DEFT Digital Payments Guide

We're changing our DEFT payment options. To find out what options your biller has made available for you, please refer to your DEFT invoice.

 

BPAY®

  • You can pay using BPAY via your bank’s online or telephone banking.
  • Your biller will provide you with a Biller Code and Reference Number.

 

DEFT.com.au

You can either:

  • set up one-off or recurring payments from your bank account, debit or credit card
  • set up a direct debit arrangement for your biller to debit payments when due (eligible billers only1).

American Express, Diners Club, Mastercard, and Visa cards are accepted. Transaction fees may apply.

 

Australia Post

  • Pay in-store at Australia Post via eftpos or cheque.
  • You’ll need a barcode generated by your biller. This can usually be found on your invoice or levy notice for strata lot owners.

Top tips to keep your accounts safe

• Look out for unusual requests from your biller, for example changes to accepted payment methods.
• If your biller provides updated payment details by email, obtain verbal confirmation the request is genuine before making any payments to the new details.
• Always pay DEFT directly via one of the methods outlined in this flyer.
• Never make payments to intermediaries who may offer you a discount on your bill.
