Why can’t I edit a BSB and Account number?

You cannot edit a BSB and Account number if you have future or recurring payment/s scheduled to it.

For example, if you have recurring payments scheduled for a payee’s BSB and Account number, that BSB and Account number cannot be edited.

You must first cancel any scheduled payments to that BSB and Account number.

If you wish to edit a future dated or recurring payment, the request must be lodged with ANZ Internet Banking prior to 11.59pm Melbourne time on the day prior to the payment date.

Frequently asked questions

Use our frequently asked questions to find out more about editing the BSB and Account number of a Pay Anyone payee.

What is a payment type?

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

If an Administrator reorders accounts will the Operators see the changes?

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 IDs (Org IDs).

If you don’t delete or update a payment type that no longer reflects your payee’s details, any payments sent to this payment type could either;

Be unsuccessful as the payment type is invalid, or;
Be sent to an unintended recipient rather than your intended payee, as the payment type may have since been registered by another person.
