Common questions about EFTPOS machines

What is the main difference between EFTPOS machines?

A key difference between EFTPOS machines is that some integrate with point of sale (POS) systems and some are standalone, meaning you manually key-in the amount to be paid. Westpac also offers the EFTPOS Air app, which allows payments to be taken on compatible phones and tablets⁷. The mobile app has built-in POS features included at no extra cost.

All our EFTPOS machines are simple, reliable, secure and easy to use. They offer instant settlement (to a Westpac business transaction account) for your daily business takings and 24/7 technical support. The EFTPOS Air app offers same day settlement.

So, whether your business accepts EFTPOS payments at the counter or on the move, we’ve got you covered.

What’s the best type of EFTPOS machine for a small business?

This will depend on your specific business needs. You may want an EFTPOS machine that integrates with your point of sale (POS) system, so you don’t need to manually key-in the amount to be paid. Alternatively, you may be happy with a standalone terminal that accepts EFTPOS payments at a fixed location, or has wireless portability for at-table payments.

Whatever EFTPOS machine you choose, make sure you do your research to find the payment solution that's suits your business. Here are 8 questions to consider when shopping for an EFTPOS machine.
