Insights

As the payments landscape evolves, we interpret the implications for the payments industry.

AusPayNet adopts an inquisitive and proactive mindset in responding to the requirements of the changing payments landscape. We interpret and respond to change by:

  • leading public consultations and research initiatives
  • facilitating workshops to engender debate among members and the wider community
  • participating in domestic and international forums and conferences
  • liaising with regulators, including the Reserve Bank, government bodies and institutions overseas

We share our insights and research through our blog, events and publications.

Blogs

Find out about the key payments developments, emerging issues and trends that are shaping the future of payments in Australia and internationally.   

Summit

We host an annual payments summit which is comprised of a dynamic mix of interviews and panel discussions.

Publications

Our regular newsletter, reports and other publications help inform the broader community about how payments are changing.  

Policy

As the industry association and self-regulatory body, we work with industry stakeholders, government regulators and the wider community to provide thought leadership and policy development for the payments industry. Our aim is to foster an efficient, effective payment system.

Fraud Statistics

We monitor payments fraud data collected across all financial institutions and card schemes to help strengthen the fight against fraud in Australia. This data is published twice-yearly to help inform Australian businesses and consumers about fraud trends and prevention.

Initiatives

Bringing industry and NSW Transport together, we developed the framework for 'Open-Loop' transit. We are supporting the Australian Payments Council as it considers an industry approach for 'Digital Identity'. The availability and use of data is also a focus as we explore an 'Open Banking' initiative.
