The government's competition watchdog is keeping a close eye on the cost of domestic air travel, but the chair of the Commerce Commission's all but ruled out a market study suggesting it would do nothing to improve prices. John Small said the Commission has been investigating whether to do a competition study into the domestic aviation market, similar to recent studies into building supplies, the grocery and fuel markets. Small spoke to Lisa Owen.

The Commerce Commission has confirmed it will not be formally putting the cost of flying under the microscope. Rangitata MP James Meager has suggested the Government could help keep fares competitive by supporting regional airlines. It's been revealed some flights to Pacific Island nations are cheaper than certain trips within New Zealand. Commission Chair Dr John Small says flying short routes with low demand is very expensive. "There's no law against charging high prices - that's the reality of things in New Zealand. If it's a monopoly - on a monopoly route - it's potentially able to be regulated."

The last standing grave in St Peters is for John Small and his family. He is remembered at the Petersfield Museum and Art Gallery and Lords. John was one of the greatest cricketers of the eighteenth century and, according to The Times, of all time and deserves, says local historian Bill Gosney, to be counted amongst Petersfield’s first sons and remembered as a superstar. Bill, who is providing a series for Shine Radio about surprising aspects of Petersfield's history, spoke to Mike Waddington.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Commerce Commission says it wants to slash credit card surcharges it says are excessive. The commission's chair John Small joins Kathryn.

