“Can Australia's domestic debit network operator evolve from a member-owned clearing infrastructure into an end-to-end payments and digital identity platform under the AP+ umbrella?”
eftpos Payments Australia Limited was established in 2010 to govern Australia's domestic EFTPOS debit card network, which had previously been operated as a consortium of member banks. In 2021, eftpos merged with BPAY Group and NPP Australia to form Australian Payments Plus (AP+), repositioning the combined entity as the operator of Australia's core domestic payment rails including debit cards, BPAY bill payments, and the New Payments Platform (NPP / PayID). The merged AP+ entity has since expanded into digital identity via the connectID pilot, reflecting a strategic shift from pure payment-network operator toward a broader financial infrastructure provider for Australia.
Eftpos processes payments through eftpos network (self-operated) and EFTEX Pty Ltd (eftpos gateway — self-operated).
Eftpos is founded in 2010 and headquartered in Sydney, NSW, Australia.
