FAQs
There are two ways you can make regular payments from your account.
- Direct Debit: A Direct Debit is set up using your BSB and Account number and is not linked to your bank card. This means the payments will continue, even if your card is locked or replaced. A direct debit from your account can also be stopped or cancelled at any time at your request. For more information on cancelling a direct debit please visit Cancelling a direct debit.
- Recurring Payment: A recurring payment is set up using your linked card number and is a contract between you and a merchant, where the merchant deducts funds on a recurring basis from your credit card or Visa Debit card (where you’ve quoted your card number). This means that payments will stop if your card is cancelled.
Unlike a direct debit, recurring payments cannot be stopped by the bank on your behalf, you'll need to contact the merchant directly to cancel the payments. If you are unable to contact the merchant or cancel the payment, you'll need to submit a card dispute. For more information on disputing a card transaction, please visit; Dispute a credit card transaction.
