Payments System Board Update: August 2020 Meeting

At its meeting today, the Payments System Board discussed a number of issues, including:

  • The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Australian payments system. Payment system operators
    and retail payment service providers have continued to cope well with the operational challenges posed
    by the pandemic. Financial market infrastructures have also continued to perform well in recent
    months.
  • The assessment of the ASX clearing and settlement facilities against the Bank’s Financial
    Stability Standards. The Board approved the Bank’s 2020 assessment, which will be published after
    it has been provided to the Treasurer and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
  • The Review of Retail Payments Regulation. While the Review remains on hold, staff have continued work
    in several areas. The Board discussed preliminary proposals for improving price transparency in the
    merchant acquiring market. The Bank is planning to step up consultation with stakeholders with a view
    to formally restarting the Review in the next few months.
  • Recent changes in the use and acceptance of cash associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, and the
    potential implications of declining cash use for the provision of cash distribution services by banks
    and other market participants. There has been further rationalisation of ATM fleets by some banks and
    other deployers during the past year, as well as moves by some participants to establish ATM utilities.
    Members noted the importance of the community continuing to have good access to cash withdrawal and
    deposit services, even as the overall use of cash for transactions declines.
  • The issues around possible issuance of a retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) or e-AUD.
    Consistent with previous discussions, members considered that at present there is not a strong
    public-policy case for issuance in Australia, given that the electronic payments system in Australia
    compares very favourably with those in many other countries and access to cash remains good.
    Nonetheless, the Board will continue to closely watch the experience of other jurisdictions. The Bank
    is continuing to research the technological and policy implications of a wholesale form of CBDC and is
    working to develop a proof-of-concept with external parties to explore aspects of wholesale CBDC,
    building on research the Bank did in its Innovation Lab last year.
  • Card payments fraud. The latest industry payment fraud statistics showed a substantial drop in
    card-not-present (CNP) fraud losses in 2019. This was the first decline in eight years and occurred
    even though there was continued strong growth in the use of cards. The Board welcomed the
    industry’s efforts to tackle CNP fraud in recent years and encouraged participants to continue to
    support the AusPayNet-administered CNP Fraud Mitigation Framework that was introduced in 2019 as well
    as other fraud detection and prevention initiatives.
  • Cyber risk initiatives. Members were briefed on a range of initiatives to improve cyber
    resilience, including the Government’s Australian Cyber Security Strategy 2020, its consultation
    to uplift security and resilience of critical infrastructure and the Council of Financial
    Regulators’ framework for testing the strength of institutions’ cyber resilience.
  • The Board is meeting this afternoon with the Australian Payments Council.
