2. Making and receiving NPP Payments using PayID

2.1. The PayID Service enables you to make NPP Payments from, and receive NPP Payments into, your P&N Bank accounts by using a PayID in place of BSB and account number information. The PayID Service may be used to make payments, including Osko Payments

2.2. In order to receive an NPP Payment into your Account, you must provide the payer with a PayID that is linked to that Account in the same way that you would provide your BSB and Account number for standard payments into your Account.

2.3. You can only create a PayID in respect of an Eligible Account.

2.4. Before you can create your PayID and use it to receive NPP Payments into your Account, you must satisfy us that you own, or are authorised to use, your chosen PayID. We may ask you to provide evidence to establish this to our satisfaction.

2.5. Creation of a PayID is optional. Whether or not you choose to create a PayID for your Account, you and each Authorised User may use a payee’s PayID to make an NPP Payment to the payee from your Account provided that:

(a) the Account allows you to make NPP Payments;

(b) both we and the payee’s financial institution support the PayID Service;

(c) the payee’s account is able to receive the particular NPP Payment; and

(d) the PayID is not Locked. 

2.6. If you make an NPP Payment to a payee from your Account using the payee’s PayID, you must ensure that you input the payee’s PayID correctly and check the payee’s PayID Name before sending the NPP Payment.

2.7. You have rights in relation to the investigation and recovery of Mistaken Payments, Misdirected Payments and unauthorised (including fraudulent) NPP Payments made from your Account. Please refer to clause 40.1 (Mistaken and Misdirected Payments) of the Savings Accounts & Account Access Channels Terms and Conditions for more details of your rights in relation to Mistaken Payments and Misdirected Payments, and clause 41.9 (Your Liability for Unauthorised Electronic Transactions and BPAY Payments) for more details of your rights in relation to unauthorised NPP Payments.

3. Choosing a PayID and PayID Name

3.1. Your PayID must be a supported PayID Type. We may update the PayID Types that we support from time to time. You can review the most up to date list of PayID Types we support at Faster Payments.

3.2. Some PayID Types, for example Organisation IDs, are restricted to business customers and organisations. Only eligible customers will be able to register a PayID that is a restricted PayID Type.

3.3. Your PayID Name may be displayed to payers who send NPP Payments to you.

3.4. At the time that you create your PayID, we will enable you to either:

(a) confirm your selection of a PayID Name for display to payers; or

(b) select an alternative PayID Name for display.

3.5. Any PayID Name you select must reasonably and accurately represent you. We will not permit selection of a PayID Name that is likely to mislead or deceive a payer into sending you NPP Payments intended for another payee, or which for any reason is offensive or inappropriate. P&N Bank reserves the right to lock or otherwise disable a PayID Name in the event that it determines that the PayID Name is potentially misleading, offensive or inappropriate.

4. Creating your PayID 

4.1. You can create a PayID through our Online Banking Services or our Mobile Application. We will not create a PayID for you without your prior consent.

4.4. If you have Authorised Users on your Account, each Authorised User may create a unique PayID for the Account.

4.5. Once a PayID is created and linked to your Account, it may not be used in relation to any other account with us or with any other financial institution unless it is transferred to another account in accordance with clause 5. 

4.6. You may not create a PayID that already exists within the PayID Service, whether or not that PayID is attributable to you. If you try to create a PayID for your Account which is identical to another PayID in the PayID Service, we will notify you that that PayID already exists and cannot be used. If you receive such a notification, you can contact us by calling 13 25 77. We cannot disclose personal information in connection with duplicate PayIDs.

5. Transferring your PayID to another account

5.1. You can transfer your PayID to another account you hold with us, or to an account you hold with another financial institution, by submitting a request to us through Online Banking Services or our Mobile Application. We are obliged to give effect to such a request within 24 hours.

5.2. A transfer of your PayID to another account you hold with P&N will generally be effective immediately, unless we notify you otherwise.

5.3. A transfer of your PayID to another financial institution is a two-step process initiated by you and completed by that financial institution. First, ask us to put your PayID into a transfer state and then complete the transfer via your new financial institution. Until the transfer is completed, NPP Payments made using your PayID will be directed to your P&N Account. If the other financial institution does not complete the transfer within 14 days, the transfer is deemed ineffective and your PayID will remain with your P&N Account until such time as an effective transfer is carried out. You can request transfer of your PayID at any time.

5.4. You cannot transfer your PayID if it is Locked. See clause 8.

6. Transferring your PayID from another financial institution to your P&N Account
