From Regulation to Reinvention: What's Next for Payments in Australia

Australia’s payments landscape is entering a new era, shaped by regulatory reform, rapid technological advancement, evolving customer expectations, and new forms of competition. As the industry modernises, payments leaders are navigating the challenge of responding to regulatory change while continuing to innovate, strengthen trust, and deliver faster, safer and more seamless payment experiences.

This panel will explore the forces reshaping Australia’s payments ecosystem and what they mean for the future of the industry. From regulatory and infrastructure developments to emerging technologies, new business models and changing consumer behaviours, panellists will discuss where the greatest opportunities are emerging, the challenges still to be addressed, and how organisations can prepare for what comes next.

The conversation will also look beyond compliance to consider how regulation can act as a catalyst for reinvention—and what it will take for Australia to build a payments ecosystem that is innovative, resilient, inclusive and ready for the next generation of commerce.
