Scope

• New Zealand is making progress on open banking. In March 2018, Payments NZ along with six partners - ASB Bank, BNZ, Westpac, Datacom, Paymark, and TradeMe - conducted a pilot to test open banking and digital payments in the country. Following this, in March 2019 Payments NZ launched the first set of API standards for payment initiation and account information. While Payments NZ will establish the framework and standards, banks and third parties are required to negotiate how they share the costs of operating open banking services.


• In March 2019, UK-based payment processing company Worldpay revealed plans to open two new sales offices in Australia and expand its business to New Zealand, where it has been granted a new card payment processing license. The license will allow the company to process transactions for merchants trading in New Zealand domestically. Worldpay, which recently confirmed a $43bn merger agreement with FIS, expects the investment in the region to help bolster its market presence and enhance payment processing capabilities for clients operating in the e-commerce space.


• To capitalize on the growing preference for online shopping, in January 2018 Westpac partnered with Paymark to introduce Online EFTPOS for its users. The service enables consumers to pay for online transactions using their mobile banking app, eliminating the need to provide bank account or payment card details. When the user selects the Online EFTPOS payment method during checkout, a payment request is sent to the user’s mobile banking app, which needs to be confirmed to complete the transaction.
