Zeller, the Australian fintech firm, has launched the Zeller Terminal 2, a new all-in-one payments and point-of-sale (POS) solution. This new device, designed and engineered in Melbourne, aims to offer businesses an affordable, integrated system that combines payments and POS functionalities. The Zeller Terminal 2 is accompanied by the new Zeller POS Lite app, allowing businesses to manage inventory and sales without the need for additional hardware or multiple service agreements.
The Zeller Terminal 2 offers a modern design and customisation options at a price point designed to be accessible for businesses of all sizes. According to Zeller, this product seeks to surpass the limitations of outdated hardware from both local and global providers, including traditional banks.
A New Standard in POS Technology
Zeller Terminal 2 comes equipped with a built-in POS app that allows businesses to handle various sales operations directly from the terminal. This includes creating items, applying discounts, tracking inventory, and sending itemised receipts. The terminal also integrates with over 600 third-party POS platforms, providing flexibility for businesses with existing systems.
In an effort to address environmental concerns, Zeller Terminal 2 eliminates the need for paper receipts. Instead, it supports email, SMS, and downloadable QR code receipts. The device also focuses on enhanced security by prioritising the acceptance of more secure payment methods like EMV chip cards, contactless cards, and mobile wallets. Notably, the terminal has removed the traditional magstripe card reader, which has been linked to a higher risk of credit card fraud—a concern for many Australians, with over 1.8 million reportedly affected each year, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Designed and Engineered in Melbourne
Zeller Terminal 2 was developed by a team in Melbourne, featuring a unique hardware format that distinguishes it from traditional EFTPOS terminals. The terminal has a 6.5-inch full-colour HD digital display, the largest screen of its kind in Australia. It offers users the ability to choose between light and dark modes, allowing the device to adapt to various retail and restaurant environments.
Additionally, Zeller Terminal 2 is the first EFTPOS terminal in the world available in three different colours—black, white, and graphite. This feature is intended to help businesses select a device that aligns with their brand’s aesthetic.
Ben Pfisterer, co-founder and CEO at Zeller, expressed his excitement about the launch, stating, “Zeller is committed to redefining the payments and point-of-sale landscape from Australia. We’re focused on delivering premium products at prices that are accessible to businesses. This new terminal is designed to help business owners streamline operations and enhance the customer experience.”
Customer Feedback
Aaron Chan, co-founder of Kings Domain Barber Shops in Melbourne, shared his thoughts on the new device. “We love that we can make the new Zeller Terminal our own,” Chan said. “The design and style are crucial to our brand, so the terminal’s sleek look and customisation options are a perfect fit for our business. Plus, being able to accept all cards at a flat fee is a significant benefit.”