The Commerce Commission has issued a draft decision to reduce fees for businesses accepting card payments. It's proposing an estimated reduction of around $260 million a year where costs are handed down from banks to process payments. The commission revealed in July that businesses incur $1 billion in fees to provide card payments. Chair Dr John Small told Heather du Plessis-Allan a few will be annoyed by it, but it's important they strike a balance. He says they've consulted widely on it and believe they're at a point where they can simplify these rates and bring them down. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The process of growth will be the main benefit from a scaled up Kiwibank, while public acclaim will be a key measure of open banking's success, Commerce Commission Chairman John Small says.Small spoke to interest.co.nz for the latest episode of the Of Interest podcast, which will be published later on Wednesday. The interview came after the Commission released the final report from its market study into personal banking services. The Government says it'll act on all 14 recommendations from the report.Speaking in a previous Of Interest podcast episode, after the Commission's interim report was issued in March, Small said the most important of that report's 16 recommendations was; "The Reserve Bank should review its prudential capital settings to ensure they are competitively neutral and smaller players are better able to compete."So why is that recommendation gone from the final report?"We still feel that there's aspects of the regulatory regime that could be improved to promote competition. We've just, I suppose, got a bit more refined about how we're suggesting that that happens. And we've keyed in, particularly to a number of programmes of work that the Reserve Bank already has underway. So we've made a fairly broad overall suggestion about how the bank thinks about competition, which is essentially that we would like them to put a bit more focus on barriers to entry and expansion, so that it's more easily able for small players to get into the market, particularly the kind of players that we expect to be able to disrupt this industry who don't look like the traditional banks," Small says."Another one that applies more to the traditional banks is to think about the way that risk weights are calculated for reasonably standardised loans and make that more granular...so there's less averaging involved. It's a better, it's a more accurate, representation of risk and it gives them the ability to price loans differently depending on just how risky they are."A helping hand for community housingThe Commission's also calling for the Reserve Bank to reduce the risk rating of lending to housing co-operatives and community housing providers to lower, and more accurate, levels. This is currently treated as commercial lending rather than housing lending.Risk weightings are used to link the minimum amount of capital banks must hold, with the risk profile of the bank's lending activities."The work around mortgage advisors is also more nuanced, I should say, [is] probably the way to put it. We found out quite a bit about the mortgage advisor sector after the draft report and we had some of them around at our consultation conference... We [also] took some soundings in Australia about how their mortgage advisor sector works," Small says.'The process of growth'On the recommendation to scale up Kiwibank by getting it access to more capital, Small says the main competitive benefit "is about the process of growth rather than what happens once they're big.""So we want them to be taking chunks of market share out of the big four on their way up, and for that to provoke a competitive reaction from the larger banks.""What will really matter will be them [ANZ, ASB, BNZ and Westpac] perceiving a real threat of losing share, because that is what will stimulate them to fight back," Small says.'Interesting stuff' from Westpac NZ's CEOThe Commission also calls for the acceleration and co-ordination of progress on open banking. In the podcast Small talks about lessons from the United Kingdom and hearing "some real interesting stuff" from Westpac NZ CEO Catherine McGrath. Prior to taking the Westpac job McGrath worked for Barclays and was involved in a Competition and Markets Authority open banking committee in the UK."We're just copying what we can, ruthlessly copying what we can," Small says. "So, you know, I absolutely grant you that in terms of overall open banking as distinct from payments, it hasn't been a roaring success in either of those places [Australia or the UK]. I think we can learn from both of them and do it a lot better."Better bank switching desiredThe Commission also says the bank switching service, operated through the bank-owned Payments NZ, needs investment and improvement."We were a bit surprised, to be honest, when we visited the headquarters of the big banks and asked them about this service and asked them in particular, 'if I was to come in off the street as a customer of someone else's bank and was interested in converting to you, would you recommend that I use this service?' And generally speaking no, they wouldn't.""And they don't ask their staff to recommend that. So that tells me that it's obviously not being promoted. I think it could be improved, the actual functionality could be improved, it needs to be more visible and known and also they need to report on its usage, its success rates, what people think about it, and just that sort of basic transparency hygiene system would be very helpful indeed," says Small.In terms of how open banking's success could be measured, Small suggests public acclaim is one way."I think if ordinary people on the street see it as being useful and working for them, then that's a great indicator...I would like to see it taking market share off the banks. Definitely. I'd like to see more variety of services out there and definitely like to see government agencies using it, because I think that's an important driver of success."A message for consumersAnd what's Small's message for bank customers?"My message is you really should shop around. I don't like to just put everything back onto the consumers, but consumers can get better deals than I was aware of before I started this market study. For example, mortgages. You can usually drive a better bargain than you see on the headline [interest rate]. So shop around and be a savvy consumer.""Also stand by and keep your eyes open for the innovation that we think is going to come. Some of this, by the way, is going to require change by consumers. There are a bunch of people out there, quite a large number of people in New Zealand, that are using somewhat dangerous banking technology that involves handing over their login details to a third party provider. We think that's something that has to be phased out. It's just dangerous. It's putting people at risk. So we think that what's coming up is going to be faster, safer, cheaper. Yeah. It won't happen tomorrow, but it will be here within 18 months or two years, I think."What about splitting up the big banks?Speaking earlier Wednesday Small said the Commission had considered recommending splitting big banks up."We did think about that, but we came to the view that the structure can be changed, the market structure can be changed through the two main levers that we're suggesting. One is a growing Kiwibank, and the main point about growing Kiwibank is that it will destabilise the big four as it grows. And then secondly, with open banking coming in, behind these are new business models that are not the same as the existing [ones]. And I think our view is that that's more disruptive and more enduring disruption, and more competitive innovation."The Commission's final report is here.*You can find all episodes of the Of Interest podcast here.

The Commerce Commission is looking into regulating fees for PayWave and online card payments. The market watchdog says adding regulation could save Kiwis $250 million dollars, from the $1 billion a year they spend on fees in-store and online. Chair John Small says they're exploring changes that could reduce surcharges to 0.7 percent. "Part of what we're doing here is trying to simplify these rates so that the merchants know much more clearly what's costing them - and then that allows buyers to know that."

