Osko payments are made from one Australia domiciled AUD account to another Australia domiciled AUD account and are processed in near real time for eligible accounts. Osko payments are submitted in batches but are processed using individual debits which results in a separate debit on your account for each payment instruction. A batch can contain one to 5,000 payment instructions to a maximum value set by your Daily Osko Limit. Refer to cut-off times for payment processing and cut-off times.
