NPP Need-to-know

What is the NPP?

The New Payments Platform [NPP] is Australia’s real-time payments infrastructure. It was developed via industry collaboration to enable Australian consumers, businesses and government agencies to make digital payments — with near real-time funds availability to the recipient — at any time. It facilitates the clearing and settlements of real-time data-rich payments for the Australian digital economy.

NPP Australia [NPPA] is responsible for maintaining and developing the NPP infrastructure to ensure it meets Australia's current and future real-time payments needs.

NPPA is a wholly owned subsidiary of Australian Payments Plus [AP+] which is also home to the BPAY Group and eftpos.

What are NPP payments?

NPP payments are always-on, account-to-account [A2A] funds transfers that settle almost instantly. Beyond the real-time nature of NPP payments, the NPP was built using ISO20022 [the international standard for financial industry messaging] to enable more data to travel with a payment. Zepto's API is aligned to ISO 20022 enabling standardisation, automation, improved reporting and carriage of data-rich payments, all of which are supported by the ISO 20022 messaging standard.

Examples of NPP payments include NPP payouts, PayID payments, Osko payments and PayTo payments.

What are the advantages of NPP payments?

NPP payments are near instant, data-rich and can be made at any hour of the day, seven days a week, 365 days of the year. Operating at the speed of the digital economy and our online lives, they deliver real-time digital payments experience consumers expect, and the efficiencies that business needs.

As NPP payments can process, settle and reconcile in seconds, recipients can have immediate use of funds improving cash flow.

NPP payments can carry up to 280 characters of reference text for a better customer experience.

They can be cost effective, too, compared to other payment methods.
