Superannuation clearing houses and electronic payment facilities
A non-cash payment (NCP) facility is a facility through which a person (the client) can make a payment, or cause a payment to be made, otherwise than through the physical delivery of Australian or foreign currency: see s763D. As part of the regulatory regime, persons providing financial services in relation to NCP facilities are subject to the licensing, conduct and disclosure provisions of the Corporations Act.
The Corporations Act and Corporations Regulations 2001 exclude certain payment facilities from being financial products, and certain providers from providing a financial service. Our policy statement In November 2005, ASIC published its policy on how it would regulate NCP facilities under the Corporations Act: see Policy Statement 185 Non-cash payment facilities [PS 185] and Information Release [IR 05-60] ASIC adopts a flexible approach to the regulation of non-cash payment facilities.
