Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Michele Bullock outlined four critical areas for modernizing the country's payment infrastructure, emphasizing the need to replace the outdated Bulk Electronic Clearing System (BECS). The system, while reliable, lacks modern features like real-time processing and detailed payment information—capabilities offered by newer platforms.
Bullock stressed that innovation and resilience are complementary, not conflicting, objectives. The RBA is collaborating with industry and government to deliver public benefits through these upgrades. The move signals a broader shift toward digital transformation in financial systems, though the announcement did not reference cryptocurrency or blockchain solutions directly.
