  Rate
  $20,000+ 1.45%

  Keycorp K23 $11.95 + GST per week (EMV/3DES capable)
  NB: EFTPOS NZ is introducing new global security standards for EFTPOS terminals. These new Visa and MasterCard standards are referred to as EMV and 3DES, and will ensure that you and your customers have the best protection for fraudulent card behaviour. These new standards will be phased in prior to 2008, and may result in a terminal or software upgrade for some customers. EFTPOS NZ will take care of the entire process for you.
  
  THE HOSPITALITY PACKAGE:
  In addition to full EFTPOS functionality we can offer a range of additional features appropriate for your industry: Pre-Authorisation Validates that the card presented is not lost or stolen at this time, and gives you the option of reserving customer funds. Please note, pre-authorisation is not a guarantee of payment. Detailed Reporting - The hospitality software allows additional reporting including Open Transaction, Shift Totals, and Hospitality reports, as well as the standard settlement receipts. This simplifies your reconciliation process, reducing errors and saving time. Open Transactions Allows you to swipe a customer's card and store these details within the terminal, meaning you can recall and complete the transaction without requiring the customer's card again. This is especially popular for those in the hotel or motel industry, and also for operating bar tabs.
  Please note: functionality differs between terminal types. Please see your sales consultant for more details To talk to EFTPOS NZ about this offer, please call 0800 EFTPOS (0800 338 767). Please quote your MANZ membership number
