With Open Banking set to go live at the end of this year, exporting to Australia felt like a natural fit for us at tomato pay (formerly known as Fractal). The response we’ve received from many of the large banks, and challenger banks have been overwhelming. We were thrilled to get such a positive response from such a diverse market. That’s why we are excited to be graduating from two prestigious accelerators - the UK, Australia Fintech Bridge organised by the Department of International Trade (DIT) and Startup Bootcamp Melbourne. Nicholas Heller, tomato pay CEO commented: "We're excited to begin our journey in Australia this year, and start shaking up the financial services ecosystem that has deeply underserved small businesses for decades". tomato pay CPO, Gaurav Katyal will be pitching alongside some brilliant startups at the renowned Forum Melbourne for Startupbootcamp's Demo Day. ![SBC_Demo_Day Gaurav Katyal-1](https://blog.tomatopay.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/SBC_Demo_Day%20Gaurav%20Katyal-1.jpg?width=300&name=SBC_Demo_Day%20Gaurav%20Katyal-1.jpg) You can watch Fractal pitch at the Startupbootcamp Demo Day live at 2:30 pm AEST, August 29th, [here. ](https://www.facebook.com/sbcAUS/posts/2421061934843707) You can see the full video [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3bTQbSkAzA&feature=youtu.be).  You can see Startup Bootcamp's press release [here,](https://blog.tomatopay.co.uk/hubfs/FT19%20Demo%20Day%20Press%20Release.pdf) and on their blog [here.](https://www.startupbootcamp.org/blog/2019/09/startupbootcamp-australia-rocks-in-the-new-financial-horizon-at-forum-melbourne/) You can see the coverage of the Demo Day (including tomato pay - formerly Fractal) at [Finextra](https://www.finextra.com/pressarticle/78442/startupbootcamp-selects-ten-firms-for-fintech-accelerator), [TechinAsia](https://www.techinasia.com/startupbootcamp-invests-10-global-fintech-startups), [Finder AU](https://www.finder.com.au/startups-chosen-startupbootcamp-fintech-2019)and [Startup Soda](http://news.startupsoda.com.au/startupbootcamp-australia-rocks-in-the-new-financial-horizonat-forum-melbourne/).  You can watch us speak at Intersekt (October 14th - 18th), where we will also be graduating from the UK, Australia Fintech Bridge.   You can read our [blog](https://blog.tomatopay.co.uk/closing-the-sme-funding-gap-in-australia) covering our trip to Australia last year with the Department of International Trade.

Businesses and sole traders can benefit from our low-cost QR-code payments solution with no hidden fees, which saves them money compared to their current payment systems, gives them instant access to their money as cash settlement happens almost immediately, and access to all of their bank accounts in one place. Businesses and sole traders can benefit from our quick and easy invoice solution. Invoices can be created within the app, with the option to give discounts and late penalties (pre-built into the app using gamification and behavioural science) and send nudges to remind customers and clients to pay. Plus, as you connect your bank account, payments are embedded within the app - so no need to give your bank details, and receive money owed instantly into your account. Everyone can support their local communities thrive by paying their neighbourhood businesses in a cashless, hassle-free way. ![Lisa Leid](https://blog.tomatopay.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/WhatsApp%20Image%202019-08-22%20at%2009.47.34.jpeg?width=50&name=WhatsApp%20Image%202019-08-22%20at%2009.47.34.jpeg) Lisa Leid Head of Communications at tomato pay Aug 29, 2019 9:00:00 AM ##### Continue reading [![tomato pay](https://blog.tomatopay.co.uk/hubfs/images/tp-footer-logo.svg)](https://www.tomatopay.co.uk) ##### Want all the latest news and updates from tomato pay?
