About this listen

The federal government is introducing regulations to combat unfair trading practices, particularly subscription traps that make it difficult for consumers to cancel recurring payments. While banks must cancel direct debits on request, the same rules don't apply to recurring card payments, forcing consumers through complex cancellation processes. New measures will target drip pricing, require easier cancellation methods across all platforms including gyms and streaming services, and give consumers greater control over their subscriptions.
