Frequently asked questions
A full suite of NPP services, including Osko, PayTo and PayID services are available to our institutional customers. You can receive fast Osko payments to your eligible accounts and make Osko payments to eligible BSB and account numbers and registered PayIDs, such as mobile numbers, ABNs (including ACNs, ARBNs & ARSNs), phone numbers, email addresses, and organisation IDs.
PaymentsPlus enables you to process single and bulk Osko payments to BSB and accounts or PayIDs.
Through QuickStream, you can pull payments from customers’ accounts using PayTo.
To make Osko payments, you can select the Osko option from the menu options in Corporate Online. Alternatively, you can submit single or bulk payments to your beneficiaries from Westpac’s PaymentsPlus payables platform.
You can find a list of NPP-reachable Westpac accounts here.
As NPP payments are new transaction types and can carry additional data, your bank account statements may look different for these transactions. You may wish to review your current reconciliation processes to determine any impacts from real-time transactions.

PayID Biller: Next big leap in the real-time revolution
The latest development in real-time payments with the launch of PayID® Biller is now bringing unique advantages to Westpac corporate and institutional customers. Here’s how.
Next generation defence: Safer solutions in real time
As money moves faster in the payments system, so do the security tools that keep customers’ funds safe. Peta O’Brien, Head of Client Engagement in Westpac’s Global Transaction Services, explains the bank’s pre-emptive approach to scam-busting and more.
Unlocking the real-time advantage: Why the shift from BECS to NPP is a strategic imperative
In the coming years, Australia will undergo the most significant change to the payments landscape in 30 years, with the transition from cheques and direct entry to digital real-time payments. The shift from legacy to the New Payments Platform (NPP) is not merely a technical upgrade – it represents a fundamental reimagining of how organisations create value.
