Credit/debit Card Machine Rates

I am opening a new business for which I need a card machine.
Bank of Ireland do it through a company called Elavon.
However their rates seem quite high. 2.15% is the rate for personal cards.

Does anybody have a card machine with another service provider with better rates than this?
Streamline, for example?

The bank don't mind what provider I use.

OP, try Ulster Bank Merchant Services. Should do better than what you've been offered. If you expect large volume on credit cards you'll definitely get a better deal. If not, try to thrash out a better deal on Laser.
