Australian Banking Association

Status Tracked

The banks’ industry body. Told the RBA in 2025 that banks strongly support the surcharge ban but asked for no change to interchange settings; on 1 October 2026 its chief executive Simon Birmingham said the change was not a meaningful one, and its surcharging page blames other payments firms if small-business costs do not fall, citing no example.

Fig. 02 / Named together

The 12 names most often in the same articles as Australian Banking Association. A line's weight, and the number by each name, is how many articles name both. Grey chords join the neighbours most often named together themselves (two articles or more). Circles are people and organisations, squares are mechanisms. Named together is all this shows: it is not a finding about what the relationship is.
