In 2024, 99.3% of all customer interactions with banks occurred through digital channels — web banking, mobile apps, and chatbots. Over the past five years, online logins via mobile apps increased by 87%, while branch visits dropped by 46% in cities and 63% in regional areas. These figures come from a report by the Australian Banking Association, prepared in partnership with Accenture.

Notably, the frequency of banking interactions grew by 68% between 2019 and 2024, and chatbot inquiries rose by 1,778% during the same period. At the same time, cash withdrawals from ATMs are decreasing annually by 9% since 2019.

Meanwhile, mobile wallet usage increased 23-fold compared to 2019. In 2024, Australians made payments totaling 160 billion Australian dollars through mobile wallets — 28% more than the previous year. The number of transactions via mobile wallets reached 4.03 billion.

Despite widespread digitalization, banks continue to invest in offline infrastructure. Australia maintains a network of over 3,400 banking service points operating within postal branches, providing offline services in remote regions where about 27% of the population lives. At the same time, the number of ATMs steadily declined, from 32,600 in 2016 to fewer than 25,000 in 2024.
