What is a PayID and why should I use one?
A PayID is a smart address for payments which is securely linked to a bank account. Your PayID can be an email address, Australian registered mobile number or ABN.
Your PayID will make life much easier as you won’t need to remember your BSB and account number anymore.
Once your PayID is set up, when you want somebody to transfer funds into your account you can simply give them your PayID instead of your BSB and account number.
What’s more is your PayID will work seamlessly with Osko meaning you’ll be able to receive payments in minutes rather than days!
It’s also easier to get it right when making the payment. So there’s less chance of accidentally sending money to the wrong account with PayID.
You can create, update, transfer and close your PayID through internet banking, mobile banking and the mobile app.
Who can I make PayID payments to?
You will be able to make payments to businesses for products and services, to friends and family, basically anyone who has a PayID.
For instance, if you go out with your work friends for lunch, someone can pay the bill and everyone can pay that person their amount right away using their PayID – through their participating bank.
Is PayID secure?
Yes, because a PayID is unique to each person. Your PayID is linked to your bank account through your bank.
When making a payment to a PayID through Osko in your Internet Banking or Mobile App, the name of the person who owns the PayID is shown before you approve the payment. You just need to confirm it’s the right person.
Can I have multiple PayIDs connected to the one account?
Yes, a single bank account can have multiple PayIDs linked to it. An example of this is a couple who has a joint account and links both their PayIDs to the same account.
However, you can only link an individual PayID to one bank account Australia wide.
Are all banks participating?
Over 60 financial institutions are now using Osko.
