AusPayNet launches public consultation on account-to-account payments

They aim to identify current and future payment needs and expectations of users.

The Australian Payments Network (AusPayNet) and Australian Payments Plus (AP+) have launched a public consultation for the future of account-to-account payments in Australia.

The consultation aims to identify the current and future payment needs and expectations of users, AusPayNet said in a statement posted on its website on 2 July 2025.

The goal is to design a modern A2A payments ecosystem that “meets the needs of its users well into the future.”

The responses are expected to help shape an industry plan for the account-to-account payments system, with high-level deliverables and milestones, including clear prioritisation and sequencing.

“This consultation provides a broad range of stakeholders the chance to provide input into how the system can be modernised to meet the opportunities and challenges of the future, in the public interest,” said Brad Jones, assistant governor (Financial System), Reserve Bank of Australia.
