One in two regional business owners feel negatively impacted by bank closures
Zeller has announced the release of the Zeller Regional Report :
Shining a Spotlight on Regional Businesses . The new research , based upon a survey of 420 Zeller merchants trading across metro and non-metro areas , explored the regional business boom ; uncovered top-of-mind challenges for merchants ; sentiment towards the big four banks following increasing branch closures in regional areas ; and what the growing opportunities are for regional business owners following the impacts of pandemictriggered lockdowns .
Australian merchants are embracing new financial services and payments technology providers – like Zeller – who offer integrated payments , transaction accounts and business Mastercards backed by reliable uptime and accessible , local support . It ’ s a move that is enabling regional business owners to accept payments and manage their finances without the traditional , archaic banking infrastructure .
With a record number of Australians packing their bags for a regional treechange in the past two years , economies and communities outside of the capital cities are undergoing a rapid transformation . Zeller ’ s research indicated that business owners in regional areas feel disproportionately impacted by closures of local incumbent bank branches , a finding which supports the increasing adoption of new technology to support regional business payments and financial services .
