October 2025 Winner
Lachie, Anytime Fitness North Lakes
We interviewed Lachie, the owner of Anytime Fitness Northlakes, QLD who is our October $2,000 ‘refer a friend’ winner! Read what Lachie had to say about Smartpay and the win below!
Congratulations on the win! Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your business?
I'm an Anytime Fitness franchisee. I started in the fitness industry in 2010 as a personal trainer at an Anytime Fitness gym in Brisbane. After three years, I had the opportunity to open my own club, and I've loved the journey I've been on ever since.
How did you join Smartpay and how has your experience been?
I decided to move from another provider that had a higher fee but was linked to redeeming Qantas points. After a review, I saw I could save a significant amount in fees if I made the switch.
What made you recommend Smartpay and make the referral?
I have 3 businesses, so it made sense to use Smartpay across all three.
What advice would you give to business owners who are tentative about switching EFTPOS providers?
It's been a fairly seamless process & Smartpay have a dedicated team member who can run through your business and the possible benefits to switching.
How does it feel to be the lucky winner? Any ideas on how you might spend the $2,000?
I'm in Thailand at the moment and want to do some diving so it will go towards that!
Where can people find and/or support you?
We are based in the Northlakes area, if someone lives local and needs support on their health and fitness area we'd love the chance to show them how we are different.
November 2025 Winner
Jodie, Artevo Aesthetics
We interviewed Jodie, the owner of Artevo Aesthetics, NSW who is our November $2,000 ‘refer a friend’ winner! Read what Lachie had to say about Smartpay and the win below!
Congratulations on the win! Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your business?
I’m the owner of Artevo Aesthetics, a results-driven aesthetics clinic focused on advanced skin treatments, injectables, and personalised skin care. We pride ourselves on providing high-quality treatments in a welcoming, professional environment and building long-term relationships with our clients.
How did you join Smartpay and how has your experience been?
We joined Smartpay after looking for a more cost-effective and transparent EFTPOS solution. The onboarding process was simple, and the team made the switch seamless. Our experience has been very positive — reliable machines, easy settlements, and excellent customer support.
What made you recommend Smartpay and make the referral?
The savings on transaction fees and the straightforward pricing made a real difference for our business. On top of that, Smartpay’s customer service stands out. When something matters to your business, you’re happy to recommend it to others.
What advice would you give to business owners who are tentative about switching EFTPOS providers?
Do the numbers and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Switching was far easier than expected, and the long-term savings and service quality made it well worth it. If a provider can save you money without compromising reliability, it’s worth the move.
How does it feel to be the lucky winner? Any ideas on how you might spend the $2,000?
It’s an amazing surprise and incredibly appreciated. The $2,000 will likely go back into the business, whether that’s upgrading equipment, investing in marketing, or improving the overall client experience. I couldn't be mor grateful for the support.
