Keep Me Posted Australia
Keep Me Posted AU (KMP) is a campaign advocating every Australian’s right to choose, free of charge, how they receive important financial information. Increasingly, businesses are restricting access to paper bills and statements, denying their customers an informed choice. We believe it is the right of every consumer to determine how their banks, utility companies and other service providers communicate to them. KMP is a partnership of interest groups, charities, political representatives and businesses that represent Australians who are disadvantaged by lack of choice, or simply do not agree with the status quo.
In December 2017, Treasury undertook a National consultation into paper billing fees, potentially the first step towards a legislative ban on paper fees. Read more about the consultation.
