What is a PayID?
A PayID is a piece of information that is unique to you, such as a mobile number or ABN, that you can use to accept payments. Personal customer can register a mobile number as a PayID and if you’re a Sole Trader or the owner of a company, you can use your ABN as a PayID. You can give your PayID to payees, instead of using your BSB and account number, giving you an easier way to share your account details.
To create a PayID, you will need to be registered for
