Australian banks face challenges from new competitors and are investing in new technology to meet this challenge. There are 16 domestic banks in Australia, the biggest being the National Australia Bank (NAB). Australian banks face resistance when they close down branches, but they have lower productivity levels than US banks due to the high number of branches. The Australian government elected in Mar 1996 has set up a review of the country's financial system which will affect the future of Australian banks.
