We are here to make payments the easiest part of doing business, whether that be in-store, on-the-go or online. This year, we accelerated the delivery of game-changing solutions for our merchants and partners including our Tyro Pro terminal and embedded payments software development kit, which allows partners to embed our payments technology into a wide range of devices.
Davey also highlighted Tyro's commitment to innovation and growth:
We also continued to innovate to bolster our online payments offering for merchants and our broad partner network, which increased by more than 100 active partners this year. Merchants can now process payments within the Tyro Merchant Portal and send payment invoice links directly to customers.
We also enabled card-matching for Australian-first instant cashback app, Hello Clever, and integrated payments for StoreConnect, the first Salesforce-native POS for small businesses.

CEO Davey said the company was focused on continued growth:
We remain focused on extending our product offering and continuing to develop valuable innovations for our partners and merchants.
In FY25, we will enter two new verticals where we have a unique capability that will provide a competitive advantage, including unattended payments and a growing vertical adjacent to Health. With these initiatives in play, we are confident in our runway for growth.
