Australia’s payments future
Real-time payments have become part of everyday life in Australia, with over $8 billion moving via the NPP each day. As adoption grows, fast, efficient, secure payments via the NPP are becoming a cornerstone of a modern, competitive and innovative Australian economy.
As the operator of the NPP, AP+ has an extensive program of work underway to ensure the NPP has the capability, capacity, reach and resilience to easily handle large volumes of transactions in real-time.

Public consultations
To help shape the future direction of account-to-account payments in Australia, AP+ recently sought feedback from end users and stakeholders through two public consultations:
The future vision for account-to-account payments
In partnership with AusPayNet, and with the support of the RBA and Treasury, this consultation collected feedback on the current and future payment needs and expectations of the users of Australia’s account-to-account payments systems.
Future NPP capabilities and enhancements
This consultation collected input on the key capabilities and improvements needed in the future for the NPP to support end user needs.
A2A Payments Roundtable
The Account-to-Account Payments Roundtable is a series of roundtables being held between AusPayNet, AP+, the RBA and Commonwealth Treasury. These roundtables will help shape a shared vision for the future of account-to-account payments in Australia and define high-level deliverables and milestones for achieving that vision, including clear prioritisation and sequencing.
Members of BECS and the NPP as well as other relevant stakeholders, including key end-user groups and any operators of alternative payment systems, will be engaged through the roundtable process.
The roundtable process is being conducted under the authorisation granted by the ACCC (with conditions) on 1 August 2025. The first session was held on 5 September 2025, with subsequent sessions expected to follow every four to six weeks over the next six months.
The roundtable meetings updates can be read here.
