PAX Technology Australia (PTA) is a subsidiary of the global Android terminal giant PAX, founded in 2017 by Debra Taylor and Nigel Lovell as the local distribution company for payment terminals in Australia and New Zealand and acquired by PAX Hong Kong in 2024. Under new CEO Michael Johnson's leadership, PTA is positioned as the market leader in Android payment solutions, leveraging PAX's internationally acknowledged dominance in Android payment devices and first-mover advantage in the sector.

With PAX's state-of-the-art manufacturing capacity of one million terminals monthly globally and substantial R&D investment of 11% of revenue, PTA delivers cutting-edge payment technology through its comprehensive ecosystem, including the MAXSTORE Terminal Management System and locally-installed Hardware Security Module in Sydney that ensures data sovereignty for Australian clients.
