In 2024, 99.3% of all customer interactions with banks occurred through digital channels — web banking, mobile apps, and chatbots. Over the past five years, online logins via mobile apps increased by 87%, while branch visits dropped by 46% in cities and 63% in regional areas. These figures come from a report by the Australian Banking Association, prepared in partnership with Accenture.

Notably, the frequency of banking interactions grew by 68% between 2019 and 2024, and chatbot inquiries rose by 1,778% during the same period. At the same time, cash withdrawals from ATMs are decreasing annually by 9% since 2019.

Meanwhile, mobile wallet usage increased 23-fold compared to 2019. In 2024, Australians made payments totaling 160 billion Australian dollars through mobile wallets — 28% more than the previous year. The number of transactions via mobile wallets reached 4.03 billion.

Despite widespread digitalization, banks continue to invest in offline infrastructure. Australia maintains a network of over 3,400 banking service points operating within postal branches, providing offline services in remote regions where about 27% of the population lives. At the same time, the number of ATMs steadily declined, from 32,600 in 2016 to fewer than 25,000 in 2024.

A decade-long tug-of-war ends: "Crypto Market Structure Bill" sprints to the Senate

At the Blockchain Association Policy Summit, U.S. Senators Gillibrand and Lummis stated that the "Crypto Market Structure Bill" is expected to have its draft released by the end of this week, with revisions and hearings scheduled for next week. The bill aims to establish clear boundaries for digital assets by adopting a classification-based regulatory framework, clearly distinguishing between digital commodities and digital securities, and providing a pathway for exemptions for mature blockchains to ensure that regulation does not stifle technological progress. The bill also requires digital commodity trading platforms to register with the CFTC and establishes a joint advisory committee to prevent regulatory gaps or overlapping oversight.
