Scott Farrell, who brings over 20 years of experience in financial markets and financial systems law as a partner at KWM, has been appointed to the PSB – which has responsibility for determining the Reserve Bank of Australia’s payments system policy – for a five-year period by the Morrison government.

 
 

Mr Farrell has led, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg noted in a statement, a number of reviews for the Australian government, including the review into open banking in Australia in 2017, the inquiry into future directions for the consumer data right in 2020, and the review of the Australian payments system in 2021.

He also currently sits on the board of Industry, Innovation and Science Australia and is a member of the government’s Ministerial Advisory Council on Free Trade Agreements.

“The appointment of Mr Farrell maintains the high level of skills and experience on the PSB Board,” Treasurer Frydenberg said.
