Australian Payments Network

Australian Payments Network (AusPayNet) champions the payments system, enabling competition and innovation, promoting efficiency, and controlling and managing risk to deliver improvements for all users of the payments system. Its role includes inspiring innovation, facilitating self-regulation, coordinating system-wide standards, and policy development. Its network includes more than 150 members and participants across four broad membership categories: participant members, operator members, affiliate members, and payment service provider members.
