Make fast payments
The New Payments Platform is a fast payments infrastructure designed to meet the needs of a 24/7 digital economy both now and in the future.
The delivery of near real-time payments via the platform is revolutionary. Businesses, governments and consumers are now making and receiving payments typically in less than a minute, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Fast, simple and smart payments
- NPP has given businesses, governments and consumers a platform to make fast, near real-time and data-rich payments – meeting the needs of the 24/7 digital economy.
- The unique layering of the NPP infrastructure (the separation of messaging, addressing and settlement system) is fostering the ongoing evolution and development of payment services.
- NPP has opened up opportunities for the creation of new overlay services to offer payment enrichment capability. This supports the development of value-add or ‘disruptive’ services, enabling you to redefine your customer experience.
- Changes to working capital – as a result of funds received near real-time (for AUD to AUD payments) – are also changing the way funds are managed and optimised, including outside traditional business hours.
What is PayID and Osko?
PayID is a new way to address payments on the NPP.
Its services include:
- Sending payments without the need to know a payee’s BSB and account number
- Linking recognisable identifiers such as mobile phone numbers, email addresses, ABN/ACNs or Organisation IDs to an eligible bank account to receive payments
- Helping to reduce erroneous payments by providing the payer with the ability to display and verify the payee’s name when making payments to a PayID
- The ability to temporarily lock a PayID to stop inbound payments without needing to close a bank account
- A function that allows customers to transfer a PayID between financial institutions with no impact on payers.
Osko by BPAY® is the first overlay service delivered via the NPP.
Osko payments:
- Allow consumers and businesses to send payments to and from eligible accounts at participating financial institutions. Available funds can be cleared in near real-time (typically in less than a minute)
- Allow for rich data and confidence in delivery, 24/7
- Can be made to BSB and account numbers or PayIDs
- Have prescribed service level agreements (SLAs) across all participating financial institutions to ensure a consistent customer experience
Business, government and consumer benefits
Inclusive and collaborative
- The NPP has been collaboratively developed, which means banks have access to the same nationwide payments platform – enabling businesses, governments and consumers to make simply addressed payments, with near real-time funds availability to the recipient, on a 24/7 basis.
Speed
- Make and receive near real-time payments. Fast clearance times with settlement credits appearing in accounts typically within approximately 60 seconds. The 60 seconds processing time is the 99% Osko SLA, which is available when the sending and receiving accounts are capable of processing faster payments.
Always on
- Make and receive payments 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
Data rich
- 280 characters of reference text for a better customer experience.
Cost effective
- Cost effective when compared to other payment channels such as Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) and cheques.
Reconciliations
- Enriched information providing more data for reconciliation and investigations
- More input fields providing for input of unique identifiers
Convenience with PayID
- Simple address service for customers using account PayIDs to make payments with an easy-to-remember identifier (mobile phone numbers, email addresses, ABN/ACNs and Organisation IDs)
Enhanced privacy/security
- PayIDs eliminate the requirement to provide BSB and account number details
Process efficiencies
- Mandated industry wide scheme SLAs mean payment responses are received within minutes.
Working capital benefits
- Access is available to businesses' Treasury departments to assist with efficient investment of deposits as payments are received in a near real-time environment – resulting in improved cash management.
