PayID
You can now send and receive money in seconds with PayID smart addresses making paying and getting paid fast and simple.
Let’s face it, remembering your bank details is tough. With all the numbers in our lives, who can remember their BSB and account numbers? That’s where a PayID can help.
A PayID lets you swap your BSB and account numbers for something more memorable – like a mobile number, email address or ABN. You can register a PayID with Credit Union SA in Internet Banking or our Mobile Banking App and link it to an account of your choice. Then, when someone needs to pay you, just give them your PayID instead of your BSB and account number. Simple!
A PayID also gives you more confidence when sending money, because when you use a PayID to send money, you’ll automatically be shown the name of the person who owns that PayID before you approve the payment.
Faster and simpler
PayID is designed to work seamlessly with the new Osko by BPAY service, which we have integrated into our Internet Banking and Mobile Banking App. You can now make and receive payments 24/7 faster than ever before.
Pay the right person every time
When you use a PayID to transfer money, the system will automatically show you the name of the person the PayID is registered to before payment is made, so you can be confident your money is going to the right place.
BSB and account numbers still exist
PayID is an easier way to pay someone – it won’t be replacing regular transfers or BPAY. You can choose not to register a PayID and continue using BSB and account numbers to pay or get paid by others (a PayID is easier, though).

How to register multiple PayIDs

So if you’d like to enjoy the simplicity of using a PayID on two or more accounts, you’ll need to register a unique PayID to each account.
