FAQs
PayTo (Payer) is a new, digital way for consumers to pre-authorise payments from their bank account.
It provides your customers with more visibility and control over payment agreements in one secure location through Online Banking and/or Mobile Banking.
With PayTo consumers can:
- View and manage the status of each payment agreement.
- See all upcoming and recurring payments in one secure place.
- Easily set up payment agreements using either PayID or BSB and account numbers.
Businesses and merchants can offer PayTo (Initiation) as an alternative payment method for a variety of products and services, such as subscriptions, online or in-app purchases with real time account validation and funds verifications.
Indue will connect your customers to the PayTo service, allowing them to view the terms of their payment agreements in their Digital Banking.
Once the agreement has been reviewed, your customers can choose to authorise or decline the request, knowing their bank account won’t be debited until the agreement is approved.
The PayTo service puts control back in your customers hands, allowing them to view, pause, resume, or cancel all their PayTo agreements in one secure location.
PayTo is an initiative of NPP Australia, the organisation that runs Australia’s real-time payments infrastructure. You can learn more by visiting their website.
PayTo is a new, digital alternative to the current direct debit system. It’s faster, more flexible and gives consumers greater visibility and control over authorised payments coming out of their bank account.
PayTo allows consumers to authorise direct debit payments from participating businesses, quickly and easily in online banking. Gym memberships, subscriptions, and energy bills can be viewed and managed in one secure location.
Not exactly. While PayTo is a modern alternative that streamlines the current direct debit system there is no requirement for businesses and merchants to move their direct debits over to PayTo.
All existing direct debit payments will remain in place unless the business or merchant decides to replace it with a PayTo agreement.
