PayTo: Account-to-Account Transfers

Created by Andy McCutcheon, Modified on Thu, 26 Mar at 10:22 AM by Andy McCutcheon

PayTo allows NPP-enabled account holders to digitally pre-authorise one-off or recurring real-time payments from their bank account.

This authorisation is captured as a digital payment, referred to as a PayTo Agreement. It offers a better alternative to direct debit payment rails, because:

  • Funds will be debited, settled and cleared immediately, no more waiting 1-3 business days.
  • Customers are provided with more visibility and control through an enhanced, digital experience via their bank.
  • Real-time direct debits provide an alternative to cards, removing expensive merchant fees and delays in funds settlement.

PayTo benefits

Businesses:

  • Real-time account validation
  • Real-time funds verification
  • Real-time notification of payment
  • API support
  • Easy reconciliation

Consumers:

  • Fast, secure payment options
  • Greater visibility and control over payments from bank accounts
  • Manage PayTo agreements through internet or mobile banking
  • Choice of either PayID or a BSB and account number for maximum flexibility
