PayID
What is Osko®?
Osko is a payment service available on the New Payments Platform (NPP) and it is backed by BPAY®. It enables near real-time payments between eligible bank accounts at participating financial institutions, 24/7 – even on weekends and public holidays. Unity Bank automatically accepts all Osko payments from participating financial institutions.
You will see the transaction appear as Osko or the Osko logo (shown below) when you receive or make an Osko payment. The option to pay via Osko is available on our Internet Banking and Banking App.
Osko payments to another financial institutions bank account will automatically be processed if:
- The amount is up to $1,000 per account per day. This limit is set to protect our Members money from fraud.
- Your payee’s bank account accepts Osko payments. (Some financial institutions may still not accept Osko payments).
You can still make payments above $1,000 but it will be processed through the standard payment process using the BSB and Account Number which can take between 1 –2 business days to process before it is appears in the recipient’s bank account.
