SYDNEY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 31, 2025--

Fiserv, Inc. (NYSE: FI), a leading global provider of payments and financial services technology, today announced the launch of Clover in Australia. As the world’s smartest point-of-sale system and software platform, Clover will power the country’s small-to-medium businesses, by offering an all-in-one solution that streamlines operations, enhances efficiency and helps business grow.

Gavin Jones, Country Manager of Fiserv Australia, explains how Clover’s introduction in Australia is addressing the needs of local businesses: “Australia’s small businesses, particularly those in the retail and hospitality sectors, are vital to the economy. Ninety-eight per cent of Aussie businesses identify as small-to-medium businesses but many rely on a complex array of solutions that don’t integrate with each other and are supported in a fragmented way. Small businesses work incredibly hard to get ahead in the market and Clover provides advanced technology backed by support teams that are dedicated to helping businesses grow.”

“With two-thirds of small Australian businesses aiming to scale, there’s a clear opportunity for Clover to support them in adopting technology that enables growth and keeps them competitive in a rapidly evolving market.”

Clover offers a unique value proposition, combining proprietary hardware and purpose-built software to create an all-in-one platform that replaces fragmented payment terminals, POS systems and non-integrated surround services. Clover has powerful proprietary software and also tightly integrates with specialised solutions that simplify how businesses manage tasks such as online ordering, accounting, inventory management, and employee management. The Clover platform is designed for the hospitality, service, and retail sectors, aiming to improve management, increase operational efficiency, and enhance the customer experience.

Shane Jaque, owner and operator of multiple hospitality venues including Sneaky Burger, an integral Clover pilot merchant, said, “Clover Mini and Station Duo have transformed how we run our business. Our customers love being able to see and review their orders in real time on the customer-facing display, ensuring accuracy and a smoother checkout experience. The option for digital receipts is a great touch, and Clover’s offline payment support has been a game-changer at outdoor festivals. Managing our complex menu is now much easier—uploading and updating items is quick and hassle-free, saving us valuable time and effort.”

The Clover Web Dashboard lets store owners track sales for single stores or multiple locations. They can manage customer information for discounts and promotions and monitor staff performance to create reward programs. All reports and tools are safely stored online and available anytime, anywhere.

Seven days a week support complemented by roaming technicians who can be rapidly deployed onsite for a merchant means faster help for these mission critical systems for SMBs. Clover keeps growing with new apps, automated features, payment options, and hardware based on businesses’ needs.

Clover’s products are beautifully designed, easy to set up, highly reliable and built to last. Four models are currently available in Australia to meet the unique demands of individual merchants: the handheld Clover Flex, the countertop Clover Mini, the larger countertop with dual screens Station Duo and the self-ordering Clover Kiosk. Gone are the days of mismatched hardware and clunky operating systems; instead, businesses have customisable, efficient financial and business operations management whilst providing sleek hardware that improves the customer and employee experience from start to finish.

Clover, the world's smartest point-of-sale system, launches in Australia.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Duke shines even in a Final Four of all No. 1 seeds.

The early betting money went on the Blue Devils to win their semifinal Saturday against Houston, with the opening line at DraftKings Sportsbook quickly going from 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 points.

Bettors see a Duke team led by sensational freshman Cooper Flagg that has won 15 games in a row, all but three by double digits.

“(Bettors will) continue to play Duke,” said Johnny Avello, DraftKings race and sports operations director. “Duke has been been brilliant through the ACC Tournament right into the big tournament here, and Flagg's playing great. So they'll just continue to put their money on them.”

BetMGM Sportsbook is seeing a similar surge in Blue Devils bets.

Duke by far is drawing the most money at BetMGM, taking in 40.5% of the handle to win the national championship. The next closest is Florida at 11.7%.

It's largely big bets on the Blue Devils because the total number of tickets is much closer, with Duke attracting 14.1% compared to 9.1% for the Gators. One person put $500,000 at that sportsbook on Duke at +350 to win the title.

That turned out to be a good price. Duke opened the season at +1100 at BetMGM to win the championship and now is at -110. Florida had an even more dramatic move, going from +4000 to +300.

The Gators are favored by 2 1/2 points at both sportsbooks to beat fellow Southeastern Conference member Auburn.

“The tournament has gone in the bettors’ favor with favorites consistently winning,” BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said. "The sportsbook is cheering against a Duke-Florida final.”

On the women's side, bettors believe in championship coaches Dawn Staley of South Carolina and Geno Auriemma of UConn to get it done, even though the Huskies are the only No. 2 seed in either Final Four.

UConn, in fact, is attracting 30.3% of the handle and 17.3% of the ticket count to win the national championship, which would be the school's 12th but first in nine years. Paige Bueckers and the Huskies first have to get by UCLA in Friday's semifinal, but they are 8 1/2-point favorites at BetMGM and DraftKings.

The number opened at 10 1/2 points at DraftKings before it was bet down.

“Connecticut's always loaded,” Avello said. “Paige Bueckers is a special player. It will be tough to beat that team because he's an outstanding coach. He knows how to get it done. (Bettors) thought 10 1/2 points was a bit too many.”

South Carolina has won three national championships since 2017, including last year's title. The Gamecocks are in the Final Four for the fourth consecutive season.

They are behind only UConn at BetMGM in terms of money bet (23.9%) and number of tickets (14.8%).

South Carolina is favored by 4 1/2 points in the semifinals at both sportsbooks.

“BetMGM will be pulling for the dogs to cover and hopefully pull off an upset if not two," BetMGM sports trader Hannah Luther said. "Factoring in the futures markets, a Texas versus UCLA final is the best case scenario.”

DraftKings has lines up for the potential men's championship matchups. Duke would be favored by 4 1/2 points over Florida and 5 1/2 over Auburn. The Gators would be 1 1/2-point favorites over Houston, and the Cougars would be a 1-point favorite over Auburn.

Lines weren't available on the women's side, but UConn was a -160 favorite to win it all. South Carolina was +260.

This has been a difficult March Madness for sportsbooks because casual bettors tend to put their money on favorites.

“This hasn't been our greatest tournament revenue-wise,” Avello said. “But we've still got a couple of games to go. I can tell you, the players have a lot of bullets right now, so I expect a lot of action in this Final Four.”

Michigan State bettors had to be cursing when the Spartans beat Mississippi 73-70 in the Sweet 16. Ole Miss' Matthew Murrell made a 3-point — off the back iron, no less — at the buzzer that allowed those betting on the Rebels to cover the 3 1/2-point spread at BetMGM.
