Securing Australia’s $150B Real-Time Payments Market

Australia is one of the world’s most advanced digital payments markets, with over $150 billion in real-time payments processed annually through the Australian Payments Platform (APP) and rapid adoption of digital wallets and online transactions. As payment volumes continue to grow, so do fraud risks, cyber threats, and regulatory scrutiny, making payment security a top priority for organizations operating in the region.

A Rapidly Evolving Payments Landscape

Real-time payments have grown by over 25% in the last 2 years, offering speed and convenience but also increasing exposure to scams and fraud

Fraud incidents in Australian payments rose by nearly 15% year-on-year, highlighting the need for stronger security measures and monitoring.

New & Strengthened Regulatory Mandates

Australia has introduced and reinforced rules to protect the payment ecosystem, including:

Mandatory incident reporting and operational resilience requirements for all payment providers
Strengthened focus on fraud prevention, detection, and response

Greater oversight of fintechs and digital payment platforms to ensure secure adoption of the APP
