Eftpos Payment Asustralia Limited Submission to Review of The
eftpos Payments Australia Limited Level 11 45 Clarence Street Sydney NSW 2000 GPO Box 126 Sydney NSW 2001 Telephone +61 2 8270 1800 Facsimile +61 2 9299 2885 eftposaustralia.com.au 22 January 2021 Secretariat Payments System Review The Treasury Langton Crescent PARKES ACT 2600 [email protected] Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the Treasury Department’s Payments System Review: Issues Paper dated November 2020 (Review). The Review is timely as Australia’s payments system is on the cusp of a fundamental transformation driven by a combination of digital technologies, nimble new fintech players and changes in consumer and merchant payment preferences accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) is conducting its Retail Payments Regulatory Review, which commenced in 2019 (RBA Review) but was postponed due to COVID-19 and there is a proposal to consolidate Australia’s domestic payments systems which has potential implications for competition within the Australian domestic schemes, as well as with existing and emerging competitors in the Australian payments market through all channels. Getting the regulatory architecture right will set Australia up for success in the digital economy for the short term and in years to come. However, a substandard regulatory architecture has the potential to stall technologically driven innovation and stymie future competition, efficiencies and enhanced end user outcomes. eftpos’ response comprises: Part A – eftpos’ position statement Part B – eftpos’ background Part C – responses to specific questions in the Review. We would be pleased to meet to discuss any aspects of this submission.

NPCI Appoints FIME to Set up the Certification Body for India's
NPCI appoints FIME to set up the certification body for India’s Payment Scheme, RuPay FIME to define, manage and execute certification programme for RuPay 6 March 2014 – National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), the umbrella organisation of all retail payment systems in the country, has appointed advanced secure-chip testing provider FIME to deliver its RuPay certification programme. NPCI will utilise FIME’s expertise in setting up EMV®-based certification board for its card payment scheme- RuPay. FIME will define the certification specification, laboratory setup, test plan specification, test tools and operate the certification board for RuPay. FIME will also be involved in setting up the certification process including the associated administrative and business operations. This certification board will be effective from March 2014. This will ensure all payment cards and point-of-sale terminals deployed under the brand align to the requirements of RuPay specifications. It will also ensure necessary infrastructural alignment of acquirers and issuers with the payment system. Prakash Sambandam, Director of FIME India says: “Many countries have, or are in the process of migrating to the EMV payment standard. Transitioning to a chip payment infrastructure will take time and require the implementation of new product development cycles. Adhering to RuPay, an EMV payment scheme will ensure that the products achieve the required functional and security standards and perform as intended, once live in the marketplace. This level of compliance is vital to ensure product interoperability and security optimisation”. In addition to enhanced security, the new payment platform presents opportunities to deliver advanced payment solutions – such as mobile and contactless payments – which are based on secure-chip technology. -

PIN Debit Networks November 7, 2013
Meeting Between Federal Reserve Board Staff and Representatives of PIN Debit Networks November 7, 2013 Participants: Louise Roseman, Stephanie Martin, Jeffrey Marquardt, Susan Foley, David Mills, Samantha Pelosi, Mark Manuszak, Krzysztof Wozniak, Tyler Standage, Aaron Rosenbaum, and Linda Healey (Federal Reserve Board) Terry Maher (Baird Holm LLP); Leah Work (CO-OP Financial Services); Jonathan Genovese and Rob Rankin (Jeanie Network); Cathy Morrissey (NETS); Robert Woodbury (NYCE Payments Network); Judith McGuire (PULSE); Scott Dobesh and Terry Dooley (Shazam Network); Nancy Loomis (Star Network); Paul Tomasofsky (Two Sparrows Consulting) Summary: Representatives of several PIN debit networks met with Federal Reserve Board staff to discuss their observations of market developments related to deployment of EMV (i.e., chip-based) debit cards in the United States. Issues discussed included (i) technological aspects of EMV payment cards with a focus on methods for enabling multiple networks on an EMV card, and (ii) the network participants’ views of issuer, merchant, and payment card network concerns related to EMV deployment, particularly as those concerns pertain to Regulation II’s prohibition on network exclusivity and merchant routing restrictions. In particular, the network representatives stressed the importance of industry adoption of an EMV model that best facilitates merchant routing choice, and expressed concern that the current approach advocated by Visa and MasterCard does not meet this objective.

ABSTRACT The organization of automated teller machine (ATM) and electronic banking services in the United States has undergone significant structural changes in the past two or three years that raise questions about the long term prospects for the retail banking industry, the nature of network competition, ATM service pricing, and what role ATMs will play in the development of an interstate banking system. In this paper we investigate ways that banks use ATM services and membership in ATM networks as strategic marketing tools. We also examine how the changes in the size, number, and ownership of ATM networks (from banks or groups of banks to independent operators) have impacted the structure of ATM deployment in the retail banking industry. Finally, we consider how movement toward market saturation is changing how the public values electronic banking services, and what this means for bankers. -

Department of Co^ rvxACQL -* r__>QXj (j[ JUv^k The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date AfC\ > ZofW DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT This thesis concerns the effects of network member features on the pricing of automated teller machine (ATM) transactions. The first chapter outlines the development of ATM networks and provides an institutional and public policy backdrop for the theoretical and empirical analysis in the thesis. ATM fees have recently received increased attention in North America due to the Interac abuse of dominance case in Canada and the widespread introduction of surcharge fees at ATMs in the United States. In Chapter 2, a new circular spatial model of ATM networks is developed and used to analyze the pricing preferences of banks when choosing to link their proprietary ATM networks into a shared network. -
The State of Digital Payments in the Philippines (Released in 2015) Found That Adoption Had Been Limited
COUNTRY DIAGNOSTIC The State of Digital Payments in the Philippines DECEMBER 2019 PHILIPPINES Authors Project Leads: Keyzom Ngodup Massally, Rodrigo Mejía Ricart Technical authors: Malavika Bambawale, Swetha Totapally, and Vineet Bhandari Cover photo: © Better Than Cash Alliance/Erwin Nolido 1 FOREWORD Our country was one of the first to pioneer digital payments nearly 20 years ago. Recognizing the untapped market potential and the opportunity to foster greater access to financial inclusion, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has worked, hand in hand, with the government and the leaders across financial, retail, and regulatory sectors to boost digital payments. Over the past three years, since the launch of the first digital payments diagnostic, the Philippines has experienced remarkable progress toward building an inclusive digital payments ecosystem. In 2013, digital payments accounted for only 1% of the country’s total transaction volume. In 2018, this follow through diagnostic study showed that the volume of digital payments increased to 10% corresponding to 20% share in the total transaction value. These numbers speak of significant progress and success. I am optimistic that e-payments will gain further momentum as we have laid the necessary building blocks to accelerate innovation and inclusive growth over the next few years. Notably, Filipino women are ahead of men in the uptake of digital payments, placing us ahead of global standards. The rise of fintech and their solutions are starting to play a transformative role, as we can see from the rapidly-growing adoption of the emerging QR codes for digital transactions. I am confident that the BSP has built a good digital foundation and is well positioned to leverage fintech in increasing the share of digital payments toward a cash- lite Philippines.
