BNPL Code Compliance Committee

The Buy Now Pay Later Code Compliance Committee (CCC) is an independent committee responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Code of Practice. As part of their role in administering the Code, the CCC will monitor and investigate a Code Compliant Member's compliance, and impose sanctions for non-compliance.

The CCC has been selected to have legal, consumer and industry representatives. As Chair of the BNPL CCC, Dr Schaper’s role is critical to ensuring that oversight of this Code is administered in a fair, reasonable, independent and effective way. As another means to ensure independence, the CCC’s consumer representative was nominated and appointed through the Consumers' Federation of Australia.
