How ANZ compares

At best rates (0.5%), ANZ is competitive with fintech providers. At negotiated rates above 1.4%, fintech alternatives like Tyro, Square, or Zeller offer published, predictable pricing. Bank rates require negotiation and minimum volumes that suit larger merchants.

The only option with $0 transaction fees and instant settlement

Tyro, Square, and Zeller all charge a percentage of every card transaction and settle funds the next business day. QwikPay charges merchants nothing per transaction. Payments are processed through the QwikPay wallet via QR code, not through a card network. No interchange. No scheme fee. No merchant service fee. Settlement is instant and on-demand - withdraw to your bank account whenever you choose, not when your provider decides. QwikPay sits alongside your existing terminal as an additional payment option. Your current setup stays exactly where it is.
