Although this NZ payment option is not optimized on mobile devices this card provides multiple benefits. Here’s a look at the advantages and drawbacks of using EFTPOS Cards.


Pros of EFTPOS Cards

  • Possibility of technical problems. Despite the technology and innovation used by the EFTPOS system, the users can meet technical problems like system outages or telecommunication during the transactions. When this issue occurs, the trader can choose the option Electronic Offline Voucher (EOV) or Manual Offline Voucher (MOV) procedure to finalize the dealings.
