We are thrilled to announce that Martin Smith has joined acceptcards as an Associate Partner, bringing with him a wealth of experience, deep industry insight, and a shared vision for how payments and cash management should work together to serve organisations better.
Why This Matters
Since 2005, acceptcards® has built a reputation and business to become the UK’s largest independent payments broker, trusted by partner organisations to offer unbiased advice, negotiate optimal terms, and help simplify the often complex world of card and digital payments. Today, we’re taking the next logical step, consolidating our Accept Cash services in the cash management sector, to provide truly end-to-end solutions for our clients.
Cash remains a critical component for many organisations, from retail and hospitality to wholesalers, local services, charities, public bodies, and franchises with multi-site operations. But all too often, cash handling is overlooked, leaving hidden costs, inefficiencies, and risks unaddressed.
Introducing Martin
Martin brings years of experience in cash payments, financial services, and consultancy roles, with a track record of helping organisations grow
operations.
Through his consultancy, Martin will work alongside our team to:
- Design and implement cash management strategies tailored to identify and resolve inefficiencies in cash handling, cash in transit and reconciliation
- Integrate cash solutions with broader payment ecosystems (so cash and card channels don’t operate in silos)
- Provide high-quality advice, independent of provider bias, to ensure clients only have solutions that truly fit their needs
In the coming months, you’ll see case studies, whitepapers, and thought leadership content aimed at demystifying cash management and helping organisations across the UK modernise how they handle their cash takings.
Martin will be working with supplier relationships, engaging with clients and ensuring that our cash management and smart safe services uphold the same standards of independence, transparency, and client focus that Accept Cards is respected and known for.
We believe that payments, card and cash are two sides of the same coin, and by combining them under a single advisory service, we can deliver better outcomes for partners and clients, meaning fewer surprises with costs and fees, simpler operations, which gives more time for them to focus on the core of their business.
If you’re interested in exploring cash management solutions or understanding how your current cash processes might be costing you more than you realise, feel free to reach out. Martin and the rest of the Accept Cards team are ready to help.
Please join us in welcoming Martin to the team!
