost reduction translates into significant savings. Last year alone MyGuava Business onboarded a sizable number of small and medium size businesses across the UK. “We help SMEs save on transactions with our advanced fintech solutions – so they can focus on growth,” said Anar Jafarli, Head of Sales at Guavapay.

Beyond Payments: A Comprehensive Business Tool

A payment terminal should do more than process transactions. With every POS terminal purchase, a free corporate account is provided. This account functions as a fully integrated platform that allows these businesses to:

  • Track transactions in real time
  • Manage business finances more effectively
  • Streamline reconciliation and reporting

These added features ensure that businesses not only save on transaction fees but also gain greater control over financial operations – without incurring additional costs.

This means UK local businesses can operate with confidence, knowing they have a secure and cost-effective payment solution that works for them – not against them.

A Transparent, Business-First Approach

MyGuava Business does not rely on hidden charges or complex pricing structures. Instead, our model is built on:

  • Predictable, low-cost transaction fees
  • Cutting edge technology for seamless in-store and online payments
  • A free corporate account for enhanced financial visibility and control

For small and medium-sized businesses looking to maximise revenue retention while maintaining operational efficiency, this approach presents a clear advantage.

The Future of Business Payments Starts Now

In an economic world where efficiency and cost management are critical, businesses must reassess how payments are handled. MyGuava Business provides a modern, financially viable alternative – one that enables local businesses to reduce costs, increase control and focus on growth.

mexc-dominates-2024-perpetuals-surge,-secures-top-5-global-ranking

VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, experienced a substantial rise in perpetual futures trading volume throughout 2024. According to CoinGecko’s latest annual report, MEXC captured the highest market share in perpetual trading and open interest (OI) volume among all centralized exchanges.

Key Takeaways:

  • MEXC’s share of perpetual trading volume increased from 3% to 11% in 2024.
  • The exchange’s OI market share doubled in Q4 2024, leading all competitors.
  • MEXC entered the top five exchanges, with the total annual perpetual trading volume reaching $58.5 trillion.

MEXC’s share of the perpetual futures market grew from just 3% at the start of 2024 to 11% by year-end — a notable achievement driven by the platform’s deep liquidity, competitive fee structure, and innovative trading features. This performance placed MEXC among the top five centralized perpetual exchanges, collectively recording $58.5 trillion in trading volume for the year. This makes 2024 the most active year in the history of futures trading on the crypto market.

Throughout the year, MEXC showed steady growth across key metrics. Its perpetual trading volume share nearly quadrupled, while its OI market share doubled by Q4. The exchange’s strong focus on listing the most trending and in-demand tokens, combined with low fees in both futures and spot trading, has made it a go-to option for many traders worldwide.

The exchange received additional recognition from institutional reports such as TokenInsight, which stated the exchange captured the largest market share among centralized exchanges in February 2024, earning it a spot among the top 5 exchanges in overall market share. By identifying trends faster than its competitors, MEXC continues to strengthen its position among top-tier exchanges.

MEXC’s substantial growth in perpetual trading and open interest volume market share demonstrates the exchange’s emerging role as a major force in the cryptocurrency derivatives market. According to CoinDesk data, the exchange also captured the largest market share among centralized exchanges in February 2024, securing a place in the global top five for overall trading volume.

These achievements, supported by the platform’s comprehensive token offerings and methodical approach to capturing market trends, position MEXC as a key player in driving the evolution of cryptocurrency trading.
