Speaking at the CommBank SmallBiz Week event at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, CBA Executive General Manager Business Lending and Small Business Banking, Grant Cairns, said:
“We’re delighted to launch this $0 Smart Mini reader promotion to coincide with our sponsorship of CommBank Small Biz Week. We know it is a tough environment for many small businesses and that every saving helps with the bottom line.
“Together with our existing $0 monthly account fee option for new CommBank BTAs, we’re pleased to be providing tangible support to the small business sector by removing a number of banking services costs.”
CBA General Manager of Merchant Solutions, Karen Last, said portable payment solutions were are an important payment option for many small businesses and that Smart Mini offered a range of attractive benefits.
“Recent CBA research highlighted the growing usage of payments on the go and the big increase in business start-ups post-Covid - many of which rely on portable payments.
“Our $0 Smart Mini reader promotion gives small businesses the opportunity to trial its many benefits, including a highly competitive flat rate transaction fee, anti-fraud technology, almost real-time transaction insights and same day settlement on all transactions where the device is linked to a CommBank BTA.
“Portable payments is a very competitive space between different providers and we’re pleased with the advantages that Smart Mini delivers to our customers and its traction in the market since launching in March,” Ms Last commented.
