Report Highlights

The major issue in the Australian payment card market in recent years has been that of interchange. Over the last few years, the RBA has been conducting a wide-ranging reform of Australian payment systems and has slashed interchange levels. The RBA has just begun a review of these reforms and expects to publish its findings in 2008.

Australia enjoys an excellent ATM and POS infrastructure. In June 2006 there were 823 people to each ATM and 38 people to each payment card terminal. These penetration levels are on a par and often exceed those found in most European markets.

Credit cards are forecast to grow the most strongly over the next five years. Credit card numbers are expected to reach 18.5 million in 2011, which will equate to a penetration level of 88.3 per cent, compared to the 2006 penetration level of 77.5 per cent.
