Lantern Pay | Specifically designed for Plan Managers to integrate their software into their payment sysmte. "Built, hosted and supported 24/7 by NDIS technology leader LanternPay, Plan Manager: Connect is a suite of Application Programming Interfaces (API’s) designed to streamline plan management businesses. Connect your software solution seamlessly to the NDIA to make, edit and retrieve Service Bookings, upload claims, download results and more." From <https://www.lanternpay.com/ndis-software > Parent company is InLoop who own other ordering solutions such as Flexischools. Bought by NAB. Seems as if it will be handed to the bank to operate. Could create a market for a new entrant. Westpac had, at one point, held a strategic stake in LanternPay. The recent deals could put ANZ and Westpac on the backfoot in terms of offering banking services to the healthcare sector, which is the fifth-largest contributor to Australia’s GDP. BIGGEST RISK: The National Disability Insurance Scheme is tendering for a “claims at point of support system to improve how participants make claims, and how providers get paid” https://www.ndis.gov.au/news/7129-making-ndis-payments-easier

I would think they are likely to win the NDIS payment tender if it goes ahead.
