New Payments Platform New payments platform The industry approach to minimising real-time payments fraud KPMG.com.au | nppa.com.au Executive summary The New Payments Platform (NPP) is new, world-leading domestic payments infrastructure that enables connected Australian financial institutions to offer their customers – consumers, businesses and government agencies – near real-time, data- rich inter-bank payments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The platform launched to the public on 13 February 2018. It is an open platform that is designed to support multiple overlay services which could be offered by a range of service providers from the fintech and financial services community, or from any other sector outside of the traditional payments industry. It is in this ‘layering’ of the architecture that the NPP offers opportunity for future innovation and development. The NPP’s distributed architecture design is the result of intensive industry collaboration over several years, between the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and Australian financial institutions – large and small – to design and build a secure platform for domestic payment services that meets the needs of Australia’s digital economy. It is arguably one of the most significant pieces of national payments infrastructure to be built in Australia in decades.

    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.

    New Payments Platform Roadmap 2019 Enhancing the platform’s capabilities 28 October 2019 NPP AUSTRALIA LIMITED ABN: 68 601 428 737 © 2019 NPP Australia Limited. Third party material reproduced with permission. Page 2 Introduction The New Payments Platform (NPP) is designed to support a 24/7 modern, digital economy. It provides a fast, flexible and data-rich payments system that enables Australian consumers, businesses and government agencies to make real-time data rich payments between accounts at participating Australian financial institutions. In contrast to payments between bank accounts using the Direct Entry system (which are settled in batches, several times during the day or the next business day), payments made by the NPP move value in real-time between bank accounts, are available 24/7/365 and can carry more data. Operating as utility payments infrastructure, the NPP was commissioned and funded by NPP Australia Limited’s (NPPA) founding shareholders1 for and on behalf of the Australian payments industry. NPPA is a public company established to oversee the development and operation of the NPP. The NPP brings enormous potential for future payments innovation through its speed, data capability, open-access design and unique layered architecture. The platform can support multiple products and services as well as enable digital processes, which can deliver back-office efficiencies and cost savings to Australian businesses and government agencies. The NPP has extensive capabilities, in particular: NPPA is committed to ongoing investment to extend and enhance the capability of the platform to meet the needs of participating financial institutions, payment providers and users of the wider payments ecosystem.
