Tourism operators encouraged to use EFTPOS

The Tourism Authority of Kiribati (TAK), in collaboration with the ANZ Bank Kiribati conducted an Electronic Funds Transfer at Point of Sale (EFTPOS) training for North and South Tarawa accommodation operators on Thursday 29th July 2021, at Mary’s Motel Conference Room.

The training was conducted as part of the Kiribati Tourism and Hospitality Protocols for the New Normal, which encourages a non-contact and cashless payment system for all tourism operators.

The training also raised awareness on the benefits that EFTPOS payment options have for guests and how it can be used to improve yields and payment recovery for hotels and accommodation providers.

Participants of the training were made up mainly of operators that currently do not offer EFTPOS payment options and TAK plans to conduct the same training for tourism operators in the outer islands.

The training was conducted by ANZ Digital & Channel Management Manager, Mr. Mwea Timeon.
