How does this card reader connect to the internet to process the payment? I ask, as where I sell tours on street, the wifi isn't very reliable

The card reader connects to the phone via Bluetooth. The card transaction is done via mobile data on ur smartphone. I'm a taxi driver so it's perfect for me. You can get a PayPal card reader which has no extra charges, where as sum up charges 2% on every transaction.

What bank details will I need to load on the app for the payments to go through to myself? And is it safe?

It depends on how you define safe. As a seller it is probably safe, though for your customers it is a different matter. When they are typing in their PIN code you can see what they are typing on your telephone screen. i.e. you will see their PIN, which is not exactly ideal. I tried to raise this with them and they refused to even discuss the matter. I'm sure they are aware of it and hopefully they will rectify it as otherwise we will get customers refusing to pay if it is via SumUp.
