2. Before you can create your PayID to receive NPP Payments into your account, you have to satisfy us that you either own or are authorised to use your chosen PayID and you have an eligible account. For details of eligible accounts go to here.
3. Whether you choose to create a PayID for your account or not, you and each Authorised User, may use a payee's PayID to make particular types of NPP Payments to the payee from your account provided that:
(a) we and the payee's financial institution support the NPP Payment service;
(b) the payee's account is able to receive the particular NPP Payment; and
(c) the PayID is not locked.

(a) how PayID may be used for particular NPP Payment services, your obligations to input correct PayID details and to check the payee's PayID Name before sending an NPP Payment see here; and

7. You must satisfy us that you own or are authorised to use your chosen PayID before you can use it to receive NPP Payments. This means we may ask you to provide evidence to establish this to our satisfaction, whether you are already registered for any other mobile or online banking or online payment services with us or not.
8. Depending on the policy of a payer's financial institution, your PayID Name may be displayed to payers who send NPP Payments to you. At the same time, you create your PayID, we will either enable you to:
(a) confirm your selection of a PayID Name for display to payers; or
(b) select an alternative PayID Name, such as your business name, for display.
9. We will not permit selection of a PayID Name that is likely to mislead or deceive a payer into sending you NPP Payments intended for another payee, or which for any reason is inappropriate.
Creating your PayID:
10. You can create a PayID for receiving NPP Payments here or using our Banking App. We will not create a PayID for you without your prior consent.
11. You may choose to create more than one PayID for your account.

If you try to create a PayID for your account which is identical to another PayID in the service, you will see the following message Unable to Register PayID.

Until the transfer is completed, NPP Payments to your PayID will be directed to your account with us.
