I believe it is 24 hours for the first, then instant after that.
- elyobo 5y agoThat's at the bank's discretion, rather than something enforced by the system.
- plantain 5y agoIt still totally undermines the system. I went two hours out of town to pickup a car, expecting to pay on the spot with PayID instantly, just like dozens of times before. It triggered the mysterious 24 hour waiting period of my or their bank (the biggest in Australia), and of course the sellers wouldn't let me take the car. Dozens of calls to the bank, escalations - nothing can be done. I had to cancel the transaction (by lying and saying it was fraudulent), drove to the bank, withdrew the money in cash, and paid the good-old-fashioned way. headdesk. PayID is useless as a payment system if you can't actually rely on it to make a payment in a timely manner.
- akdor1154 5y agoWhat a coincidence, a fraud protection scheme that happens to make NPP unsuitable for retail payments right off the bat. Surely unintentional and nothing to do with banks and credit cards wanting to preserve their racket of skimming every purchase in the country.
- zizee 5y agoFWIW what GP wrote is not true of all banks in AU. I have made several transfers to new payids recently and they have all gone through immediately.
- askvictor 5y agoI've never experienced that, and as others have said, it's not true of all banks; most bill it as near-instant. I think the biggest barrier to adoption for retail payments is a visibility issue - most people I've spoken to have no idea what Osko or PayID are.
