Make a Payment

To make a BPAY® or Pay Anyone payment choose the Payments category from the top navigation menu and click the Make Payment item in the side navigation menu. The Make Payment screen will be displayed where you will need to complete the following information:

From

Select the account you wish to make the payment from. The drop down list displays all your eligible accounts registered with Rural Bank Internet Banking.

Note:
Only those accounts where you have an Access Limit of Full Access will be available for selection in the From Accounts list. Those accounts where you have an Access Limit of No Withdrawal will not be shown in the From Accounts list. You can view the Access Limit on each of your accounts by using the Account Signatories function under the Accounts menu.

Pay Anyone Payments made from a Credit Card will be treated as a Cash Advance.

To

Select the payee you wish to pay. The drop down list displays the payees you have previously set up.

Note:
If the payee is not listed you will need to set up a new payee. You can do this by selecting either the New BPAY® or New Pay Anyone entry from the New Payee drop down list, or you can use the Payee List item in the side navigation menu.

When you add a Payee by using the New Payee drop down list, you can choose whether or not to add the new payee to your Payee List. If you choose not to add it to your Payee List it will appear temporarily in the To drop down list with a payee id of either BP000 or PA000, but will not be retained after your session is complete.

Three radio buttons allow you to choose when the payment is to take place. Click inside the appropriate radio button to indicate:

Note:
Monthly payments, if scheduled for the 29th 30th or 31st will be processed on the last day of the same month if that date is not valid.

If you choose to approve the transaction you will be advised the details have been accepted and issued with an Acknowledgment Number for use as a reference, should you need to confirm the transaction at a later date.

Payment Authentication

When a Token is attached to your Pay Anyone service, a Payment Authentication input box will be displayed within the Approval screen. As the person who is creating the Pay Anyone payment, you will need to enter the Authentication Key in order to Approve the payment. This key is generated by the Internet Banking security token that is linked to your logon details.

Note:

If a second signatory is required to authorise the payment, you will be presented with additional input boxes where one of the other signatories can enter their AccessId and PIN. If, as an authorised signatory, you have not independently logged on for some time, you may receive a message advising that you need to log on. This is to accept any updates to the Terms and Conditions. It is a requirement of the Bank that all Customers that use the service have seen and accepted the Terms and Conditions of use.

If a second signature is not entered at this time, any of the other authorised signatories can review the payment later by logging on to Internet Banking and selecting the hyperlink from the Account Balances screen that shows you how many Authorisations are Pending. (eg. You have 2 Authorisations Pending) Alternatively they can choose the Accounts category from the top navigation menu and then selecting the Authorisations Pending item in the side navigation menu.
