What is PayID?
When it comes to remembering banking details, like BSB and account numbers, most people simply can’t. But a PayID makes payments super simple.
A PayID is something easy to remember-such as your mobile phone number or email address-that you create with us to be linked to your chosen account. Then, when someone needs to pay you, you simply give them your PayID instead of your BSB and account number.

Osko® by BPAY is a service built on the New Payments Platform. It will allow people to send and receive real-time payments to or from friends, businesses and the government using a BSB and account number or a PayID linked to their bank account.
It’s a smart address for payments, created by linking a bank account to a recognisable and memorable piece of information used in everyday life, such as an email address or phone number. While the PayID can only link to one bank account at a time, accounts can have more than one PayID. A PayID can be a phone number, email address, ABN number or ‘organisation ID’ such as a company name. A PayID provides greater convenience and peace of mind as a customer no longer has to disclose their BSB and account number to receive payments.
