The four-month-old deal struck between ANZ and Apple has been well-supported by the bank's customers. Running a back-of-an-envelope calculation, the AFR has estimated that around 250,000 of ANZ's Visa and American Express cardholders have loaded their respective credit cards onto the Apple Pay system, to take advantage of the NFC capability of later model iPhones. ANZ's 500,000 Mastercard credit card account holders will be able to access Android Pay from this week, the AFR added. Community Sector Banking said awarded grants worth A$200,000 to several organisations around Australia committed to reducing homelessness. CSB said its Social Investment Grants Program, in its third year, "has now contributed a total in $350,000 in grants to the not-for-profit sector." Credit reporting business Veda is one of the final bidders for the ASIC Registry, according to the AFR's Street Talk section. The government is seeking a new partner to run a big IT upgrade, and operate the business (which cover 31 separate registries and 10 million records) on a day-to-day basis, the AFR reports. Also, Minister for Finance Mathias Cormann said in April that the process had led to six indicative bids from a "broad range of private sector bidders". He said the government would retain ownership of ASIC Registry's data. See also the comment piece in today's edition for analysis of the proposed sale and opposition to it. Households with jobless heads are more common in Australia than they once were. There are 90,400 households with a "Family head unemployed or not in the labour force", the ABS said yesterday.
