The Australian payments landscape is one of the most developed and sophisticated in the world. The growth in the size and breadth of the landscape reflects the record levels of investment flowing into the fintech ecosystem, with the first half of 2022 recording over US$29 billion of investment into the sector.

The KPMG Fintech Landscape 2022 report indicates that currently there are a total of 775 active fintechs in Australia, up from 718 in 2021 and representing an 8% increase year-on-year in number of firms operating in the country. It also states that payments remains the sector that features the highest number of companies in the Australian fintech landscape, with 19% of fintech firms in Australia sitting in this sub-sector.
