To learn how to make a deposit or withdrawal, follow the guides linked below:

• How do I deposit AUD?
• How do I withdraw AUD?

Your deposit could be delayed for several reasons including (but not limited to):

• New payee hold: certain banks hold first-time payments to new payment addresses for up to 1-2 days as a security measure. Your bank may also hold the first larger deposit (e.g., they let through $500, but then hold $5,000) for a similar timeframe. After your first PayID deposit, future deposits are typically much faster, often taking only a few minutes.
• Fraud prevention: Your/our banks’ transaction monitoring systems may place a hold on your deposit if it appears to be fraudulent (only in rare instances)
• Multiple payments: Sending multiple PayID/OSKO payments of the same size and during the same day might cause delays as banks may hold the funds for a security check.
• Your bank may not support OSKO, so your deposit defaults to the standard EFT rails (1-2 days deposit time).

In most instances, delayed deposits will resolve and reflect in your account within 1-2 days. Please reach out to our 24/7 support team for a quick and efficient resolution on outstanding deposits.
