Frequently Asked Questions

What is Low Cost EFTPOS?+

Payee’s Low Cost EFTPOS gives your business competitive blended or interchange++ rates from 0.79% including GST. You absorb the card processing costs yourself rather than passing them on as a surcharge — customers pay the price on the tag. Terminal rental from $29/month, no lock-in contracts.

What’s the difference between Low Cost and No Cost EFTPOS?+

With No Cost EFTPOS, transaction fees are surcharged to the customer (1.4%–1.6%) — you pay $0 but customers see a surcharge. With Low Cost EFTPOS, you absorb fees at a competitive rate from 0.79% — customers pay exactly the price displayed. Low Cost is also the smart choice given the proposed RBA surcharge ban from July 2026.

What is the difference between blended and interchange++ rates?+

Blended rates apply a single flat percentage to all card types — simple and predictable for budgeting. Interchange++ rates charge the true card network cost plus a transparent Payee margin. For higher-volume businesses with a large share of debit card transactions, interchange++ typically results in lower overall costs.

How do I get the 0.79% rate?+

The 0.79% rate is available for established businesses with a trading history we can review. We assess your existing statement, transaction volumes, card mix and industry. New businesses start at 0.9%–1.4% depending on industry. Call 1800 357 911 for a custom quote.

Does Payee integrate with my Point of Sale system?+

Payee integrates with 450+ Point of Sale systems including popular platforms used in retail, hospitality and trades. Our terminals support WiFi, direct LAN connection and standalone operation. Call 1800 357 911 and we’ll confirm compatibility before you commit — no obligation.

Why is Low Cost EFTPOS the smart choice ahead of the RBA surcharge ban?+

The Reserve Bank of Australia has proposed banning surcharges on Eftpos, Mastercard and Visa from 1 July 2026. If this proceeds, No Cost EFTPOS (which relies on surcharging) would no longer be viable. Getting on to Payee’s low-cost rates from 0.79% now means no disruption and no lock-in holding you back.

Are there any lock-in contracts or exit fees?+

No lock-in contracts, no exit fees and no cancellation fees. You can terminate with 30 days’ notice. Monthly terminal rental fees are not refunded or pro-rated. No startup fees apply. Terms and conditions apply.
