ANNA Money strengthens its regulated platform for small businesses with AFSL and digital government connectivity
New payment rails, a Mastercard-powered digital checkout, and ASIC / ATO Digital Service Provider accreditations support ANNA’s push to become the go-to operating platform for Australian small businesses
Sydney, 30th of June, 2026 — ANNA Money Australia, the AI-powered business account that does taxes automatically for SMEs, has announced a major expansion of its Australian platform as it continues building a simpler, more connected operating system for small businesses.
The award-winning company has secured its Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL), launched Apple Pay and Google Pay, expanded Mastercard-powered digital payment capabilities with Click to Pay and Mastercard Digital Enablement Service for Merchants, and secured Digital Service Provider accreditation with both the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
Together, the milestones mark a significant step forward in ANNA’s ambition to become a trusted operating platform for Australian SMEs, combining payments, cards, business admin, company setup, automated tax workflows and connected government services in one place.
Australian small businesses are often forced to manage a patchwork of business accounts, payment providers, card platforms, accountants, government portals, spreadsheets and manual admin processes. ANNA is aiming to reduce that friction by giving business owners one place to manage the operational side of running a company, with smart AI doing much of the heavy lifting automatically.
“Small businesses don’t need more disconnected tools. They need systems that actually work together,” said Ryan Edwards-Pritchard, CEO of ANNA Money Australia (pictured above). “We’re focused on the real operating moments business owners deal with every day: starting up, incorporating a company, opening an account, getting paid, paying suppliers, managing cards, paying bills, calculating GST, preparing BAS and keeping company records in order, with less admin, not more.
“These launches aren’t isolated features. Together, they are the building blocks of a more complete platform for Australian small businesses: regulated financial capability, everyday payment utility, secure digital payment infrastructure and accredited digital connectivity into the government systems businesses already deal with.”
The expanded platform now gives eligible customers access to:
Apple Pay and Google Pay for mobile and wallet-based payments
Mastercard-powered digital checkout through Click to Pay and secure online payment functionality
ASIC Digital Service Provider accreditation supporting online company registration and company administration workflows
ATO Digital Service Provider accreditation supporting GST calculation, BAS preparation support and assisted lodgement
Company secretary services to help manage company records, filing needs and ongoing administration
Sole trader setup support including ABN, GST and PAYG registration workflows
Regulated financial services capability through ANNA’s AFSL
ANNA Money Australia said it will continue expanding its Australian platform across payments, tax admin, financial workflows, connected business services and working-capital support for eligible businesses as it builds toward a more seamless operating experience for SMEs.
