Tyro, Australia’s leading payments company has enlisted the help of UFC superstar, and their newly appointed “Chief Tap Officer” Alexander Volkanovski (Volk), to support businesses around the country in 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. New research, commissioned by Tyro in 2025, has found that Australian business owners are on average losing 12 hours sleep a week over their businesses, with many feeling the financial pinch in the traditional post-christmas slump period. 75% rated managing cashflow as the top concern keeping them up at night, with one in three turning to exercise (40%) to manage their stress levels.
This comes as Tyro launches its new Big Buyout campaign, with Australian UFC superstar & Tyro’s new “Chief Tap Officer,” Alex Volkanovski. As part of the campaign, businesses across New South Wales 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, it will 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, they’re putting aside $10,000 to spend with a business if you switch from an existing payment/eftpos provider to Tyro before the 21st March 2025. To nominate your business for Tyro’s next Big Buyout, go to www.tyro.com.au/buyout today.
