Illustration for Retail Payment System Act 2022

When the Commission decides to give a direction about setting or changing network rules, they must think about some things. They need to consider if there are any features of the retail payment network, or things that people in the network are doing, that limit competition or efficiency. The Commission must take these things into account when deciding what the direction should say.
