    I S S U E MONTHLY 9 N O V E M B E R 2 0 0 9 GC Cabbie this issue From the CEO CEO News P.1 Operational News P.2 Once again the Gold Coast has shown it’s resiliency in the face of global pressures; the media has essentially reported that we are now in the Marketing / Ombudsman Survey P.3 middle of a boom, the restaurants are busy, there are people out and Accounts P.4 about and the public are travelling again. Our figures have shown the same trend: bookings have increased over the last three months and Technical Services P .5 our hope is that the trend continues. Our Contact Centre Staff have Human Resources / Dreamworld Rank P.6 been under pressure as the calls have increased faster than antici- pated, thus, we have hired additional staff to assist with the Christmas Customer Feedback P.7 period. I would like to congratulate all of the Customer Service Reps Customer Feedback P.8 and Radio Operators for their efforts. Following on from a disappointing SuperGP we are heading into our traditionally busy period. Everyone within the Gold Coast Cabs group needs to ensure that we continue to provide exceptional customer service even when it is busy: • Smile • Be courteous • Be helpful (put the luggage / shopping into the car, open the door for the passenger etc) • Take pride in your work, car and appearance • Drive safely • Offer to change the radio station or to turn it off • Ask if they are comfortable, adjust / turn on the air-conditioning • Don’t speak on your mobile phone (even hands free) with passengers in the car • Be positive Do every job: every customer is to be treated equally, regardless of whether they are travelling around the cor- ner or going further.

  • Terminal Payment Services
    Terminal Payment Services www.netpay.co.uk/bookerintelligent payments www.netpay.co.uk Terminal Payment Services Terminal payment services, also commonly referred to as CHP or Cardholder Present, are those that provide the capability for a purchase to be made on a payment terminal with the card holder present, it is also possible to take payments over the telephone or by mail order (MOTO) subject to a suitable setup of the merchant account. It is important to remember, as with any payment service, that there are 2 aspects involved in terminal payments, these are; Processing - This is the part of the transaction that gets the customer making the purchase routed through to the acquiring bank. Simply, the software which sits on the terminal enabling payment options to be securely routed to the acquiring bank. Acquisition - This is simply the banking aspect of the payments service. When the payment service provider processes the transaction, it is passed through to an acquiring bank for the credit or debit card transaction to be processed. This process is essentially no different to an online transaction replacing the software application for a physical terminal to deliver the capability to process a card transaction and deliver it to the acquiring bank. It is important to note that CHP & CNP services require 2 separate merchant ID’s and need to be set up with the acquirer accordingly. Additional merchant ID’s will be required for other card schemes such as AMEX. NetPay also offers an additional service on selected terminals, namely Mobile Top-up (MTU). This is the service that enables merchants to process mobile phone top-ups via their terminal to a large number of mobile networks.

  • Perspectives on Payments Regulation – It Depends Which Way You Look At
    Perspectives on Payments Regulation – It depends which way you look at it… March 2020 Lance Blockley David Ojerholm Mitchell Hu The Japanese remain welded to the use of cash, whilst Australians are heavy users of payment cards - there are clearly lots of differences between the two countries, but one is certainly the cost for merchants to accept a card payment, which has been regulated down to a low level in Australia. Whether or not regulation is good or bad often depends which side of the fence you sit. Sometimes society demands it to solve a problem. Sometimes legislators impose it to solve a problem that is over the horizon or we don’t yet know we have. But with regulation, there are almost always unintended consequences, winners and losers, storm clouds and silver linings. The RBA introduces payments regulation to Australia With respect to credit cards, the RBA first introduced interchange regulation in January 2003 that allowed merchants to recover the costs of accepting card payments – the right to surcharge. The second part of the reform was introduced in October 2003 to limit the level of interchange being paid by acquirers to issuers on credit cards to a weighted average of 0.55%. Data supporting the achievement of the average was to be reviewed every 3 years, with a re-set of Scheme interchange rates if necessary. Debit cards and 3-party Scheme cards, such as American Express and Diners Club, were not regulated. The 0.55% rate1 was determined following separate credit card cost studies undertaken by Visa and Mastercard, as mandated by the RBA, which also defined what the Schemes and their credit card issuing banks were permitted to include in their cost calculations.

