Merco Ltd. acquires POLi from Australia Post
You may have heard that Australia Post is closing POLi in Australia. In response to this news, Merco Ltd. (Master Distributor of POLi in NZ) is acquiring local ownership of the system to continue operations here in New Zealand. We will be retaining POLi's experienced development team ensuring there is no disruption to service.
This is a very exciting time for us as we can now dedicate 100% of POLi's resources to New Zealanders. We're also set to introduce new services to the country in the near future, making it excellent timing for the 1.6 million Kiwis who have used POLi recently.
Australia Post will shut down POLi in Australia on 30 September, 2023, at which point Merco will take control of the service. The service will continue uninterrupted and these changes will not affect POLi merchants or customers in New Zealand.
