eWAY is a global payment gateway company allowing businesses from Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and Europe to process credit card and debit cards directly from their online store on their website.

History

[edit]

Originally founded in Canberra Australia in 1998 by Matt Bullock with a single goal in mind "to make eCommerce as easy as possible".[1]


eWAY continously expanded in Australia, integrating to all major Australian banks, a rarity in Australian payment gateways. With these connections eWAY was able to create strong partnerships with over 120 shopping cart software providers. With eCommerce growing in Australia eWAY was continuously growing as a company, doubling its business for 3 years in a row[2].


In 2007 eWAY made a large expansion creating connections into the New Zealand banking network and the United Kingdom market[3].

eCommerce Growth

[edit]

eCommerce has seen major growth for the past few years even with economic woes throughout other markets[4]. This coupled with eWAY's success, shows that more and more businesses are shifting to online stores as a requirement for improving sales growth. Having an online presence that allows customers to shop like they would in a physical store allows merchants to expand their business by reaching a larger market share, connecting with more customers.
