Bill payments.

By adding your business to the bill payment register, your customers can make a payment directly into your account by simply searching for the name of your company in their online banking. They don't need to know your account number, and you can specify the reference information you need to identify them.

Customers have to provide reference information, ensuring you can easily reconcile their payments. Reference format can be customised for your requirements
Payments are made simple for customers - no need to come to your business in person
It's free to set up your company on the bill payment register. The ongoing costs for your business will be determined by the fee option you've chosen for your Business Transact account.

To add your business to the bill payment register, download and complete the Bill Payee Registration form.
