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.
MIOO Technology provides an enterprise-grade platform that connects physical products to the digital world through unique, verifiable digital identities. It specializes in creating Digital Product Passports (DPP), which enable users to track products through QR codes or NFC tags connected directly to a product or its label and secured on the immutable Hedera blockchain network giving them access to a wealth of information about the status of their goods.
The platform is designed to help brands, particularly in the luxury, fashion, and art sectors, combat counterfeiting and prepare for upcoming regulations like the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). The DPP can house detailed data on a product's materials, origin, carbon footprint, and repair history, promoting transparency and sustainability. For consumers, this digital identity serves as an undeniable certificate of authenticity and ownership. For brands, it opens a direct channel for post-sale customer engagement and provides valuable insights into the product lifecycle.
MIOO's technology is active in the micromobility sector with MIOO Cycling, an initiative supported by EIT Urban Mobility. This service uses the DPP to track a bicycle's entire lifecycle, including service history and ownership transfers.
