Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) shows a decline in the past<br />

year in Australian Deposit Taking Institutions (ADIs) offering a branch level of<br />

service but an increase in other ‘face to face’ services. At the same time, customer<br />

uptake of online and mobile banking continues to grow as these digital channels<br />

offer products and services to their customers effectively 24x7. Customers expect<br />

to get cash at midnight, pay bills from the laptop in the lounge room and check<br />

balances when they are away from home.<br />

Australian bank customers also expect fairness, transparency, accountability and<br />

reliability from their financial institutions. These expectations including in relation<br />

to the fairness of fees, are being expressed in litigation. Credit providers are under<br />

real pressure. Significantly a series of bank fee class actions for repayment of fees,<br />

including honour and dishonour fees on bank accounts, as well as over limit and<br />

late payment fees on credit cards, promise to be the largest collective legal action<br />

ever in Australia.<br />
