It is with great excitement that we have done our final draw for the major prize. The winner is the, Community Energy Trust.

Their mission is to provide energy solutions that are good for people and good for the environment. They install practical energy efficiency measures in homes. Household energy efficiency protects health and provides comfort, increasing the value of your energy dollar and limiting demand on electricity use.

Although it is now widely recognised that house insulation (energy efficiency) holds the key to home comfort and environmental sustainability, CEA has actively promoted energy solutions since 1994. While a lot has been achieved there is still much more to do. You can find them here

They are putting the prize up for one of their staff. Congratulations and enjoy the trip! Thanks to all the customers that entered.

Our latest and final winner of our free eftpos promotion was Wormald Cylinder Test Station in 62 Mahia Road Auckland.  Ruth was delighted with the terminal and to get it free made it a very good Christmas.  They use eftpos for their over the counter cylinder testing and LPG filling services.

Thanks to all those customers who took up our eftpos service over the last six months.  It has been a very successful promotion and we look forward to being of service.

Our Christmas promotion has finished and we will soon announce the winner of the trip for two to Rarotonga. We have also finished our consumables promotion. There were no major eftpos outages with Paymark reporting between noon and 1pm on the 24th December 2007,

*338,000 electronic transactions were processed - breaking the previous one-hour record by about 18,000.

*Paymark recorded a record 110 transactions a second.

Paymark also recorded nearly 20 million electronic transactions through the week leading up to Christmas - processed either in stores or online - reflecting an excess of $1 billion spent.

We hope you managed to take advantage of the spending and have a good christmas with your family.

Over the last year business customers and cardholders have experienced losses exceeding several million dollars. Based on Visa statistics, credit card fraud in New Zealand has doubled from 0.06% of turnover in 2006 to 0.12% in 2007. The biggest single credit card fraud committed last year was $5 million. Over half of fraudulent transactions are made over the Internet - even though they make up only 4% of transactions.

Make  sure you upgrade your terminal to reduce this threat.

The proposed policy for new PED (Pin Entry Device) installations is as follows:

c. A satisfactory timeframe for Terminal Vendors to meet full NZBA compliance.
