Nobody likes paying fees. But what if we told you that's perhaps the wrong question?

Instead of asking:

"How do I pay less?"

Perhaps we should be asking:

"What value am I getting in return?"

Our blog explores the hidden value behind modern payment acceptance and why focusing on cost alone can sometimes become the most expensive decision of all.

A real-world story shows how a small sports club lost tens of thousands in revenue by avoiding card fees and limiting payment options. The piece unpacks what merchant service fees actually fund, from consumer protections to global acceptance, and why removing them comes with hidden trade-offs.

Why carry two terminals when one does it all?

Some providers still expect merchants to have:
• One terminal for EFTPOS (CHQ/SAV)
• Another terminal for payWave and credit cards

That's two devices.
Two things to charge.
Two things to manage.

With EFTPOS One, every payment goes through a single terminal.

✅ CHQ & SAV EFTPOS
✅ payWave
✅ Visa & Mastercard
✅ Apple Pay & Google Pay
✅ Open Banking Apps

One terminal.
One monthly price.
One less thing to worry about.

It just makes sense. Learn more - https://www.eftposcentral.co.nz/

Before you get excited about their "special offer"...

Take a closer look.

How many extra monthly fees are hiding underneath?

👀 SIM fees.
👀 Network fees.
👀 Feature fees.

With EFTPOS One, they're already included. Because we think paying for the essentials... twice... doesn't make much sense.

Welcome Back Paymark!

While the name may be returning, payments have never stood still. We’re excited to continue working alongside Cuscal Paymark and Cuscal Limited as we help shape the next generation of payments in New Zealand.

After more than 40 years at the centre of New Zealand's payments infrastructure, Worldline New Zealand has joined Cuscal and rebranded as Paymark. For EFTPOS Central customers, nothing changes day-to-day. Here is what the transition means, and what it signals for payments innovation in New Zealand.

💡 Introducing MultiMerchant on Feitian & EFTPOS One!

What if one single terminal could serve up to 8 unique businesses - each with their own account, settings, and reporting? That’s exactly what MultiMerchant does, powered by EFTPOS Central and the Worldline network.

Why it’s a game-changer:
✅ Perfect for collaborative spaces - split the cost of a terminal across multiple businesses.
✅ Each merchant has their own settlement, prompts, surcharges, and choice of payment types (EFTPOS, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPlus, Centrapay, etc.).
✅ Switching between merchants is as simple as tapping their name on screen.

Where this works beautifully:
🏥 Medical centres – multiple practitioners sharing a clinic space.
🏪 Community stores & co-ops – several sellers under one roof.
🎗️ Charity initiatives – allow donations to go directly to the chosen charity.
🎨 Shared studios – art, photography, or craft spaces where multiple creators sell.
💆 Wellness & personal services hubs – massage therapists, physiotherapists, acupuncturists, hairdressers or counselors sharing one space.
🎟️ Events & pop-ups – festivals, markets, or expos where multiple vendors sell from the same terminal.

MultiMerchant isn’t just smart tech - it’s smart business. It reduces cost, simplifies reporting, and makes collaborative spaces more practical than ever.
