Tyro, Australia’s leading payments company, has enlisted UFC superstar and its newly appointed chief tap officer, Alexander Volkanovski (Volk), to support businesses around the country in a fresh advocacy campaign.

Running a business in Australia isn’t just a job – it’s an all-consuming commitment, and for many business owners, it’s literally keeping them up at night. Research commissioned by Tyro this year has found that Australian business owners are, on average, losing 12 hours of sleep a week over their businesses, with many feeling the financial pinch in the traditional post-Christmas slump period. Three in four rated managing cash flow as the top concern keeping them up at night, with one in three turning to exercise (40 per cent) to manage their stress levels. 

This comes as Tyro launches its new Big Buyout campaign with Australian UFC superstar and Tyro’s new chief tap officer, Alex Volkanovski. As part of the campaign, businesses across NSW will have the chance to win $10,000 “buyouts”, where Volk will purchase everything in stock for a day and give it away to the public.

Tyro’s chief growth officer Dee Bannatyne says: “We know that Aussie businesses are doing it tough at the moment and wanted to support Tyro customers with a give-back initiative. The Big Buyout will not only provide an instant cash injection but also provide significant marketing, PR and increased connection to their local community. It’s a genuine win-win for all!”. 

For Tyro’s fourth Big Buyout for the year, the company is putting aside $10,000 to spend with a business if you switch from an existing payment/Eftpos provider to Tyro before March 21. To nominate your business for Tyro’s next Big Buyout, go to www.tyro.com.au/buyout today.
