The page shows only a $ sign, so the currency is shown as $ and is presumably Australian dollars, which the page does not say. Standard pricing is a 1.3% transaction fee with monthly rental of $19 for Pro Lite and $29 for Pro Touch and Pro Key; Tyro BYO App on a phone is $0 rental. A custom quote is offered above $20k a month. An intro offer of a 1% fee (and $0 rental on the terminals page) runs until 31 March 2027 with eligibility criteria. Tyro says there are no lock-in contracts, joining fee or cancel fees. No starting price is shown because the $19 figure could not be confirmed.
