We welcome the publication of the vision for the future of account-to-account (A2A) payments in Australia by the A2A Payments Roundtable, providing a framework for the development of an industry roadmap.     Our CEO, Andy White, said, “The publication of the vision is an important milestone for account-to-account payments in Australia and provides a clear reference point for industry to develop a roadmap for the future. Importantly, it creates an opportunity to bring all stakeholders together on priorities, outcomes and next steps.”     AusPayNet will make decisions on the future of BECS, taking into consideration the output and recommendations of the industry roadmap work by the A2A Payments Roundtable.    Our full media release is available here https://lnkd.in/g-Qv-QGB     #A2Apayments #BECS #Payments #AustralianPayments #PaymentsAustralia

What does this mean for you? From November 2026, the use of fully unstructured postal addresses in cross-border and urgent payments will no longer be accepted.

Yesterday, AusPayNet staff volunteered to spend the day at Pocket City Farms, a charity which empowers communities through education to improve the natural environment through sustainable thinking and action.    Their experience sparked great conversations across the team and highlighted how small, everyday action can make a meaningful impact.    Sustainability is something we embrace in our daily practices at our head office, with initiatives including recycling and composting programs, alongside opportunities throughout the year to learn more about environmental topics such as beekeeping and food waste.    A big thank you to the team at Pocket City Farms for sharing their knowledge and passion with us 🌿     #LifeAtAusPayNet #PocketCityFarm #AusPayNet
