Frequently asked questions

What is a payment type?

A payment type is the identifier that you address your payment to.

A payment type can be a BSB and Account number, phone number, email address, ABN/ACN or Organisation ID (Org ID) that is linked to a bank account.

What is a payID?

A PayID is a simplified payment address that’s linked to a bank account and capable of receiving payments.

ANZ allows you to link a mobile number, email address or ABN/ACN with an eligible ANZ bank account to create a PayID.

ANZ allows payments to PayID mobile numbers, email addresses, ABN/ACNs and Organisation ID (Org ID)

I added the wrong payment type to a payee, can I change it?

Yes. If you’ve selected the correct payment type but entered the wrong details you can fix this by editing the payment type.

If you’ve selected the wrong payment type you’ll need to remove the payment type and add the correct one, by adding a new payment type to the payee.

Please note that if you remove the only saved payment type for a payee it will delete the payee. To prevent this you’ll need to add the correct payment type before deleting the incorrect one.

If you make a Pay Anyone payment to a different payment type under the same payee, that will become the default payment for that payee if your payment is successful.
