ANZ FastPay spells early Christmas for businesses
Christmas has come early for many businesses with the launch today of ANZ FastPay, a convenient solution allowing merchants to process payments using their iPhone or Android smartphone.
With ANZ FastPay firms can complete Visa and MasterCard credit and debit card transactions any time, anywhere.
Business owners can download the free app and give FastPay a go for any period of time without being locked into a long-term contract. Rates are highly competitive, with no setup fee and a low monthly merchant fee of 3% per transaction (minimum $15 per month).
ANZ’s Managing Director, Retail and Business Banking, Fred Ohlsson said: “ANZ FastPay has been keenly anticipated by our business customers. Businesses want to spend their time making money, not chasing payment. We’re delighted we can now offer them this simple and highly-competitive solution enabling them to get paid on the job.
“This app is a real game changer which will make getting paid quicker and easier for a wide range of businesses, from plumbers and builders to mobile dog groomers. No longer will they have to chase up unpaid invoices when they can take payments on the run.
“That will be great for cash flow management, which is critical to any successful firm.
By listening to the changing ways our customers want to bank with us, we’re proud to offer this innovative solution to deliver on their needs,” Mr Ohlsson said.
