It’s convenient – No wait or delays. Available 24/7, 365 days a year

How secure is the New Payments Platform?

Australian banks have some of the more sophisticated fraud detection methods and technology and fraud levels in Australia are very low.
What is Osko?
Osko by BPAY is a service built on the New Payments Platform. It will allow people to send and receive real-time payments to or from friends, businesses and the government using a BSB and account number or a PayID linked to their bank account.
What is a PayID?
It’s a smart address for payments, created by linking a bank account to a recognisable and memorable piece of information used in everyday life, such as an email address or phone number. While the PayID can only link to one bank account at a time, accounts can have more than one PayID. A PayID can be a phone number, email address, ABN number or ‘organisation ID’ such as a company name. A PayID provides greater convenience and peace of mind as a customer no longer has to disclose their BSB and account number to receive payments.
