We need alternatives, in Australia we do have eftos for local card transactions and instant payments by osko/Payid.

Asia has it better with more payment networks, union pay and QR code based networks.

The only thing the Australian system is missing is a standardised QR code that the bank apps accept. Currently you have to manually type the receiver id and payment amount.
