Understanding EFTPOS & the Benefits of Choosing Your Provider

Written by Kym Eaton | Aug 1, 2024 4:04:40 AM

In the world of retail and hospitality, ensuring seamless and efficient payment processing is crucial. One of the key components in achieving this is EFTPOS, a technology that has revolutionised how businesses handle transactions.

In this blog post, we'll explore what EFTPOS and POS is, how many POS providers offer this service, and how Triniteq empowers you to choose your EFTPOS provider for optimal flexibility and benefits.

 

What is EFTPOS?

EFTPOS stands for Electronic Funds Transfer at Point Of Sale. It is a payment system that allows customers to pay for goods and services using debit or credit cards at retail locations. The system electronically transfers funds from the customer's bank account to the merchant's account, providing a quick and secure method of payment.

EFTPOS has become ubiquitous in modern commerce, supporting various card transactions, including those from international card networks. It ensures that businesses can offer their customers a convenient and reliable payment option, enhancing the overall shopping experience.

 

How is EFTPOS offered in Australia?

Many POS providers in Australia offer EFTPOS as a standard feature, but not all of them give you the flexibility to choose your EFTPOS provider. Some POS systems come bundled with their own EFTPOS solution, meaning you must accept their fees without any room for negotiation. This lack of flexibility can be costly and makes it very difficult to switch EFTPOS providers if you decide to look for a better deal.

In contrast, POS providers like Triniteq allow you to choose your own EFTPOS provider, giving you the freedom to select the best rates and services for your needs. This flexibility is crucial for businesses looking to optimize their payment processing and reduce costs.

At Triniteq, we understand that every business has unique requirements when it comes to payment processing. That's why we offer the flexibility to choose your preferred EFTPOS provider when using our POS systems.

Here are some of the benefits of this approach:
