Same Day Cleared Payments (SCPs) allow you to make a same day domestic payment rather than overnight, as is the case with domestic payments. SCPs are funded from one NZ domiciled NZD account and the receiving account must be another NZ domiciled NZD account. These 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 of $99,999,999,999.99. Refer to cut-off times for payment processing and cut-off times.
