The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) is set to introduce a three-tier classification system to reshape the banking landscape. 
This framework will categorise banks into large banks (the majors), medium banks (other banks designated as Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions or ADIs, specifically those classified as Significant Financial Institutions SFIs), and small banks (non-SFIs).
