TillifyEFTPOS Alternative for New Zealand
Accept card and bank payments with no EFTPOS terminal, no monthly fees, and no lock-in contract. Tillify is the modern EFTPOS alternative built for NZ small businesses.
Works with ANZ, ASB, BNZ, Westpac, and Kiwibank plus Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, and Google Pay — powered by New Zealand Open Banking APIs.
No terminal to buy or rent
Traditional EFTPOS terminals cost $500–$800 upfront and $20–$50/month in rental. Tillify runs on the phone or tablet you already own — free to set up.
Works with any business type
Whether you sell at a market stall, from a food truck, or online, Tillify adapts. Print a QR code, share a link, or embed a checkout in your website.
Card and bank transfer in one
Unlike most EFTPOS alternatives that only handle cards, Tillify also accepts Pay by Bank — direct transfers from ANZ, ASB, BNZ, Westpac and Kiwibank — usually at lower fees.
No contracts, cancel any time
Traditional EFTPOS providers lock you into 12–24 month contracts. Tillify has no contract. Start or stop whenever you need.
