The eftpos solution by Australian Payments Plus provides a cost effective, secure and flexible payment infrastructure for Australian businesses. It supports real time debit transactions, tap to pay on mobile devices, eftpos QR payments and least cost routing, which allows merchants to automatically direct debit transactions through the lowest cost network to help reduce the cost of acceptance.
Australian Payments Plus has worked with Google to enable least cost routing in Google Wallet, with ANZ and Suncorp the first issuers to offer this capability. It is also partnering with Giesecke and Devrient to develop eftpos Click to Pay with integrated least cost routing, an online checkout service that uses tokenisation to protect card credentials and is scheduled for rollout from early 2026 following pilot trials.
These developments enhance payment efficiency, improve security, support domestic data sovereignty and align with Reserve Bank of Australia findings that least cost routing can materially reduce merchant debit acceptance costs.

Joget is an open-source no-code/low-code application development platform designed to empower users, from citizen developers to professional programmers, to build, integrate, and orchestrate enterprise-grade applications and automate workflows with minimal coding. The platform focuses on accelerating digital transformation by simplifying application development and enabling faster delivery of solutions across various industries.
A key aspect of Joget's offering is its specific support for blockchain and digital ledger technology (DLT) applications through its integration with the Hedera blockchain network. This is facilitated by the Hashgraph Application Studio, a version of Joget tailored for the Hedera ecosystem, and the Hedera Ledger Pack plugin. These tools enable users to visually design and deploy decentralized applications (dApps) on Hedera, simplifying interactions with Hedera services like the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) and Hedera Token Service (HTS) for tasks such as account creation, asset transfer, and token management, directly from within the Joget environment.
Beyond its blockchain capabilities, Joget provides visual drag-and-drop interfaces for UI and process design, AI-powered development features, pre-built integrations, and an extensible plugin architecture. This allows organizations to improve time-to-market, achieve cost efficiencies, and enhance operational flexibility for a wide range of enterprise applications.
