  • Australia's Best Banking Methodology Report
    Mozo Experts Choice Awards Australia’s Best Banking 2021 This report covers Mozo Experts Choice Australia’s Best Banking Awards for 2021. These awards recognise financial product providers who consistently provide great value across a range of different retail banking products. Throughout the past 12 months, we’ve announced awards for the best value products in home loans, personal loans, bank accounts, savings and term deposit accounts, credit cards, kids’ accounts. In each area we identified the most important features of each product, grouped each product into like-for-like comparisons, and then calculated which are better value than most. The Mozo Experts Choice Australia's Best Banking awards take into account all of the analysis we've done in that period. We look at which banking providers were most successful in taking home Mozo Experts Choice Awards in each of the product areas. But we also assess how well their products ranked against everyone else, even where they didn't necessarily win an award, to ensure that we recognise banking providers who are providing consistent value as well as areas of exceptional value. Product providers don’t pay to be in the running and we don’t play favourites. Our judges base their decision on hard-nosed calculations of value to the consumer, using Mozo’s extensive product database and research capacity. When you see a banking provider proudly displaying a Mozo Experts Choice Awards badge, you know that they are a leader in their field and are worthy of being on your banking shortlist. 1 Mozo Experts Choice Awards Australia’s Best Banking 2021 Australia’s Best Bank Australia’s Best Online Bank Australia's Best Large Mutual Bank Australia's Best Small Mutual Bank Australia’s Best Credit Union Australia’s Best Major Bank 2 About the winners ING has continued to offer Australians a leading range of competitively priced home and personal loans, credit cards and deposits, earning its place as Australia's Best Bank for the third year in a row.

  • Methodology Report
    Mozo Experts Choice Awards Deposits 2019 Every day, Mozo keeps track of thousands of products in banking, insurance and energy. Unlike some other awards, providers don’t ‘enter’ the Mozo Experts Choice Awards nor do they pay to be considered. Our in-house team of experts analyse all the product data they’ve been tracking and scour the market to see if there are any other worthy candidates. Then we use our data and our experience to make a hard-nosed assessment of those products, to identify which offer great value or market-leading features. We recognise the leading products with the Mozo Experts Choice Awards. ● For product providers, a Mozo Experts Choice Award is a thoroughly researched third-party endorsement of their product. ● For consumers, the Mozo Experts Choice Awards badge is a sign that a product is among the leaders in the market, and is worthy of consideration. This report lists the winners and explains the judging methodology for our 2019 Deposit awards. 1 ​ Deposits - 2019 Winners Transaction Accounts Everyday Bank of the Year Exceptional Everyday Account Bank of Sydney Everyday Saver Account Bankwest Hero Transaction Account Bankwest Qantas Transaction Account BOQ Specialist Everyday Plus Account Citi Global Currency Account Citi Plus Transaction Account ING Orange Everyday Macquarie Platinum Transaction Account Macquarie Transaction Account UBank USaver Ultra Transaction Account Up Bank Everyday Account Best New Transaction Account Citi Global Currency Account 2 ​ Student Bank Account Community First Credit Union Student

  • Global Payments 2020-30 a Quantium Shift in the Next Decade Australia's Challenge
    McLean Roche Consulting Group Global Payments 2020-30 A quantium shift in the next decade Australia’s challenge – to keep up 1 Submission To RBA Payments Boards – Future of Payments – January 2020 McLean Roche Consulting Group AUSTRALIA’S PAYMENT CHALLENGE Australian payments will see more change in the next 10 years than the last 40 years combined. Australia has an expensive US/Anglo legacy based retail payments system which will be challenge by new technology, new data uses, new players and the need to protect consumer rights and data. Consumer retail payments total $975.7 billion in 2019 and will reach $3.2 trillion by 2030. A faster rate of expansion will occur in SME and Corporate payments. Payments are a very high volume, low margin business with even the smallest changes in revenues or margins delivering significant changes in actual dollars. Regulators around the globe will be challenged by forces of change and this requires all regulators and politicians to be aware of the scale of change and ensure the regulatory frame work changes and evolves quickly. 4 MYTHS DOMINATE THE NARRATIVE 1. CASH WILL DISAPPEAR – many including regulators keep predicting the death of cash. While bank notes may disappear, various forms of cash now dominate retail payments in Australia combining to total 71% share. 2. CREDIT CARDS DOMINATE LENDING – consumer credit cards are in decline having peaked 8 years ago. All the leading indicators are falling – average balance, average spend, revolve rate and number of cards. Corporate and Commercial cards are the only growth story. 3. DIGITAL PAYMENTS ARE THE FUTURE – many payment products use the ‘digital’ tag for marketing ‘glint’ however the reality is all payment products using Visa, MasterCard, Amex or eftpos payment networks are not digital.
