General
How to Transfer a Nayax Device to Another Operator (UK)
Transfer ownership of a Nayax device from one operator to another. This guide covers everything both parties need to complete the transfer form, what Nayax reviews after submission, and how long to expect the process to take. UK operators only.

In the UK, Nayax works predominantly through a network of resellers. When you sell or transfer a device, your original reseller initiates the transfer on your behalf. You cannot request this transfer directly through Nayax Core or by contacting Nayax UK Support.

Do not contact Nayax UK directly to initiate a transfer. Transfers must be started by your reseller. Contacting Nayax Support first will not start the process - you will be directed back to your reseller.
Distributors: You are the entry point for all UK & Ireland device transfers. When an operator contacts you to sell or transfer a device, you initiate the process on their behalf. If a transfer request comes into Nayax UK & Ireland directly, the team will refer the operator back to you.

Once the transfer is finalized, the device is removed from the Transferring Party's Nayax Core account and added to the Receiving Party's account. The new owner can then activate and manage the device under their Operator ID. Both parties typically receive confirmation from the Nayax team when the transfer is complete.
The transfer has been pending for more than 2 weeks.
Contact Nayax Support (UK) at 0203 455 4800 (Ext 2 - Onboarding Support) or email [email protected] to request a status update. Common causes include an outstanding account balance, a missing form submission from one party, or a compliance hold requiring additional documentation.
The Receiving Party cannot access their section of the form.
The Transferring Party must fully submit their section before the Receiving Party's portion becomes available. Confirm the Transferring Party has submitted, then try accessing the form again.
I don't know my Operator ID (DCS ID).
Your Operator ID appears in your Clearing Contract and Billing Report as the Nayax Core ID or Customer ID. You can also locate it through Nayax Core follow the How to Locate an Operator ID
The Receiving Party doesn't have a Nayax Operator ID yet.
If the new owner is not yet a Nayax customer, they should select "Register Here" on the transfer form to create a new Nayax Core account. Both parties must have an Operator ID before the standard transfer process can be completed.
I'm not sure if there's an outstanding balance on my account.
Log in to Nayax Core and check your Billing Report for any unpaid invoices. Alternatively, contact Nayax Support (UK) on 0203 455 4800 (Ext 3 - Finance & Admin) or email [email protected] - they can verify your account status and confirm whether any balance needs to be cleared before the transfer proceeds.
