The vision for account-to-account payments
The Account-to-Account Payments Roundtable, which brings together AusPayNet, AP+, the RBA and Commonwealth Treasury under ACCC authorisation, has published a draft vision for account-to-account (A2A) payments in Australia for feedback via a public consultation.
The draft vision sets out the desired long-term outcomes for Australia’s A2A payments system and has been developed through the Roundtable process following broad engagement with stakeholders, and drawing extensively on last year’s public consultation on the future of A2A payments undertaken by AusPayNet and AP+.
