The RBA is banning card surcharges on domestic cards. The cost of accepting payments can no longer be passed to customers via a card surcharge.

Interchange fee caps are also being cut, which should reduce acceptance costs overall. But only if you're on the right plan. Most venues aren't.

Our recommended providers

HEFTE has referral partnerships with these providers. We recommend them because they're genuinely strong options for hospitality and retail, not just because of the commission. Compare them against every major Australian EFTPOS provider on our All Providers page.
