Frequently asked questions

    1. Login to Internet Banking, at bankfirst.com.au

    2. Select ‘Manage PayID’ from the ‘Transfers’ menu.

    3. Follow the on-screen Create PayID instructions to register. You’ll be asked to select the mobile phone number and/or email address that you’d like linked to an account of your choice.

  • PayID doesn’t replace your BSB and account number completely as these details can be used for both standard transfers and Osko payments. PayID simply provides unprecedented ease, convenience and confidence. 

    If you’ve ever worried about sending money to the wrong account, PayID can help. Use a PayID with a service like Osko and the name of the person who owns that PayID is shown before you approve the payment. All you have to do is confirm it’s the right person.

  • Your PayID cannot be used to withdraw money from your account. It can only be used to receive payments.

  • When you give a person your PayID, they cannot use it to withdraw money from your account. When they use it in their own participating online or mobile banking to pay you, the only information they will see is your name. A PayID on its own cannot be used to create a false identity.

  • If your mobile number or email address have changed or you no longer have authority to use them, you are required to close the PayID.
