Our payment providers are Worldline (Online Eftpos), Stripe (Debit & Credit Card) and POLi, and all offer excellent security over their transactions (which is why we hand over to them for topping up accounts).
👉 Credit/Debit Card payments incur a 1.97% + $0.30 fee. Instant transfer is available with Visa, MasterCard, American Express, China Union Pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
Online Eftpos is a secure payment method. Unlike other similar
account-to-account payment methods, Online Eftpos does not ask you to
expose your bank credentials at any part during the transaction, and you
can only approve the payment via your banking app. If you suspect a
fraudulent transaction, please contact your bank immediately.
