PAYID

Make quick and easy near real-time payments to a PayID. Payments are made in
less than a minute, 24/7.
Sign in Refresh Sign in Refresh Register Refresh Register Refresh


WHAT IS PAYID?

 * A PayID is a unique, easy to remember identifier, such as a mobile number,
   that is linked to an eligible account.
 * Payments to PayIDs are fast Osko payments, which means they are received in
   near real-time, 24/7 even between customers of different banks1. Payments to
   PayIDs can also include a longer payment description2.

RECEIVE PAYMENTS TO YOUR PAYID

You can register your mobile number as a PayID, then share it with people who
need to pay you instead of needing to remember your BSB and account number.

SEND PAYMENTS TO PAYIDS

Payments can be made to the following PayID types: mobile number, email address,
ABN (which includes ACN, ARBN and ARSN), phone number and Organisation ID.


PAYID - THE SAFER PAYMENT OPTION

HOW IS PAYID SAFER THAN A BSB AND ACCOUNT NUMBER?

When paying to a PayID, the registered PayID name will be displayed onscreen,
allowing you to verify the payee is the intended recipient before sending your
payment.

HOW DOES THIS HELP YOU?

 * PayID offers an extra layer of protection – it allows you to check that the
   account you are making a payment to is, in fact, held by the person or
   business you intend to pay, much like a BPAY Biller Code. 

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

 * Register for a PayID and request this is how you are paid.
   This means anyone making a payment to you can verify the registered name
   associated to the PayID, before they transfer their money.
 * Request anyone asking you for payment to provide a PayID.
   This allows you to verify the registered payee name, helping to protect you
   from scams where payments may be redirected to fraudulent accounts.
 * Scam Prevention Tip!
   If the registered payee name displayed is not your intended recipient
   something is possibly suspect. Always call the payee on a trusted number to
   verify the payment details before proceeding with the payment.


Osko payments and payments to PayIDs are made through Westpac Online Banking and
are subject to Westpac’s own real-time, fraud screening and detection and are
covered by the Online Banking Security Guarantee.


HOW TO CREATE A PAYID

A PayID links your mobile number to an eligible account. You can create a PayID
in Online Banking or the Westpac App.

How to set up PayID video transcript

As a business you need to constantly be on the lookout for scams. 

Business Email Compromise scam is one of the most common types.

It’s when criminals impersonate you or someone from your business or one of your
suppliers using similar names, domains, or fake invoices. 

The scammer might: 

Pretend  to  be  you,  invoice  a  customer  or  a  supplier, and  have  a 
payment  made  to  their  account details, rather than yours or, 

Pretend to be a CEO or employee from another company to get a payment from you
or, 

Pretend to be an employee and have a salary payment redirected. 

There’s  a quick and easy way to make payments safer: Register for a PayID using
your ABN. So, if a  customer  or  supplier uses  your  PayID  they’ll  be  able 
to  verify  it’s  your  business.  PayID  doesn’t replace your BSB and account
number, it’s just a safer way to pay because your customers will be sure they
are paying you and only you. 

To set up PayID head to the Westpac app  

Search for PayID 

More information about how to create a PayID will appear on screen. Make sure
you’re registered for Westpac Protect™ SMS Code or SecureID token and have an
eligible account.  

Your ABN and name will appear based on what we have on record.  

You can select your ABN as your PayID type. This will mean that your PayID
display name (or what will be returned to the customer) will be the legal name
of your business, rather than its trading name. 

Select the account you wish to add PayID to. As a sole trader you can register
up to two different PayIDs if you two different business accounts and want one
for each.  

Then check the details and confirm you want to create a PayID.  

PayID is now set up for your business! 

Ask your existing customers or suppliers to use your PayID wherever possible.  

And when paying someone new, protect yourself by asking them for their PayID (or
BPay billing code).  

For other ways to stay smart, safe, and secure from scammers visit the Westpac
Security Hub.

Personal customers

ONE PAYID LINKED TO ONE ELIGIBLE ACCOUNT AT ONE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION


A unique PayID can only be linked to one eligible account at a time, so when you
register, you should make sure you select the account that best suits your
needs. If you’ve registered your mobile number as a PayID at another bank and
wish to link it to a Westpac account, you’ll need to contact the other bank to
initiate a PayID transfer.

PAYID DOESN’T REPLACE YOUR BSB AND ACCOUNT NUMBER


You can continue receiving payments to your BSB and account number in Online
Banking even when you have a PayID. When family and friends pay your PayID, your
name will be displayed giving more certainty of who is being paid. Furthermore,
you can change the account linked to your PayID without having to provide
updated payment details.

For more information about the New Payments Platform, PayID and Osko®, please
see the Frequently Asked Questions.

Business customers

ABN PAYID REGISTRATION 

You can register an ABN as your PayID. So when customers need to pay you, they
can use your ABN instead of your BSB and account number. Your PayID doesn’t
replace your BSB and account number, it’s just an easier way to pay. 

PAYING TO PAYIDS 

You can also pay other businesses and organisations through Online Banking,
using their PayID. A PayID could be a mobile number, email address, Organisation
ID or ABN (which includes ACN, ARBN and ARSN). 

HOW WILL PAYID AND FAST PAYMENTS HELP MY BUSINESS? 

 * Manage your cash flow better 
   * Get access to money fast through the receipt of cleared funds in near
     real-time. 
   * Hold onto your money longer by paying in real-time on the due date. 
 * Reduce payment errors 

PayID payments will automatically display the recipient name before you
authorise the payment. This may reduce the potential for misdirected payments. 

 * Improved reconciliations 

Payers will have more room to provide information to help you easily identify
specific transactions. This may save time on reconciliations and allow you more
time to focus on your business. 

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO? 

 * Sign in to Online Banking to create your ABN PayID 
 * Learn more about the New Payments Platform (NPP), PayID and Osko for Business
   customers

   accounts at participating financial institutions, 24/7 – even on weekends and
   public holidays.

   * you have an eligible Osko account
   * your payee has an eligible Osko account and the payment is dated today (not
     a future dated or recurring payment)
 * You will see the transaction appear with a payment method of Osko or the Osko
   logo when you make or receive an Osko payment.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

1. Fast or real-time payments are sent and received using Osko by BPAY® and can
be addressed to either a PayID or a BSB and account number. Real-time payments
require both the payer and payee to have Osko enabled accounts. Payments may
take longer in some instances, such as where there is a technical interruption
to the service, there is a payment to a first time payee or when the payment is
caught for additional security screening.

Personal customers can send and receive fast Osko payments to and from
participating financial institutions with an eligible account (i.e. a personal
transaction account).


The PayID types available to you may vary depending on your customer profile. If
you register your mobile as a PayID, it needs to be the same as your SMS Protect
CodeTM.


When your PayID is registered, your details (including your name) will be
available to people who use the service and enter your mobile phone PayID.


Westpac Mobile Banking applications are only available for use by Westpac
Australia customers. Internet connection is needed to access Westpac Online
Banking and the Westpac App. Normal mobile data charges apply. 

2. Up to 280 characters. Please note emojis and Chinese characters will result
in an error message.
