BPAY payments

If you make a BPAY payment before the specified cut-off time on a business day, we’ll send the payment details to the biller’s bank on the same day. The biller is required (under BPAY rules) to treat your payment as being received that same day as well.

Payments made after the specified cut-off time will usually be treated as being received by the biller on the next business day. The time that it takes for the biller’s account to be credited will depend on the policy and systems of the biller’s bank.

BPAY payments created after the cut-off time will be processed on a later day. You will simply need to nominate a future business day for the payment to be processed (up to 90 days in advance).
