Hair Success Stories

When Rosa opened her hair salon 23 years ago in Drummoyne, NSW, she thought the most convenient way to process EFTPOS payments was with a bank provider. However, with business costs rising, Rosa started growing sick of paying the monthly EFTPOS fees and the lack of support from her bank.

When JW Hair made the switch to Zero Costs™ EFTPOS, not only did they save $12K p.a. – they finally got a reliable terminal. “When you’re already paying the bank $12,000 a year in card fees, having a terminal connection that constantly drops out just adds insult to injury,” says owner Jonathan.

Hairstyles come and go, but for Bailey & Co Hair Salon in Black Rock one thing was constant: ever-rising EFTPOS fees. That all changed when owner Marcia switched to Zero Cost™ EFTPOS from Smartpay and those fees disappeared, saving the business $17,000 a year.

And, if you’re a small business that wants to shave thousands off your bank fees by getting rid of card transaction fees, you should talk to Smartpay about Smartpay Zero Cost™ EFTPOS, says owner Rowena. “I recommend Smartpay Zero Cost™ EFTPOS every day whenever I’m speaking to other small businesses. I think it’s a wonderful concept; it’s the way card payments should be done.”

“I’m not the most tech-savvy of people, and I was delighted how seamless the setup process was. Switching the merchant facility from my bank was straight forward. The surcharge is calculated automatically, so we just enter the purchase amount, and it’s done. Our staff love the simplicity of the automatic calculations. It’s just tap-and-go.”
