A PayID is a unique identifier of an account holder, such as a mobile phone number and email address or an ABN and ACN (for business accounts only), which can be linked to an account to receive payments made through the New Payments Platform (NPP) or Osko.

That means, if your account is Osko eligible and you need to pay someone who’s created a PayID, you don’t have to chase up their BSB and account number – they can simply provide you their PayID and you can pay them that way. A person can then make an Osko or NPP payment to your PayID instead of a BSB and account number, if they are permitted to do so by their financial institution.

Please refer to the Product Information Document  or Schedule of Fees and Charges applicable to your account to see if your account is Osko eligible or if you are able to link it to a PayID.
