This week in business technology, a major win for small businesses as the controversial “click to cancel” rule is put on hold. We also dive into exciting partnerships and updates from leading fintech companies like Airwallex and BILL, plus fresh features from Zoho to supercharge your Google Ads campaigns. Finally, Google has revamped its Keyword Planner – what does it mean for your SEO strategy?

“Click to Cancel” Stays: A Victory for Aussie Small Businesses

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) is celebrating a significant reprieve for small businesses across Australia. A stay has been granted on the “click to cancel” rule, effectively pausing its implementation. This rule, designed to simplify the cancellation process for consumers, was proving burdensome and costly for many small businesses to comply with. The NFIB’s advocacy efforts have clearly paid off, providing much-needed breathing room and allowing for further discussion and potential revisions to the regulation. This is a positive development for the Australian small business sector, reducing compliance headaches and allowing entrepreneurs to focus on growing their businesses.

This partnership aims to streamline cross-border payments for businesses, particularly those operating in the US and Australia. By combining Airwallex’s global payment infrastructure with BILL’s automation capabilities, businesses can expect faster, cheaper, and more transparent international transactions. This integration will be a game-changer for companies expanding their reach across borders, simplifying their financial operations and boosting efficiency.
