End-of-Year Partner Challenge: Three Categories, Three Winners!
Our partners are an important part of the Pinch Payments ecosystem, helping more businesses discover smarter, more efficient ways to manage payments.
This year, we're recognising their contributions through the Pinch End-of-Year Partner Challenge, featuring three competition categories and prizes worth celebrating.
Three Ways to Win
Referral Champion
This category recognises the partner who refers the highest number of merchants to Pinch through our Partner Program during the campaign.
Engagement Champion
For partners who know how to create engaging content! Publish a partner post on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn, tag Pinch Payments and follow our account. The eligible post with the highest likes-to-follower ratio wins.
Silver Bullet
Sometimes, one connection can make a significant impact. This category rewards the partner who delivers the most significant single referral, such as an introduction to a franchise, business network or major commercial opportunity.
What's Up for Grabs?
There will be one winner in each category, and each winner can choose between:
- A $1,000 AUD Prezzee voucher
- An exclusive "What's in the Box?" mystery prize, tailored to their winning category
With three different categories, partners have multiple opportunities to showcase their strengths and finish the year with a win.
Key dates:
- Campaign starts: 12 November 2026
- Campaign ends: 12 December 2026
- Winners expected to be announced: Around 17 December 2026
Whether you're introducing new businesses to Pinch, creating engaging social content or opening doors to valuable partnerships, now is the time to get involved!

Celebrating the Pinch Community
Behind every payment processed, business onboarded and partnership established are people working to make business simpler.
These end-of-year competitions are our way of recognising the merchants and partners who contribute to the Pinch community and celebrating another year of growth, collaboration and innovation.
Both competitions close on 12 December 2026, so don't miss your chance to participate.
Whether you're sharing your business story or taking on our Partner Challenge, we look forward to celebrating your achievements.
Here's to finishing 2026 on a high note. Good luck to everyone taking part! 💙
