HowToPay.com Now Supports PayID and BPAY for Australian Payments

HowToPay.com now provides access to PayID and BPAY, Australia’s most trusted and widely used domestic payment methods for online and business transactions.

Unlike many other markets that rely heavily on credit cards, Australia has mature, bank-backed payment systems that consumers and businesses actively prefer. These local payment methods deliver lower fraud rates, fewer chargebacks, faster settlement, and higher customer trust compared to traditional card payments.

Why Australian Payments Are Different

Australia is unique in that domestic bank payments are the default choice for millions of customers:

• Credit cards are often avoided for everyday and business payments

• Bank-to-bank payments are trusted, regulated, and widely adopted

• Merchants benefit from reduced fraud exposure and lower processing costs

By offering access to these systems, HowToPay enables international businesses to accept Australian payments like a local, without the operational complexity normally required.

What Is PayID?

PayID is Australia’s real-time payment system designed for fast, low-value transactions.

• Near-instant settlement

• Typically used for payments up to AUD $1,000 per transaction

• Ideal for ecommerce, subscriptions, deposits, and everyday payments

• Strong customer familiarity and trust

PayID is commonly used instead of cards for online and peer-to-business payments due to its speed and simplicity.

What Is BPAY?

BPAY is Australia’s long-established bill payment network and is the preferred method for higher-value payments.

• Designed for invoices and large ticket transactions

• Supports payments up to AUD $50,000 per transaction

• Typically processed same day or overnight

• Extremely well known and trusted by Australian consumers and businesses

BPAY is widely regarded as the way Australians pay bills, invoices, and large obligations.
