“We are delighted to be working in partnership with Transactives to bring a world-class summit to Australia. The global payments landscape is rapidly evolving with new technologies shaping a digital-first mindset – and here in Australia, the NPP will provide a stimulus for yet more innovation. Our summit will bring together a diverse range of participants to interpret the implications, and provide an opportunity to network with national and international decision-makers and disrupters. We invite everyone with a significant interest in payments to join us.”
The industry is anticipating a new era of fast, data-rich payments with NPP. Beyond NPP, the Australian government is holding an inquiry into competition and innovation in financial services and Treasury is exploring appropriate implementation and regulatory models for an Open Banking regime in Australia.
The one-day summit will foster debate on key trends in the payment/transaction space sharing experiences from around the globe. Among others, Open Banking will be one of the key topics, with a panel session moderated by Michael Salmony, executive advisor to board of advisors at equensWorldline, providing insights into Europe’s experience with PSD2.
