Frequently asked questions
A PayID is a unique, easy-to-remember identifier that is linked to an eligible account. 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.
Payments to PayIDs are fast Osko® payments, which means they're received in near real-time, 24/7, even between customers of different banks1. Payments to PayIDs can also include a longer payment description2. It’s also safer paying to a PayID rather than a BSB and Account Number, as the registered PayID name will be displayed onscreen, allowing you to verify the payee is the intended recipient before sending your payment.
Things you should know
Read the Westpac Online Banking Terms and Conditions (PDF 417KB) at westpac.com.au before making a decision and consider whether the product is right for you.
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.
