Battery Zone: Turning $800 a Month in Fees Into Real Savings
Operating for the past 12 months, Battery Zone has quickly built momentum in a competitive retail environment where every dollar matters. For Director Charlie, controlling overheads and protecting margins is critical — especially when monthly payment costs start climbing.
The Challenge
Before switching to APS, Battery Zone was paying approximately $800 per month in fees with their previous provider.
“The charges were high with the other provider — about $800 a month — which wasn’t nice.” For a growing business, those recurring fees quickly become a burden.
Why APS?
The decision to move to APS was simple and financially driven. Charlie was looking for:
- Lower fees
- No terminal rental charges
- A more cost-effective structure
The No-Cost EFTPOS model offered exactly that — removing unnecessary expenses while keeping transactions simple.
The Results
Since switching, the biggest impact has been immediate cost savings.
“No fees — saving a lot of money for me and financial benefits, plus reward points.”
Key benefits include:
- Elimination of monthly terminal fees
- Significant reduction in payment processing costs
- Easy-to-use machines
- Reward points earned through everyday transactions
Day-to-Day Impact
Operationally, everything continues to run smoothly.
“No change — just easy transactions.” Payments are fast, reliable, and uncomplicated — but without the heavy monthly bill at the end of the month.
What Charlie Would Tell Other Businesses
Charlie’s advice is straightforward:
“Go for it. Change over — no hassle, and you won’t get a bill at the end of the month. The machines are easy and good to use too.” For Battery Zone, APS has delivered what every business owner wants — simplicity, savings, and no unexpected surprises.
