The BasicsCard Merchant Terms outline your obligations as an approved store or business.
The BasicsCard Special Conditions for Taxi-cab and Minibus outline extra obligations for these businesses.
If you breach these obligations, it can affect your eligibility to accept the BasicsCard as a form of payment.
Customer privacy
You may have access to some personal information of BasicsCard customers.
The Privacy Act 1988 protects customer information. The confidentiality provisions contained in law also apply.

It is a legal obligation that you protect the personal information of customers. This obligation is ongoing and continues even after you are no longer a BasicsCard business.
Keeping us up to date
Once we approve you to accept the BasicsCard you’ll need to keep us up to date with changes to either your:
- business
- EFTPOS facilities.
If you change or add EFTPOS terminals you must let us know. Our Helpdesk activates new or updated terminals.
If you sell your business, let us know before the handover date. The new owners will need to apply to accept the BasicsCard.
Receipts
You must give your BasicsCard customers an EFTPOS receipt for each transaction.
If your store sells excluded goods, you must also give your customers an itemised receipt. You must also keep a record of these itemised receipts for at least 2 years from the transaction date.
