Welcome I
t’s great to bring you the Spring 2017 edition of the epayWorld magazine as we welcome the warmer weather and commence the countdown to Christmas. Our cover feature this issue takes a look at the rise of digital wallet use in China and how epay retailers can capitalise on it here in Australia. On page 8 we describe how 47 percent of all Chinese eCommerce transactions are made via a digital wallet which is now already common place for everyday purchases in China. While digital wallet use in Australia (by Australian consumers) has been slow thus far, there is a bright future ahead as smartphone users increasingly use new payment technologies. Currently, $12 billion was spent in Australia via a digital wallet in 2016 but that is forecast to rise to $20 billion in 2020. With epay’s recently announced strategic alliance with Alipay, and with several key Chinese holiday periods coming up, epay retailers can directly capture the Chinese tourist and student market, increasing sales in your stores by offering the Pay by Alipay service. See the Alipay feature on page 14 for more details.
"Currently, $12 billion was spent in Australia via a digital wallet in 2016 but that is forecast to rise to $20 billion in 2020." On page 20 we introduce epay’s strategic relationship with The Commonwealth Bank of Australia that will bring epay retailers another flexible technology choice to transact your epay products via the Albert terminal. epay retailers can access the epay prepaid content suite via our application that can be downloaded from CommBank's 'Pi App bank' store. Therefore, it might be time to get your hands on Albert – the CommBank’s all-in-one EFTPOS tablet that handles all of your merchant services requirements plus epay’s prepaid content suite. Albert connects via Wi-Fi or 3G, is compact, so it saves valuable space on your counter, while its easy-to-use interface makes it a hassle-free way to transact all of your sales. If you already have Albert, download the epay app to access our comprehensive range of prepaid content or give CommBank a call on 1800 730 554 to find out more. In this edition, we also head back to the races on page 18 as Sportsbet joins the Cash Top Up® stable just in time for the peak horse racing season – the Spring Carnival. Sportsbet has now joined the likes of William Hill and bet365 Cash Top Up® products available via your epay terminal – which allows customers to make a deposit directly into their online sports betting account in your store. Happy trading everyone and we’ll see you again soon in the Summer edition where we will focus on how to make the most of the Christmas sales period. Happy trading! Kind regards, Matt Blayney Country Manager e p a y S P RIN G 2 017

INDUSTRY PROFILE – ALTERNATIVE PAYMENTS
PURCHASING POWER
We take a look at the rise of digital wallet use and detail how Chinese visitors can lead to new and lucrative opportunities.
THE DIGITAL WALLET The digital wallet allows consumers to pay for items using their smartphones rather than bank cards and cash by linking bank cards to apps on smartphones. Digital wallet customers can power their purchases in multiple ways. For example consumers can have their bank card linked to their digital wallet. The uptake in Australia has been slow but with more banks getting on board and innovators like epay driving in-store solutions it’s becoming easier to pay for things with a smartphone or to access discounts and member loyalties.
THE KEY PLAYERS Digital wallets are the fastest growing payment type around the world so it’s no surprise some of the biggest tech companies are in the mix. Young shoppers are driving their growth which is facilitated by the massive uptake of smartphone usage.

The addition of a study tour this year meant all participants had the opportunity to meet some of the most innovative retailers in the US convenience market. The Snowball Awards evening was held in the 107,000 seat AT&T Stadium – home to NFL side the Dallas Cowboys. epay was nominated for Supplier of the Year Non Food 2017 but was just pipped at the post.

What are the benefits of having epay products in New Sunrise stores? Sales! If you don’t have their products on offer you are missing out on sales which ultimately means customers will go elsewhere to shop. A customer through the door is an opportunity to increase their spend in store. Which epay products are available in New Sunrise stores and which ones prove most popular? epay products that are ranged in the New Sunrise members are: gift cards from the likes of iTtunes, Xbox, Myer and David Jones, prepaid recharge and cash products like paysafecard. A growth area we are seeing is from paysafecard. More customers are looking for safe ways to pay for products over the internet without using their personal bank/credit cards. This is a fantastic and safe way for consumers to keep their personal information private but still enjoy purchasing goods online.

Fraud Alert DO
Ensure the customer has paid in full before processing the payment. For cash voucher products like VPAY, we recommend you only accept cash as payment.
DON'T
Never provide your five digit sales code to anyone or let them operate your terminal alone. Do not give vouchers to the customer until the full valid payment has been received. Never give out voucher numbers over the phone, even if the caller claims to be from epay; or a product vendor; or from a Government Department.
EPAY WILL NEVER, IN PERSON OR OVER THE PHONE, ASK YOU TO PRINT A VOUCHER AND ASK FOR THE CODES ON IT!
THINGS TO KNOW
Whilst epay can void a transaction, the PIN will still be active for a period of time and you will be charged for the full price of the transaction if it has been used. For more information on fraud, visit www.scamwatch.gov.au
WHAT TO DO IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT ALL STAFF ARE AWARE OF FRAUD
If you have a caller claiming to be from epay or any other network asking for a voucher: Don't give out any codes. Contact epay customer service on 1300 301 408 immediately.

Key information for retailers
HOW TO DO A TERMINAL REFUND
If you print out the wrong voucher or an incorrect amount, follow these steps: Menu – Refund Transactions – Sale Type – Enter Serial Number or swipe card – Enter the epay Transaction Number – Refund receipt printed. Remember, refunding a voucher TXN from the terminal does not deactivate the voucher until it has been checked and blocked by the network. This could take several weeks. If the voucher is found to be used, you will be recharged for the full TXN amount.
HOW TO REQUEST A REFUND BY PHONE
Call epay customer service on 1300 301 408 within 72 hours of printing the voucher to log a refund or void request. Requests outside of this time-frame will not be accepted. Retain copies of the voucher and/or POSA card plus POSA Activation receipt until these have been cleared for refund by the network. Not all products can be refunded and will never be refunded if they have been used. If you believe you have been defrauded, refer to the WHAT TO DO section
