How it works
PayTo can be used for a one-off or recurring payments on bills, subscriptions and online purchases. Here's how to get started:
Step 1
You provide a business or merchant with your Pay ID or BSB and 9-digit account reference number.
Step 2
The business or merchant will send you a PayTo Agreement which will appear in Internet Banking. We will send you an SMS and email to notify you.
Step 3
You login to Internet Banking to authorise or decline the PayTo Agreement.
Step 4
After you authorise a PayTo Agreement, you can easily pause, resume or cancel your payment at any time. All you have to do is login to Internet Banking.
The PayTo Agreement is the Payment Agreement, you as payer, establish with the business or merchant initiator, authorising Bank First to make payments.
A Business is an approved payment service provider who, whether acting on your behalf or a Merchant, is authorised by you to initiate payments from your account. A Merchant is a merchant with which you have established, or would like to establish, a PayTo Agreement.
It is important to read a PayTo Agreement carefully as this contains the terms and conditions of the payment.
Before you authorise a PayTo Agreement, you should check the amount specified in the Agreement and how often the amount will be taken from your account, for example once off or on a recurring basis.
