Sydney, Australia. 2008.5.15 - Digital Tsunami has integrated the ANZ eGate payment gateway to enable Foodbank Australia and the 5 State Foodbanks to receive charitable donations through their websites.
 

 
Foodbank Australia is the national organisation responsible for promoting the foodbank concept at federal government, national corporate and public levels. Independent state Foodbanks exist in NSW, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia.
 
Foodbanks receive fresh, frozen and packaged food and grocery products from manufacturers for distribution to Australians in need, via more than 1,400 charitable organisations. Products are perfectly suitable for consumption, but may have outdated packaging, be legally underweight or have other characteristics (like details of competitions which have ended), which render them unsaleable. Rather than dumping, which has negative impact on the manufacturer’s bottom line as well as on the the environment, Foodbank offers a cost-effective, non-competitive, socially responsible alternative.
 
ANZ was the perfect fit for delivering the e.commerce solution as it has been a stalwart Foodbank supporter for many years. Digital Tsunami proposed and integrated the solution. Digital Tsunami developed the second generation web presence for Foodbank in 2000 and then the latest iteration in 2007, when the brand identity was refreshed.
