Federal Election is no Easter treat for Australia’s small business community
New research commissioned by OnDeck, a leading online SME lender, confirms that Anzac Day’s proximity to Easter combined with the upcoming Federal election will negatively impact many SMEs.

What does NPP mean for businesses and how on earth do they implement it?
Since going live on the 13th of February last year, retail banking customers have adopted NPP on mass. In fact, a number of major banks now use the NPP as a default method of transferring funds between Australian accounts. However, so far, progress has been slower for businesses despite some obvious benefits of real-time, data-rich, immediately-resolved payments. And not only that: NPP payments have the potential to be significantly cheaper than credit cards – the only alternative real-time option.
