1. The future vision for account-to-account payments
The Account-to-Account Payments Roundtable, which brings together AP+, AusPayNet, the RBA and Commonwealth Treasury under ACCC authorisation, has published a draft vision for account-to-account (A2A) payments in Australia for feedback via a public consultation.
The draft vision sets out the desired long-term outcomes for Australia’s A2A payments system and has been informed by a public consultation launched by AP+ and AusPayNet in July 2025, which sought submissions on the current and future payment needs and expectations of A2A users.

How to make a submission
Written submissions on the draft vision for account-to-account payments can be made to [email protected]. Submissions close 22 May 2026.
Next steps
The publication of the draft vision for feedback marks the next step in a broader, multi-step process to shape a shared vision for the future of A2A payments in Australia, along with an industry roadmap to deliver it.
2. NPP capabilities and enhancements
AP+ sought stakeholder feedback on NPP capabilities through a public consultation in July 2025, focusing on potential enhancements and future capabilities to support the migration of payments to the NPP and evolving user needs. The findings report can be accessed below. AP+ will be using these findings to input into future capability design and assist with delivery prioritisation of future capabilities in the NPP roadmap.
In March 2026, AP+ published a paper outlining a proposed set of enhancements to the NPP to support bulk payments use cases for feedback. Submissions closed on 8 April 2026, and we thank all individuals, organisations and stakeholders who took the time to contribute.
