Current work on BECS Transition
Read the February 2025 update on our work on the BECS Transition Program.
The setting of a conditional target end-date of 2030 for the BECS Framework has generated positive and constructive discussions and initiatives in the industry.
As the custodians of the BECS Framework, AusPayNet is committed to ensuring that the transition away from the framework is managed responsibly, with no disruption to the efficient and secure flow of essential payments.
AusPayNet’s extensive three-year consultation on the strategic direction of the Bulk Electronic Clearing System (BECS, also known as Direct Entry) concluded in 2023.
AusPayNet has consulted with BECS members, users of the system and providers of payment alternatives to test the appetite for, and readiness to adopt, BECS alternatives.
