Interesting that the duration of the agreement and amount to be paid must be disclosed to the RBA 3 months before the agreement can come into effect. For DC date on 3/3/09 that's pretty much a deadline of today !! I wonder what the industry participants are up to at the moment and when will the Reserve Bank will publish the data . TBE...what do you think is an appropriate cost recovery of the transaction and acceptable margin from the banks point of view and RBA's point of view? Obviously if they try to get $1 again the RBA will go mental and ban any interchange fees altogether....that's the threat. Would a bank threaten to pull it's card from Customer's network when negotiating and is it permitted to under the access rules ? Doesn't Customers
5500 machines put it in a strong position at the table with the banks ?