In five years' time we would see things we can't imagine today if the Government adopts the Commerce Commission's recommendations to boost competition for personal banking services, Commission Chairman John Small says.Speaking about the Commission's draft report from its banking market study in the latest episode of interest.co.nz's Of Interest podcast, Small says he'll be interested to see what sort of response the Commission gets from the big four banks, ANZ, ASB, BNZ and Westpac, who it says are an oligopoly who don't face strong competition."We haven't accused them of doing anything nefarious. They're responding to the incentives that are in front of them. And we think that they've settled into a particular pattern of conduct that we think should be disrupted. But we don't blame them for that," Small says."I'll be really interested to see what they do have to say about it."The Commission makes 16 recommendations in its draft report, and says they should be considered as a whole. He's optimistic about what the market for personal banking services could look like five years from now if the Government was to adopt them all. "We would see things that we just can't imagine today. So if open banking is operational within a couple of years, if Kiwibank has already been disruptive, then I think we've set the industry up for a really healthy, competitive future that will be greatly beneficial to New Zealanders throughout their economy. And that [interest] rates will be sharper, and the range of services will be much wider and the choice between providers, trusted providers, will be much wider as well. So I would see it as being really positive five years from now," says Small.In the podcast Small also discloses which three of the Commission's 16 recommendations he believes are most important. With the Commission recommending the Reserve Bank review its bank regulatory capital settings, he also discusses dialogue with the Reserve Bank about this, and wanting them to "think really carefully about the competitive aspects of their decisions."He also talks about why the big four banks don't face strong competition, what could be done to make Kiwibank a disruptive competitor, how the banking industry hasn't disrupted itself via open banking, customers moving between banks, the competitive landscape for home loans versus deposits, his take on the idea of a windfall profits tax on banks, and what a parliamentary select committee bank inquiry could probe. *You can find all episodes of the Of Interest podcast here.

Banking customers are losing out, according to a draft report that finds a lack of competition. The Commerce Commission's found ANZ, ASB, BNZ and Westpac also have sustained high profits compared with global peers. The report says Kiwibank also lacks the capital to disrupt the big four in a meaningful way. Commerce Commission chair John Small says these banks aren't interested in competing with each other. "They're not really going after each other, they're matching each other's prices, they've got really high visibility into what each other's doing- they're typically aiming to maintain market share, rather than take market share off each other."

Petrol companies are being asked to explain anomalies in the price of fuel. The Commerce Commission has sent letters to several petrol companies, after prices were monitored in the first year of a new regulatory regime. Commission chair John Small says he's at a loss to explain the variance in pricing. The Waitomo Group runs more than 75 petrol stations, between Paihia and Dunedin, but it hasn't been questioned by the Commerce Commission over its pricing. Waitomo managing director Jimmy Ormsby spoke to Corin Dann.

The Commerce Commission has issued a please explain to petrol companies over their fuel pricing fluctuations across various locations. Commission chair, John Small, says motorists in Whangārei are paying more than other cities studied despite being the closest city to Marsden Point, which in turn is the closest port to major fuel sources like Singapore and South Korea. So why is fuel so expensive just up the road? Whangārei mayor Vince Cocurullo spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The Commerce Commission is keeping a close eye on petrol prices. It's asked fuel companies to 'please explain' the differences in prices between and within various cities. Ruapehu Mayor Weston Kirton called for an inquiry into petrol price inequity three months ago. Commission chair John Small says this is likely to come down to competition. "What we need to do is find ways to promote local competition. It could be something inventive, like local buying groups, it could be talking to councils about freeing up land."

Today on the show, Strategy + Action = How to Build a Sales Process without Losing Your Humanity John "Small Mountain" Hill is back for a second appearance on the show. He's written a fantastic book called, Selling From Scratch. John is an amazing guy and phenomenal at training sales teams. So much of both his expertise and his love of building relationships comes through in his book. There was so much I wanted to dive into after reading it, but the number one thing was this idea of building out the necessary systems and processes for selling, while still maintaining the humanness of selling and interacting with another person throughout it. And what I love about this interview, too, is that you'll notice a transition to another day where we redid a huge portion of the talk. Why? Because one thing that I just love about John is that he really wants to give as much value as possible. It's how he runs his group, his training, his consulting - everything. When we did round one of the interviews, we just didn't quite nail it in terms of that complete answer. So we jumped in for the second part, and I'm so glad we did. We ended up just having a fantastic in-depth conversation around this whole idea, and I know you're gonna love it. Let's jump in!
