Description of Conduct

On 1 August 2017, the Australian Bankers’ Association Inc (ABA) applied to revoke the previous Authorisation (A91312) and substitute a new, effectively similar authorisation in place. The ABA sought authorisation for a group of banks (12 in total) and 1 ATM deployer to continue to provide fee-free access to ATM services in very remote indigenous communities.

On 26 October 2017, the ACCC released a draft determination proposing to grant authorisation and also granted interim authorisation to allow the parties to continue to provide fee-free access to ATM services after the expiry of the previous authorisation.

On 21 December 2017, the ACCC granted authorisation to the ABA for ten years until 12 January 2028.
