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