Decide whether you are depositing via PayID, Bank Transfer/Osko or BSB/Account number. Currently not all Australian banks offer PayID.
Note: Deposits for the same amount within a 72 hour period may be put on hold. To avoid this simply add an extra few cents to a deposit. If you have a deposit on hold you can submit a support ticket here.

Review the About Deposits section. Various banks have different requirements, so please contact your bank directly for specific instructions on how to complete the deposit. To help your deposit go smoothly, use our deposit checklist before sending any funds.
