Zeller unveils the first next-generation payments and POS solution designed and engineered in Australia

26 August 2024

The new Zeller Terminal 2, with a built-in point-of-sale app, redefines all-in-one payments and POS for businesses by combining industry-leading design, customisation, innovation, and affordability. 

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – Zeller, the Australian fintech reimagining business banking, today announced the launch of Zeller Terminal 2 — a powerful all-in-one payments and point-of-sale solution for businesses of all sizes. In addition, the new Zeller POS Lite – a free, customisable point-of-sale app built-in to Zeller Terminal 2, enables businesses to manage inventory and track sales without the need for costly hardware or signing agreements with multiple providers.

The new Zeller Terminal 2 offers premium design and unparalleled customisation at an affordable price point, setting a new benchmark in payments and POS technology to exceed outdated hardware offered by local and global providers and incumbent banks.

Zeller Terminal 2 not only includes a free, built-in point-of-sale app that enables businesses to create items, discounts, modifiers and variants, track inventory, send itemised receipts, and manage their entire sales operations directly from the terminal, but it also integrates seamlessly with over 600 third-party POS platforms.

In a commitment to reducing the environmental cost of paper receipts, Zeller Terminal 2 supports email, SMS, and a new downloadable QR code receipts, having eliminated the traditional receipt printer. The terminal also delivers enhanced security for merchants and cardholders alike by prioritising acceptance of more secure payment methods such as EMV chip cards, contactless cards, and mobile wallet, having removed the traditional magstripe card reader— reducing the risk of credit card fraud, which the ABS estimates impacts over 1.8 million Australians annually.

Zeller Terminal 2 was designed and engineered in Melbourne, with a unique hardware format never before seen in traditional EFTPOS terminals. It boasts Australia’s largest terminal screen (6.5-inch full-colour HD digital display) which allows businesses to select their preferred style by enabling the choice of light and dark modes, seamlessly adapting to any retail or restaurant environment. Additionally, Zeller Terminal 2 is the world’s first EFTPOS terminal available to purchase in three colours — black, white, and graphite, to complement any decor or business aesthetic.

Celebrating the world-first launch, Ben Pfisterer, co-founder and CEO at Zeller, said: "Zeller is proud to be a global leader in redefining the next generation in payments and point of sale, from right here in Australia. Zeller Terminal 2 is the most advanced, affordable, all-in-one payments and POS solution anywhere in the world. While other banks and providers are raising their fees, Zeller is dedicated to delivering premium products at affordable prices. We’re helping Australian business owners to streamline their operations, deliver a better customer experience, and ultimately survive and thrive.”

"Designed and engineered by our team here in Melbourne, the launch of Zeller Terminal 2 marks another significant milestone for Zeller. In just over three years, we've delivered more financial services, payments, and POS innovation into a single platform, and are excited to introduce next-generation solutions to support our customers across Australia and see a positive impact on their businesses.”

“We love that we can make the new Zeller Terminal our own,” said Aaron Chan, Zeller customer and co-founder  at Kings Domain Barber Shops in Melbourne. “Style and design is important to our brand at King’s Domain, so the fact that the terminal complements our aesthetic, looks sleek, and is customisable, means it suits our business perfectly. Plus, being able to accept all cards – including AMEX – at one low flat fee, is a huge win.”

Zeller Terminal 2 is available today exclusively at myzeller.com for the affordable retail price of $199.
