The engine in Australia’s financial services remains steady, with record-high super assets and well-capitalised banks.
However, the regulatory bar keeps climbing for these institutions, as they navigate the Financial Accountability Regime Act, climate disclosures, and CPS190 obligations. As rulebooks get tougher, and customers and markets become more unforgiving with delays, robust frameworks and plans have never been more critical.
We work with directors to establish clear lines of accountability and discuss recovery options that work for your business. Together, we’ll help you build a plan that stands up to APRA, ASIC and your Board, with disclosures that withstand stringent assurance processes.
Olvera believes in working with you as partners. As a client, you can expect pragmatic plans that are executable in weeks – not months, and a fee structure aligned to your goals. We’re here to deliver profitability that lasts.
Payments, Fintech & Private Credit The payments and fintech landscape spans merchant acquiring, BNPL, digital wallets, and private or alternative lending models. Businesses face mounting compliance obligations, alongside increasing governance complexity under the Financial Accountability Regime (FAR).
Big-tech platform rules and cross-border AML/KYC requirements continue to reshape the operating environment, while funding markets remain cyclical and competitive. Private credit providers are playing an increasingly central role in asset and loan recovery programs, leading both origination and restructuring activity across the funding spectrum.
Superannuation Funds and Wealth ManagementWith Australia’s superannuation assets now exceeding $4.3 trillion, super funds face increasing pressure to scale governance, streamline products, and navigate APRA requirements alongside evolving climate disclosure obligations.
At the same time, DDO requirements, rising fee pressures, and uncertainty around advice reforms are reshaping business models. Fund insolvency and unregistered schemes remain underlying risks, while heightened ESG scrutiny demands credible responses to greenwashing and climate integrity concerns.
Superannuation assets reached $4.3 trillion on 30 June 2025, a 9.8% increase year-on-year, with APRA-regulated funds accounting for $3.04 trillion.
