Dear Community,It’s been an exciting fortnight with Finnie award winners announcement at the Gala night in Melbourne. Congratulations to all the winners and finalists. Pictures and videos from the night are also now available. Thank you to all for making it a huge success.It’s business as usual at FinTech Australia. We will strengthen our focus on driving the policy agenda with the new Government. We will also be engaging with all the regulators to discuss the key priorities.Our immediate priority is regarding the independent review of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). we welcome this review and support a holistic consideration of the RBA’s performance and mandate. We are also excited about the launch of Payto. While we wait for the banks to enable it to their customers, we look forward to the ramp up of the system and use cases that come from it. We will be advocating on behalf of our members for reforms of payment regulation alongside decisions about CDR.We are also close to finalising the program for Intersekt this year. It’s going to be bigger than ever and will have more updates to share soon. Early bird tickets are now available for purchase. If you have any suggestions, please reach out.We’re headed to our next meetup in Brisbane on 13th July. Register early as we have limited space for the event.For any queries, feedback or suggestions please reach out to us.
