EFTPOS Canterbury Ltd is a privately owned and operated company. It was established in Canterbury in 1993 as Equinoxe with a vision of providing Cantabrians with state of the art point of sale equipment and an after sales service second to none.

It's inception coincided with the EFTPOS concept starting to become widely accepted as an effective and secure payment solution in New Zealand. Equinoxe/Eftpos Canterbury Ltd, is in fact the longest established Canterbury based EFTPOS company.

The company's founder Robert (Bob) Gordon has had 20 years experience in telecommunications, Eftpos and Merchant Business Banking. He along, with Graeme Telford as past owners, have passed on their vast experience to current owners Steve & Stephanie Batey and still assist them.

Steve & Stephanie Batey bring a wide range of skills to the business of Eftpos Canterbury Ltd. Their focus is on providing Exceptional Service to the Customer, for without excellent service, there will be no customers, and if there are no customers, there is no business. So their focus is to provide the best Eftpos Service possible.

Whilst the company specialises in EFTPOS we also sell Touch screen and PC based POS along with Cash Registers and all the associated accessories.. We also service a diverse customer base with a wide range of consumables in the form of PAPER ROLLS, and Printer Ribbons all around New Zealand. These sales were sold from "NZ Paper and Ink", a subsidiary of Eftpos Canterbury Ltd but this has now been incorporated into Eftpos Canterbury Ltd.

With a range of reliable Eftpos Terminals, POS and quality consumables, we can provide our customers with effective solutions to meet their point of sale needs. Over the years we have established many synergistic relationships with many suppliers to ensure provision of a nationally available service network. These relationships include working closely with all the major banks for Eftpos connections.

The company is a preferred ProvencoCadmus Distributor, a leading supplier of EFTPOS terminals.

The team at Eftpos Canterbury Ltd work from Showroom / Office at 408 Barrington Street, Christchurch. If you wish to call in and see us, please phone first (03 338 7672), this is to make sure we aren't out serving another client's Eftpos needs.

Eftpos Canterbury Ltd has grown since inception with customers now stretching further afield than it's parochial beginnings from Stewart Island to Auckland.

It's focus today remains customer orientated, delivering the best advice, service and support.

Steve & Stephanie have other business interests, these are in Business Mentoring and Coaching with the business KIWI Business Builder Group, and recently sold a limousine company, American Classic Limousines to dedicate time for the Eftpos business.