  • Myths and Facts
    Interchange Myths and Facts Myth: Interchange fees are a “hidden tax” on consumers. FACT: Interchange fees are neither hidden nor a tax, and are not paid by consumers. An interchange fee is a small fee paid by a merchant’s acquiring bank to a cardholder’s issuing bank as part of an electronic payment card transaction. Interchange facilitates the global electronic payments system and serves as a critical tool to balance the benefits and costs of that system among its participants. This fee allows merchants to enjoy all the benefits they seek from card acceptance, including security, guaranteed payment, fraud protection and speed of service. Each merchant is able to negotiate its own card acceptance costs with its acquiring bank, and similarly, the merchant’s bank and card-issuing bank are also able to bilaterally negotiate their fees. To overcome the inefficiency of thousands of separate negotiations, however, MasterCard sets “default” interchange rates that may be used in the absence of separately negotiated arrangements. MasterCard publicly discloses all of its interchange rates on its website, and merchants are free to disclose these fees to their customers. For further information, please visit www.mastercardmerchant.com. Myth: Reducing and capping interchange will benefit consumers, so enacting the Durbin Amendment is a positive development. FACT: For more than four decades, interchange has been set to balance the costs, risks and rewards of electronic payments for cardholders, merchants and issuing banks. Even prior to the price caps enacted by the Durbin Amendment’s implementation, consumers saw the unintended negative impact as banks anticipated regulations by limiting cardholder benefits and raising fees.

  • Revenue Result Following 5 Year Commitment to Strengthening Revenue Mix
    1H20 highlights ▪ Record 1H revenue result following 5 year commitment to strengthening revenue mix ▪ Mobile Technologies International and Gold Coast Cabs performing above post acquisition expectations ▪ Fully digitised Cabcharge Payment offering gaining traction ▪ Launch of new Network/Bureau services in Mackay, Gold Coast, Tweed Heads, Perth and Albury Wodonga extending national footprint ▪ Strong organic growth in new Champ Network established in Perth during 1H20 from 0 to 223 cars ▪ Accelerating growth in handheld payments with Spotto growth up 22% ▪ Preferred Driver program launched giving Passengers more choice and control ▪ Installation of next generation in-car equipment ▪ App bookings up 19% 2 1H20 Overview A2B grew revenue, improved its services and enhanced the value propositions of its core products. 13cabs expanded its national personal transport footprint and MTI extended its global technology reach with new clients. Additional investment in marketing came at a short term cost but contributed to a strengthened 13cabs brand and growing use of digital booking channels (13cabs app up 19% and 13cabs mobile web up 66%). Competition with rideshare continued in 1H20 although there are now signs that Taxi patronage has stabilised. Our determination to raise the bar with higher qualifying standards for Driver professionalism and for 13cabs and Silver Service vehicles coincided with a temporary impact of short term tactics amongst smaller Taxi network and payment providers who are less invested in market changes. Meanwhile A2B was impacted by an aggregate $1.1m from adverse changes in Taxi licence markets, particularly in NSW. Government policy changes in NSW have deferred the full benefits of our investment in Safety cameras for up to 12 months while 88 Wheelchair Accessible Taxis were excluded from the fleet in Sydney.

  • The Chargeback Process
    THE CHARGEBACK PROCESS Below are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about chargebacks. If you don’t see the answer to your question, let us know at [email protected] or call our support line at (800) 405-4818. WHAT IS A CHARGEBACK? To understand the chargeback process, we first need to understand what a chargeback is. In simplest terms, a chargeback is a disputed charge made using a credit card. The cardholder (that’s the person whose credit card we’re talking about) is basically saying, “There’s a charge on my credit card and I’m not taking responsibility for it for [xyz] reason.” The chargeback process is the process by which all the many parties involved – yes, there’s a few – investigate and figure out whether a charge is valid or not. WHO ARE THE PARTIES INVOLVED? In any credit card transaction, there’s going to be several parties involved. We can start with the cardholder and the bank where he or she holds an account. The cardholder’s bank is called the issuing bank. That’s the one side of a credit card transaction. On the other side of a transaction, you have the merchant; this is usually a business where the transaction was made. Like the cardholder, the merchant is also going to have a bank; the merchant’s bank is the acquiring bank. Time to go another level deeper. Let’s talk about the card networks. Visa, Mastercard, American Express are all card brands, or card networks, that you probably recognize.
