Pay a Bill (AU)

Pay a Bill (BPAY®*) is a national Australian billing service that enables customers to make payments from their AU domestic accounts to registered billers within Australia. Your biller provides you with a Biller Code and Customer Reference Number to use in the payment. The funding account is always an ANZ AUD account domiciled in Australia. If you import a BPAY file, each payment instruction in the file is processed as a single batch. You can create a batch of BPAY payments using one of the other methods listed below. Refer to cut-off times for processing and cut-off times.
