How mobile credit card readers work

When your customer is ready to pay, you can simply carry your mobile credit card reader to them. Zeller Terminals are cordless credit card payment machines that process transactions using a secure Wi-Fi or mobile data connection. A hard-wired internet connection isn’t required.

These payment devices communicate with the customer’s bank, the processing bank, and your merchant services facility, as well as any other necessary parties. Before processing the transaction, the machine checks that the customer's account has the available funds needed to make a purchase. The machine will then facilitate the transfer of funds from the customer’s bank to your own to complete the transaction.

Process every sale with a credit card payment machine

Whether your customers want to pay with their cards, phones or smart watches, you’ll be ready to process every sale with Zeller Terminal. Zeller Terminal accepts:

• contactless cards
• contactless devices
• chip cards
• magstripe cards
• over-the-phone payments

Zeller Terminal accepts every in-person card payment for one low fee of 1.4%. There are no hidden charges or fees.

Sell from wherever business takes you

Payment doesn’t always happen at the counter. Credit card readers come with all the bells and whistles of a traditional EFTPOS machine, with the added convenience of portability, so your business isn’t limited by the length of a cord.

Australian businesses are growing increasingly more mobile, with popup bars, warehouse sales and pay-at-the table dining quickly becoming the norm. A mobile credit card reader can be carried to a customer’s table to settle a bill, moved from counter to counter at a store, or kept in a tradie’s toolbox for house calls. No matter what type of business you run, it’s convenience at your fingertips.
