We bring rigour to the application of self-regulation and collaborative decision-making.

As the self-regulatory body for payments, we play a pivotal role in the governance of payment systems.

In this section, participants and payments service providers can find more detailed information relating to our payment frameworks. These include:

rules and regulations for each payment system and framework
guidelines, fact sheets and brochures including on rules and security standards
details of all approved ATMs, POS and other devices that may be connected to the network
payments fraud statistics and reports

Rules and Regulations

These documents set out the requirements and processes for exchanging funds between payments participants.

We administer six payment frameworks. Each is managed by a committee reporting directly to our Board.

The Regulations and Procedures for each framework have the effect of a contract under seal between Australian Payments Network and each participant, as well as each participant in that framework.
