FINANCE COMMUNITY


Our industry is in transformation; consumer behaviour is shifting towards a digital economy, and the cost of handling payments and providing credit is escalating, meaning profits are under increasing threat. New payment types are being developed, increasing competition in the market and potential benefits for retailers, but also bringing new regulations and complexities. 

Through the Finance Community, BRC members can understand these dynamics and maintain pressure on Government to reduce the cost of doing business. 

For examples of recent policy wins on behalf of members from this and other communities, check out our Member Value Statement.
