Target Market

Class of Consumer

Likely objectives and needs

A Consumer who operates a business which uses a Zeller payment terminal to accept payment from customers for the sale of their goods and services and who may opt to use the prepaid Mastercard provided with the Zeller payment terminal, which can be directly loaded with funds acquired from the sale of their goods and services in order to purchase eligible goods and services where Mastercard is accepted.

Likely financial situation

A Consumer who has an active Zeller terminal and who has Australian dollars acquired from the sale of their goods and services using the Zeller terminal to preload the Card and to pay any associated fees.

 

Product Description

A reloadable prepaid Mastercard with the following key attributes:

  1. ability to purchase eligible goods and services electronically where Mastercard is accepted using value loaded onto the Card;

  2. ability to load the Card to a digital wallet, allowing Cardholders to make purchases with eligible mobile devices;

  3. ability to transfer funds from the Card to an external bank account; and

  4. a requirement to preload the Card and pay fees (including foreign exchange fees).

In general, it is only available to Consumers that who have purchased a Zeller terminal as a means to acquire payments from customers of their business and who have activated and operate both the Zeller terminal and the prepaid Mastercard.

 

Appropriateness

EML considers that the product (including its key attributes) is likely to be consistent with the likely objectives, financial situation and needs of Consumers as it provides the means for Consumers to access funds acquired from the sale of their goods and services without the need to transfer funds to a Consumer’s bank account.

 

Distribution Conditions

Marketing and Promotion

A distributor must only market and promote the product through:

  1. advertising through media (including social media), physical marketing materials (such as banners, brochures or flyers) and any other marketing material available to the general public; and

  2. any other EML approved communication channels (including telephone, email and social media).

    This condition is appropriate as the target market for the Zeller terminal to which the product relates and is distributed in conjunction with is wide.

Retail Product Distribution Conduct

A distributor must only engage in retail product distribution conduct (other than general advice):

  1. only to Consumers who acquire the Zeller payment terminal as a means to acquire funds from the sale of their goods and services; and

  2. only through:

    1. the distributor’s digital platform (such as their website or mobile app) and other EML approved third party digital platforms; and
    2. any other EML approved communication channels (including telephone, email and social media).

This condition is appropriate as the target market for the Zeller terminal is wide and it is the most appropriate (and only) method for Consumers within the target market to obtain the product. Such conduct poses limited risk to Consumers.
