Cook Relocations

"Last year when we just had cash, we were counting coins and notes at the end of the day. It was awesome to just jump on the app and see how much money we’d raised. We’ll definitely use it for fundraising, and I’d definitely recommend it to others … it’s literally on your iPhone!“

Grays Point Activity Centre

“[Tap to Pay on iPhone] and the EFTPOS Air [app] really helped me to have my day off again. I used to ask clients to transfer money to me. By the time I texted my bank details, it was a few days after I’d provided the service, then it would take a few days to receive the money. With EFTPOS Air, it’s immediate and it’s perfect.”
