Improved CBA Smart Business link
We're pleased to announce a significant upgrade to our Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) integration, which offers faster processing and more payment options. If you use CBA-integrated EFTpos now, this enhanced system will revolutionise how you handle transactions and manage your business finances. I suggest you upgrade now if you use or want to have CBA.
Key Features at a Glance
- Much faster EFTPOS and credit card processing
- No premium card surcharges, e.g. American Express acceptance
- Digital wallet compatibility
- Real-time financial insights
- Enhanced security features
Faster, More Stable Processing
The enhanced CBA Smart Business system delivers significantly faster and more stable processing. Tests show up to 30% quicker processing times. This means shorter queues, happier customers, and more efficient operations for your business.
Multiple Payment Options
Beyond basic payment processing, this enhanced integration delivers several key benefits for your business:
Diverse Payment Landscape
The new system provides a comprehensive range of payment options to cater to all your customers' preferences:
- EFTPOS payments
- Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express)
- Digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay)
No premium card surcharges
A standout feature is that you can confidently accept cards without concerns about premium card fees.
It opens up a new customer base, as 22% of Australians now carry an AMEX card and prefer to use it. I know a lot of corporations that issue expense accounts; people can only use them if the retailer accepts AMEX.
Digital Wallet Compatibility
This enhanced system fully supports digital wallets with the rise of contactless payments. In Australia, 40% of consumers now use digital wallets for in-store purchases, making this feature crucial for modern retailers.
Real-Time Financial Insights
The CBA Smart Business integration provides real-time insights into your cash flow, allowing you to:
- Monitor transactions as they occur
- Generate detailed reports
- Make better business decisions as you have up-to-date financial data
This level of visibility can be a game-changer as it makes reconciling much easier.
Enhanced Security and Backup Features
Security is paramount in today's digital landscape. I doubt you will have a problem with CBA, and if something goes wrong, you have local support, which many smaller providers cannot provide.
Operational Efficiency
Streamlining your payment processes can significantly improve your day-to-day operations:
- Faster transaction processing reduces queue times
- Simplified accounting and reconciliation saves you hours each week
- Automated reporting frees up time for other essential tasks
Improved Customer Experience
By offering a more comprehensive range of payment options and faster processing, you're enhancing the customer experience. It can lead to:
- Increased customer satisfaction
- Higher likelihood of completed sales
- Potential for repeat business and positive word-of-mouth
Implementation and Support
Upgrading to the new system is a straightforward process:
- Contact our integration team
- Schedule an installation date
- Receive on-site training for you and your staff
- 24/7 technical support
Conclusion
It offers a comprehensive solution to improve efficiency.
