PRESS RELEASE
Sydney, Australia, 23 April 2026
Budgetly, the Australian spend management platform that helps businesses eliminate overspending before it happens, today announced that BPAY® is now live inside the platform. With BPAY available alongside bank transfer and PayID, Australian businesses can pay utilities, rent, and thousands of billers directly from Budgetly, without switching systems.
The addition means finance teams can manage all bill payments where they already manage spend, with the same approval workflows and budget controls applied to every payment.
The problem: bill payments still create hidden work and hidden risk
Even in modern finance teams, bill payments often happen outside the spend workflow. Someone downloads an invoice, then logs into the bank to pay it. Approvals happen in chat or email. The context behind a payment gets lost. Visibility comes after the fact, if at all.
That’s not just inefficient. It’s where overspending and surprises creep in.
Meet BPAY inside Budgetly, alongside bank transfer and PayID
BPAY is now built into Budgetly, so teams can manage bill payments where they already manage spend. Pay BPAY billers directly from Budgetly, with the same controls and visibility relied on for the rest of company spend.
BPAY is used by 45,000+ billers across Australia, making it one of the most widely accepted bill payment methods in the country.
Why this matters: less admin, fewer workarounds, full visibility
Efficiency: pay all bills in one place
When payments are scattered across different platforms, every payment takes longer than it should.
With BPAY in Budgetly:
- No need to log into the bank for day-to-day bill payments
- No need for multiple tools to cover different payment methods
- Set up a BPAY supplier once, and every future payment is just a few clicks
It’s a cleaner workflow that removes friction for finance teams and reduces repetitive admin.
Eliminate overspending: approvals and budget controls stay in place
Budgetly’s promise is straightforward: eliminate overspending before it happens.
That only works when payments flow through the right controls. With BPAY now inside Budgetly:
- Every BPAY payment follows existing approval workflows
- Budget controls apply before money leaves the business
- Nothing gets paid “off to the side” without finance visibility
Teams can move fast and stay in control, without relying on manual policing.
Trust and reliability: Australia’s most trusted bill payment system
BPAY is a familiar, proven payment method that Australian businesses rely on every day, from utilities and telecoms to rent and services.
Now that trust is built right into the spend workflow, so teams can pay the billers they need to pay without breaking process.
