  • Tyro by Name, Tyro by Nature Tyro [Noun]: a Person Who Is Just Beginning to Learn Something Or Who Has Very Little Experience of Something
    Tyro by name, Tyro by nature tyro [noun]: a person who is just beginning to learn something or who has very little experience of something January 15, 2020 – Viceroy Research is short Tyro Payments Limited (ASX : TYR). Tyro is the 5th largest merchant acquiring bank (by number of terminals) in Australia, behind the four major banks ($NAB, $CBA, $WBC, $ANZ). Since its IPO in late 2019, Tyro has singled itself out as the most unreliable & technologically inferior fintech in Australia. Over the last week, our research suggests Tyro has “bricked” (verb: to turn into a brick) ~50% of its terminals across the country via a software patch, which requires a recall and capital-intensive terminal repair/replacement. It has no disaster recovery plan and has left businesses, including medical facilities, without any means to collect payment from customers. Viceroy Research believes Tyro presents a limited-risk short as customers churn in record numbers to vastly superior, non-archaic payment solutions providers, which are available in abundance, and immediately. Bricked ▪ Viceroy’s extensive channel checks indicate that approximately 50% of Tyro’s merchant terminals are offline, and have been for over a week as of the date of writing. - Tyro initially made an announcement to the market on January 7, 2021 that it was experiencing connectivity issues with “some” of its terminals, expected to affect only “5% of sales volume”. - In an update issued on January 13, 2021 Tyro expanded this number to 30% of customers affected by the breach. - It seems that Tyro has no idea – and no way to determine – how many of its terminals are actually functional.

  • Tyro Payments Limited
    June 30, 2016 Productivity Commission – Inquiry Data Availability and Use Tyro Payments is pleased to submit to the Productivity Commission inquiry into the benefits and costs of increasing the availability and improving the use of public and private sector data by individuals and organisations. Our contribution is from the perspective of a new entrant and innovator in the banking space. Governments and regulators across the globe are competing to re- design their policies and regulations as a reaction to market crises and digital disruption. The UK and EU are well advanced with their Open Data and Open API movement. We are convinced that smart public policy and smart regulation is the source of sustainable competitive advantage for Australia in its ambition to become a leading financial services hub in Asia. It does require to turn upside down some of the solidified and persistent paradigms of past thinking. New entrants, models and methods reduce risks for the system New entrants and innovators do not inject on balance risk but rather de-risk the systems and markets by delivering transparency and efficiency through automation, data and algorithm. Engaged smart regulation is required, not de-regulation or self- regulation A highly concentrated market with oligopolistic and duopolistic industry structures requires engaged smart regulators delivering strong policies, principles, mandates and rules that actually enable and ensure open markets and the ensuing innovation and competition. Industry self-regulation which puts incumbents in charge has stifled innovation and competition. Smart procurement is required from government The government is the biggest consumer of products and services in the country.

Local market was taken down to negative territory by constant selling pressure after popping up at the open on the expected dead cat bounce. US market had a dead cat bounce overnight that faded through the day with mixed economic data. We were to follow that but local and global investors were getting ahead of the seasonal weak period in Feb/Mar to lock in their performance for the month end. The month end window dressing trades were no match to the selling pressure. Energy and Banks were the worst hit while Health Care and Telecom Services were the best. Gold sector has started to shine on safety and value trade. We had elevated volatility in bond and currency markets overnight and now the US futures pointing to more pain coming. Markets were ignoring the obvious lockdown/restrictions/delays driven downgrade coming out of Europe and US. After the confirmation from ECB and US Fed, there is no stimulus boost to cover this downgrade. New US administration is more concerned about Main Street and that recovery might cost a Wall Street bashing. Reflation genie is out of the bottle and Central Banks have lost control.

  • SYDNEY CBD OFFICE Market Overview
    RESEARCH SSSEEEPPPTTTEEEMMMBBBEEERRR 222000111111 SYDNEY CBD OFFICE Market Overview HIGHLIGHTS • After the completion of several major projects in the first half of 2011, the supply pipeline has now entered a softer phase with only one major new project due to complete before the end of 2012. Developers are increasingly looking to progress development opportunities on the back of projected vacancy tightening and improving rents, however it will not be until late 2013 to 2014 that significant new supply will begin to enter the market. • So far, 2011 has been a year of consolidation for office demand with the gains in employment recorded over 2010 having moderated. This moderating pattern has extended to the rental market. In the prime market incentives have started to reduce, however face rental growth has been limited to predominantly high grade assets thus far. • Prime core market yields average between 6.25% and 7.50%, with larger, passive assets likely to trade towards the lower end of this range. Recent benchmark sales have occurred, implying a degree of yield tightening. There remains some potential for investment market yields to run ahead of fundamentals and continue to firm on the back of strong off-shore demand, however further transactions at these levels will be needed before a re-rating is substantiated.
