Introduction/Overview

Community CashBack is owned and operated by Technocash Pty Ltd, an Australian Licensed Financial Services Provider, License, No. 247299.

Technocash has developed a range of consumer and business financial accounts, known as BillFold™ accounts, which are accessed either by plastic cash cards at participating retailers & businesses, or via the internet using appropriate individual account identification and PIN numbers.

The Company has also developed and patented its own CashBack rewards terminal – the IMSE™ (Interactive Multi-Media Sales Event) – which reads the CashBack cards, processes CashBack transactions and performs a variety of other functions.

The Community CashBack Card is designed to promote local commerce. Local residents helping local businesses and vise versa. The Community CashBack program offers card members savings on purchases from local businesses.

Technocash processes the CashBack to customers, fees to Associations and payment of Franchise fee to the Franchisee. Franchise fees are payable monthly in arrears.

FAQ

What qualifications do I need?

Enthusiasm, working well with people and keenness. Honesty and fairness are also key elements. Of course, as a licensed financial institution, Technocash will require appropriate due diligence and make any necessary enquiries.

Is Training Provided?

Technocash will provide the necessary training at our offices in Parramatta.

What set-up time is involved?

Initially a reasonable amount in talking to schools, businesses, associations and organizations to sell customer cards and signing up local retailers and businesses.

Once the initial CashBack retailers and businesses are signed up and customer cards sold, less time will be required as emphasis shifts to good will visits to existing retailers and associations as well as talking to new retailers and organizations.

How do I receive income?

The beauty of CashBack is that the revenues are earned every time there is a CashBack transaction in your Franchise Area.

Unlike other franchises, you earn revenues when MANY BUSINESSES do CashBack transactions. How much is up to you, it is your business and there and countless ways to promote and grow it.

What about major retailers?

Technocash will be responsible for signing up larger retailers (i.e. those with more than 5 stores or national operations), yet each Franchisee will receive their appropriate percentage share for every CashBack transaction in their Franchise Area – even if the transaction is through the cash register system of a large chain such as Retravision (if they are signed up).

Technocash already has connections with a number of larger chains.
