Hi Robbie, I'm coming into the conversation a little bit late, but I may be able to help out. There are a few Australian payment gateways which support either Recurring/Subscription billing or tokenizations where your own system can initiate the charges when necessary, but don't require you to store the card data.
Quick disclaimer, I am the co-founder of Fat Zebra, so my comments are likely to hold some bias. Generally when it comes to an Internet Merchant Facility you can make the banks work (somewhat) in your favor if you approach them with the right information. A lot of people see the upfront cost etc as a roadblock but the fees you end up paying help cover yourself through the schemes, banks etc. >From our point of view we have recently had our updates to ActiveMerchant merged into master which includes the tokenization of card numbers, and updating our non-AM library to support our recurring payment system is in my calendar for this week. The other options you can look at is using eWAY's ReBill system or SecurePay's Scheduled Payments - however I don't believe they have gems to handle this. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions. Matthew (PS, and I realize this was said tongue-in-cheek, but using another merchants Merchant ID/Internet Merchant Facility is considered fraud by the banks and both parties involved are penalized if found out..)
