→MERCHANT SERVICES
A merchant facility is a service that allows businesses to process card payments from customers. It works by using an EFTPOS terminal or an online payment portal to debit the customer’s card for the transaction. The funds are then settled to the merchant’s account, providing a secure and efficient way to handle payments. This system reduces the need for cash transactions and manual payment methods, streamlining the payment process and improving cash flow management.
Through our partnership with CBA, we offer access to a wide range of EFTPOS and online merchant payment portal facilities. If you would like any information regarding any of the merchant facilities available, including their uses, how to arrange a facility or any associated costs, please contact the CDF.
→EFTPOS TERMINALS
Having an EFTPOS terminal on-site allows you to take card payments from customers for uniforms, school fees, donations, and fundraising payments, either in person or over the phone. This reduces the amount of cash you need to keep on the premises and helps reconcile your accounts, as payments taken through the EFTPOS terminal are deposited directly into your merchant account with the CDF each day.
In conjunction with the CBA, the CDF offers a variety of EFTPOS terminals to meet your needs. These range from simple POS technology for quick and easy over-the-counter payments to smart terminals with app functionality, providing extensive payment solutions for your customers.
For more information about EFTPOS terminals, including their uses, how to arrange a facility, or any associated costs, please contact the CDF.
