Customer Reference Number (CRN)
A CRN is a unique number that the business that issued the bill uses to identify your account, or the invoice you are paying. You can find it in the payment options section of your bill, usually on the back or second page. Look out for the BPAY logo.
Note: Your CRN may differ for each bill so ensure that you check the CRN on each bill when you pay it.
Yes. For Bank First, your daily BPAY transaction limit is $10,000 per account. Note that this may change for some billers that may set a minimum or maximum amount they accept from particular sources, such as credit card accounts.
This depends on whether your biller charges for the cost of processing payments. Your biller can tell you if, and how much, they charge for processing payments.
Yes, you can send and receive SMS while overseas if your handset and SIM card allow global roaming and the country you are in operates via a compatible network. Please check with your mobile phone provider.
Firstly, check that you’ve got the payment details right, including the Biller Code and the Customer Reference Number (CRN). You should also make sure that the business you are trying to pay accepts payments from the type of account you’re paying them from (for example, some businesses may not accept payments from credit card accounts).
If this doesn’t work, contact us.
If you accidentally:
paid too much
used the wrong Biller Code or Customer Reference Number (CRN)
accidentally paid the same bill twice.
Contact us immediately and we’ll see if we can cancel the payment.
If you paid too little, simply make another payment to cover the difference.
Check the time you made the payment - you may have missed our cut-off time or made the payment on a weekend or public holiday, it won’t go through until the next Business Day.
If your payment should have already gone through, contact us, with your BPAY receipt number handy.
Unlike for some card payments, we can’t get a refund for a BPAY payment if a business doesn’t deliver. Contact the business directly or talk to the consumer protection authorities in your state or territory.
