What is PayID?

PayID is a simple service that makes paying money to any account fast, safe and easy without knowing or remembering any bank account details. Azupay automatically provides you with a unique PayID, only valid for your purchase at check-out (in the form of a QR code and email address). You can then use this PayID to transfer money from your online or mobile banking app. Azupay manages the funds settlements and check-out validation process with the merchant.

Is PayID Safe?

PayID is a secure method of payment that keeps you in control. You don’t need to provide any personal or financial information when you use a PayID.

How do I pay with PayID?

To pay using a PayID, simply copy the PayID generated when completing your payment, paste it into the recipient field of you online or mobile banking, and complete the payment for the required amount.

What Is The New Payments Platform?

The New Payments Platform is an Australian industry-wide payments platform for fast, flexible, data-rich payments.

What Is Azupay?

Azupay connects businesses to the New Payments Platform, allowing them to accept payments using PayID and PayTo. These are real-time account-to-account payment methods, allowing you to pay from your own bank account in real-time using your existing trusted banking app or online bank site.

How Does Azupay Work?

Azupay let’s you pay instantly from your bank account using your bank’s existing app. Azupay transfers your funds securely in real-time and does not require you to use a credit or debit card.

Is Azupay Secure?

Azupay uses your banking app’s security to initiate all payments. Through our partnership with Credit Union Services Corporation Australia Limited (Cuscal), Azupay is on the leading-edge of fraud monitoring capabilities and expertise. Cuscal’s fraud monitoring service Vigil is on guard 24/7, 365 days a year, so you can be sure that we are always on the lookout to protect you from fraud and digital criminal activities.

Why is Azupay Different?

Azupay is the closest thing to paying with real cash from your bank account. Other payment methods can take days to transfer your funds. If your bill is due tomorrow, pay with Azupay to avoid those pesky late fees!
