Australia is unexpectedly emerging as a global epicentre for real-time payments. Launching Pay by Bank on Amazon Australia in partnership with NAB is the first of many developments Banked : has cooking up in the region. As this article in the The Australian Financial Review explains, this is due in large part to the development of the New Payments Platform (NPP) which was purpose-built from scratch rather than retrofitting older infrastructure. With Australia witnessing an explosion in debit-based and digital payments, Brad Goodall, CEO and co-founder of Banked :, says that merchants and consumers “want alternatives to cards, and A2A payments are increasingly the answer”. Jon Adams, executive, enterprise payments at NAB, says, “There was a time when Australians lived on their credit cards. Now…we expect contactless payments to account for 95 per cent of in-person purchases in the coming years. People want speed, control, and security.” Check out the link for a deeper dive into why Australia is going to set the pace on Pay by Bank for the rest of the world. https://lnkd.in/getxKzYU #paybybank #paymentsaustralia #realtimepayments #A2A #paymentsinnovation
