Next Payments: Payments, Cash Management, and Loyalty Solutions Built for Australian and New Zealand Merchants

If you run a venue, retail store, club, hotel, or financial institution in Australia or New Zealand, Next Payments is a full-service provider that brings together payment acceptance, cash handling hardware, reconciliation software, and loyalty tools under one roof. Their portfolio spans EFTPOS terminals, ATMs including Tap & Go and TAB-enabled models, cash recyclers, cash redemption terminals, loyalty and gift cards, and business intelligence software designed specifically for hospitality and gaming venues.

Why Merchants Look at Next Payments

Next Payments positions itself as a premium payments and technology partner with local support and products tailored to licensed venues and retail. The company highlights 24/7 local assistance and an emphasis on security and compliance, which can be reassuring if your operations depend on cash handling and regulated environments.

They also operate in New Zealand through a dedicated site, so multi-site operators across AU and NZ can deal with one provider for similar ATM and cash solutions.

Core Products and Solutions

Pago EFTPOS for card acceptance

What it is: A modern EFTPOS offering with contactless terminals, portable options, simple pricing language, and POS integration. The product page and testimonials reference an easy onboarding experience and a real-time merchant dashboard that simplifies daily operations.

Who it suits: Cafes, restaurants, retail, trades, and health and beauty businesses that want reliable terminals, POS integration, and straightforward pricing without piecing together multiple vendors.

ATMs, including Tap & Go and TAB Enabled ATM

Tap & Go withdrawals across the range: Next Payments has rolled out Tap & Go withdrawals on its entire ATM lineup. Customers can withdraw cash or check balances using a digital wallet or contactless card, which speeds up lines and improves accessibility for cardless customers.

Installation and rebates: Next states that ATMs are free to install, with complimentary maintenance and repairs, and they pay a monthly rebate to the business hosting the machine. This is attractive if you want foot traffic and an ancillary revenue stream without capex.

TAB Enabled ATM: Designed for venues that offer wagering facilities, the TAB Enabled ATM allows patrons to deposit to and withdraw from their TAB accounts directly at the machine. This keeps patrons in venue and reduces friction during busy events.

Cash Xpress for EFTPOS cash-out

What it is: A secure, regulation-compliant EFTPOS cash-out terminal that centralises cash-out in one unit. It aims to boost safety by reducing large till floats, cut human error, and create an income line through surcharges. Next lists uptime at over 99.5 percent.

Why it matters: Gaming and hospitality venues often juggle cash handling risks and the operational cost of manual cash-outs at bars and counters. Cash Xpress standardises the process, limits exposure to cash, and speeds up service.

Cash Recycler for back-of-house cash automation

What it is: A high-capacity note recycler that validates, counts, dispenses, and stores cash in a secure safe with individual staff logins. The aim is to reduce manual cash handling, improve reconciliation accuracy, and lift security.

Why it matters: Automating end-of-day takings and float preparation can save hours per shift and lower bank run frequency. Next explains the recycler’s role in minimising errors and improving security, and their news articles discuss how venues use automation to reduce costs.

Cash Redemption Terminals (CRTs)

What it is: Next’s Next Gen CRTs handle ticket and card redemption with higher capacity storage, modern UI, remote monitoring, and Hyosung hardware to improve uptime and transaction speed compared with older terminals.

Specialised variant: They also supply CRTs customised for bottle and can recycling depots, with interfaces tuned for speed and clarity.

Concilio reconciliation software

What it is: Concilio centralises your venue’s critical cash and settlement data into a single dashboard to reduce manual reconciliation and save staff time. Case studies and product pages position it as a time saver that links with the Cash Recycler and other systems.

Outcome to expect: Less spreadsheet work, faster variance checks, and clearer visibility into cash positions across outlets and shifts.

EAGLEi360 business intelligence and venue management

What it is: A venue intelligence and CRM platform for clubs, pubs, and hotels. It combines member CRM, marketing automation, AML and compliance tracking, SMS and email tools, and loyalty analytics. It integrates with major gaming and POS systems such as MaxGaming, eBet, Odyssey, IGT, SwiftPOS, H&L, and SENPOS.

What it helps with: Centralised reporting across POS and member data, shift reporting for managers on the floor, automated scheduled reports, and campaign management with ROI tracking. Recent articles describe modules for shift reporting, marketing calendars, and targeted campaigns.

GSL Loyalty Card and Gift Cards

What it is: A prepaid eftpos loyalty and promotions program that pairs member rewards with retail partnerships. Venues can also issue GSL Gift Cards so members can convert points to dollars and use them wherever eftpos is accepted in Australia.

Use cases: Promotions, giveaways, and flexible rewards that members can self-manage online, plus seasonal gifting campaigns.

Industries and Use Cases

• Hospitality and gaming: End-to-end cash management with recyclers, CRTs, ATMs, EFTPOS cash-out, reconciliation and BI software built for licensed venues.

• Retail: ATMs, EFTPOS, and reconciliation tools to manage cash efficiently and streamline settlements.

• Financial institutions: ATM outsourcing and support to extend reach while controlling costs.

Deployment, Support, and Credibility Signals

Merchants often evaluate total cost and support rather than headline features alone. Next emphasises free ATM installation with maintenance included and a monthly rebate model, which reduces upfront cost of cash access. The company also highlights 24/7 local support and in-house product development and security focus.

For venues that run wagering, the TAB Enabled ATM can be a differentiator during race days and peak periods, keeping patrons in venue by enabling direct TAB deposits and withdrawals at the machine.

Advantages for Merchants

• Single vendor for card, cash, and loyalty: Pago EFTPOS, ATMs with Tap & Go, Cash Xpress, Cash Recycler, Concilio, EAGLEi360, and GSL Loyalty let you consolidate vendors and reduce integration complexity.

• Operational efficiency and security: Automating cash handling and reconciliation reduces shrinkage and errors while improving staff safety.

• Frictionless customer experiences: Tap & Go ATM withdrawals and modern EFTPOS help shorten queues and keep patrons spending.

• Data-driven decisions: EAGLEi360 brings venue reporting, member insights, and campaign tools into one place to inform staffing, promos, and floor management.

Conclusion

Next Payments is a practical choice if you want one provider for EFTPOS, ATMs, cash automation, reconciliation, and loyalty that is built for the realities of Australian and New Zealand venues. The combination of Tap & Go ATM withdrawals, EFTPOS and cash-out tools, high-capacity recyclers, and a hospitality-specific BI suite can streamline operations, reduce cost, and improve patron experience, all with local support. For many clubs, pubs, hotels, and busy retailers, that mix hits the sweet spot between revenue, security, and simplicity.
