Andrew Nguyen, Business Development Manager, Abaki Pty Ltd - Practice 2000 & Medinet, comments on the partnership with Tyro Payments:

"Your team is definitely one of the best if not the best we ever came across."

 Practice 2000 is a comprehensive system that assists in the management of a medical practice. It now fully supports Medicare Easyclaim using Tyro’s Terminal simplifying the claiming process, allowing patients to claim their reimbursement by a rebate to their EFTPOS card at the surgery immediately after consultation and payment. It also processes bulk billed claims and gap payments in real time.

"I also would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for your support during the development and roll out phase of this project. Over the many years working at Practice 2000, we have worked with many vendors including government agencies and your team is definitely one of the best if not the best we ever came across."

Vim Sharma, who just bought Wanguri Supermarket in the Northern Territory, had this to say about his experience with Tyro. 

"It is rare to find this kind of customer service from large companies."

 I purchased a supermarket 3 months ago and found myself in a position where I only had a few days for the takeover.  Upon doing some research I requested Tyro for my merchant services.

I wish to express my gratitude towards two of your employees who were instrumental in having me setup in time.

Those employees were Craig Deering and Romesh De Mel.  On explaining my predicament to Craig, which is who I dealt with, together with Romesh in finance they pushed my application through and I received my terminal the day before I commenced trading.  The whole process took less than a week.

Tyro works all the time, and support always gets back to you straight away. Its works perfectly and we couldn’t be happier. We’ve never looked back.”

"Its also cheaper than the banks, the reporting system is better, the list goes on……even the patients love it because it has an element of privacy to the actual terminal…..they feel more secure, as we cannot see their pin going in……really best system I have used."

"...we are not supporting the Big Four Banking Cartel or the major retailers..."

 Tyro's integrated H&L EFTPOS solution offers liquor retailers awesome speed and special features like pay@car.

"The great thing about Tyro is that we are not supporting the Big Four Banking Cartel or the major retailers I compete with. I'll support any Co that attempts to break the Big Four's fees and control of the market."

An hour later the issue was resolved.

John says: "It's no wonder that Tyro is making such a good impression amongst small business. You can be assured that I will happily recommend Tyro to all my friends in business."

The delivery of the hardware and integration to our POS system was seamless. Our 16 Retail stores have had no down time and any minor issues were handled proficiently by their support team.

Tyro and the team at MPS have delivered exactly what they promised, an integrated system that just works.

Dreamwood Estate Bed and Breakfast accommodation offers the perfect base from which to explore the scenic delights of the beautiful Hawkesbury Valley and the surrounding Blue Mountains and Wollemi National Parks. The owner Peter Schmelitschek says:

"2.05 sec transaction time on an EFTPOS today from Tennyson NSW - you guys are the best:)"

 We decided to 'bite the bullet' and order an EFTPOS facility from our 'big 4 bank'. But then we learned that the Bank terminal needed a dial-up phone line, fees per deposit item and per transaction and minimum monthly charge fee. Fees on credit cards are all 'high'.

We switched to Tyro. Their terminal connects to the home data network or GPRS away from home at Alpaca Field Days etc. We use our existing personal bank account without bank fees and bought the terminal to minimise long term cost. Summary: Over several years Tyro costs less than half compared to the Bank option.

Tower Systems' point of sale and retail management solutions are used by more than 2,500 retailers across Australia. Mark Fletcher fights the EFTPOS fee increase and comments on the current US experience:

"This is an indication of where EPAL and their mates may be taking us and why the issue is much bigger than the current fight with EPAL."

 The US Banks began issuing cash cards in the 1970s as a tactic to automate services and cut labor costs -- more ATMs meant fewer bank tellers and check processing costs.

When swipe machines were first introduced in stores, banks actually paid some merchants to accept debit cards. Later, swipes became free, and once debit cards had become ingrained in consumer culture, banks began charging merchants, and the costs keep going up.

"...If there is one thing I would say about it, it is DO IT!"

 It is faster, easier and customers love the 'old school' terminal and its security features.

I haven't had a second of downtime and process speeds average about 2.5 seconds, as opposed to up to 15 seconds. Tyro's  Help Desk has real persons answering the phone and they are very helpful...

I love that the EFTPOS receipt and the tax receipt are all in one docket, with our POS messages on it.

It is the best thing we've done this year.

Dr Ron Muratore, who has PracSoft PMS and Tyro EFTPOS recently installed Integrated Medicare Easyclaim.

"The money is in our account much quicker. Instead of $3-4000 outstanding, we have more like $500 outstanding."

 Patients are paying at the time of consultation and bulk billed claims are paid in a day instead of 2-3 days. Financially, it makes a huge difference!"

Dr Muratore's practice manager, Jane Karakaidos says it's definitely overcome the obstacle of paying on the spot. "No one minds paying because they get their rebate in 11 seconds. I thought that was an obscure number so I asked a few patients to go to the ATM around the corner and tell me if the money was in their account. Sure enough, it was!

The workload has absolutely changed. We save time, storage and a whole lot of paper!

Surf Culture is a ‘core’ surf store located in the heart of the Eastern Suburbs beaches. Whoever is after a bit of ‘Surf Culture’ can come in and he will be well looked after!

"...The guys at Tyro are great: the problem we had wasn't theirs, but they fixed it all the same. You can put a face to the team."

 Our Internet connection wasn't working correctly, the broadband router kept losing connection to our ISP. If our network isn't working correctly, then we are unable to make EFTPOS transactions, and therefore sales are compromised at the counter area.

We called the guys at Tyro who came out right away and redesigned the network on the spot so it works flawlessly. The problem we had wasn't theirs, but they fixed it all the same.

We rely on our EFTPOS system for about 75% of our sales, so they wanted to make sure it worked all the same. They also called throughout the day and the day after to check on the system.

 We've been a Tyro merchant for several years now, and couldn't be happier with their service!'.

"In addition to lower transaction costs, we were able to use our internet connection (the terminal handles all the security issues) and discard the dedicated phone line for the traditional bank merchant terminal" .

".. Always happy to support an innovative company that can improve our bottom line - we're saving about $1,200 per annum ongoing.

"...I use Tyro and I love it! Keep up the good work!"

 You have reduced my costs and improved my EFTPOS service. The Tyro terminal looks good, is user friendly, allows me to offer "Cash outs' and is responsive to our needs.  More power to you. 

Please, take on the big banks, Westfarmers and Woolworths.  I lobby every MP and Industry Association every chance I get - bending their ear on the need to protect small business from the predations of big aggressive monolithic businesses with balance sheets bigger than small countries, who cannot wait to crush any and all opposition to their greedy advance.

The world will miss small independent operators when it's all over.
