Funds may be added into the Account by:

  • Transferring funds electronically (typically from another Financial Institution) using the BSB and Account number or PayID
  • Setting up a Direct Debit to pull funds from an external account

You can access the Account and find the BSB and Account number through the Budgetly App.

Payments to the Account will be credited to the Available Funds once they have cleared.

Withdrawals may be made from Your Account by:

  • Using a Card to make a Purchase at a Merchant or an ATM withdrawal (unless the feature is restricted by an Admin)
  • Pay Anyone (payment to a third party)
  • BPAY
  • Authorising a Direct Debit

Warning:

It is important that You enter the correct BSB and account information or PayID when making payments from the Account. Where incorrect information is entered:

  • funds may be credited to the account of an unintended recipient if the BSB and account number or PayID do not belong to the person named as the recipient; and
  • if the incorrect details are entered, it may not be possible to recover funds from an unintended recipient.

Note: When making a PayID transaction, the PayID owner’s name will be displayed before the payment is submitted. You should check that it matches the name of their intended recipient. If the name does not match who You intend to pay, You should contact the intended payee to confirm that all details are correct before proceeding to make payment.

8.3 BPAY

8.3.1 As a member of the BPAY Scheme and a subscriber to BPAY Payments, we offer BPAY Payments to our customers. BPAY Payments is an electronic payments service through which you can ask us to make payments on your behalf to organisations known as Billers who tell you that you can make payments to them through the BPAY Payments payment service.

8.3.2 If there is any inconsistency between the Terms applying to the Account and these BPAY terms and conditions, these BPAY terms and conditions will apply to the extent of that inconsistency.

Making a Payment

8.3.3 To make a Payment using BPAY Payments, you must provide us with a valid payment direction. When we receive a valid payment direction from you, we will debit the account you specify with the amount of the payment specified in your payment direction.

8.3.4 We will treat your payment direction as valid if you provide us with the required information and comply with all security procedures Budgetly requires. For the purposes of this clause:

(i) the required information you must give us includes:

(a) the Biller Code of the Biller to be paid;

(b) your Customer Reference Number;

(c) the amount of the payment;

(d) details of the account to be debited with the amount of the payment; and

(e) if the payment direction relates to a scheduled Payment, the date the payment is to be made; and

8.3.5 You acknowledge that we are not obliged to effect a Payment if you do not give us all of the required information, if any of the information that you give us is inaccurate, or if you do not comply with the security procedures set out by Budgetly.

8.3.6 We may reject a payment direction if the Biller who is to receive the Payment has terminated their BPAY arrangements with their financial institution and has not entered into new BPAY arrangements with another financial institution.

Processing BPAY Payments

8.3.7 We will not accept an order to stop a Payment once you have instructed us to make that Payment.

8.3.8 If we are advised that your Payment cannot be processed by a Biller, we will:

(i) advise you of this;

(ii) credit your account with the amount of the Payment; and

(iii) take all reasonable steps to assist you in making the Payment as quickly as possible.

8.3.9 You should notify us immediately if you become aware that you may have made a mistake (except when you make an underpayment, for those errors see clause 8.3.11 below) when instructing us to make a Payment, or if you did not authorise a Payment that has been made from your account. The clause titled 'Liability’ below describes when and how we will arrange for such a Payment (other than in relation to an underpayment) to be refunded to you.

8.3.10 You acknowledge that the receipt by a Biller of a mistaken or erroneous payment from a third party does not constitute under any circumstances part or whole satisfaction of any underlying debt owed between you and that Biller.

8.3.11 You must be careful to ensure that you tell us the correct amount you wish to pay. If you instruct us to make a Payment and you later discover that the amount you told us to pay was less than the amount you needed to pay, you can make another Payment for the difference between the amount actually paid to a Biller and the amount you needed to pay.

Timing of Payments

8.3.12 If you tell us to make a Payment by giving us a valid payer direction on a Banking Business Day before the cut off time communicated to you by Budgetly it will be processed on the same day.

8.3.13 Billers who participate in BPAY Payments have agreed that a Payment you make will be treated as received by the Biller to whom it is directed:

(i) on the date you make that Payment, if you tell us to make the Payment before the Payment Cut Off Time on a Banking Business Day; or

(ii) on the next Banking Business Day, if you tell us to make a Payment after the Payment Cut Off Time on a Banking Business Day, or on a non-Banking Business Day.

8.3.14 A delay may occur in processing a Payment, including if:

(i) you tell us to make the Payment after the Payment Cut Off Time and the following     day is not a Banking Business Day;

(ii) you tell us to make a Payment either on a day which is not a Banking Business Day or after the Payment Cut Off Time on a Banking Business Day;

(iii) we do, or another financial institution participating in BPAY Payments does, not    comply with any applicable obligations relating to BPAY Payments; or

(iv) a Biller fails to comply with any applicable obligations relating to BPAY Payments.

8.3.15 While it is expected that any delay in processing under this agreement will not continue for more than one Banking Business Day, any such delay may continue for a longer period. If we are aware that a delay may continue for a longer period, we will advise you.

Liability

  • Mistaken payments, unauthorised payments and fraud

8.3.16 We will attempt to make sure that your Payments are processed promptly by the participants in BPAY Payments, including those Billers to whom your Payments are to be made. You must promptly tell us if you:

(i) become aware of any delays or mistakes in processing your Payments;

(ii) did not authorise a Payment that has been made from your account (for clarity, this   does not include where the payment was initiated by you or anybody with your knowledge or consent); or

(iii) think that you have been fraudulently induced to make a Payment.

8.3.17 We will attempt to rectify any such matters in relation to your Payments in the way described in this clause. Except as set out in this Liability clause, we will not be liable for any loss or damage you suffer as a result of using BPAY Payments.

8.3.18 You must provide us with such assistance as may be reasonably necessary to conduct investigations in respect of any mistaken, unauthorised or fraudulent payments.

8.3.19 The longer the delay between when you tell us of the error and the date of your Payment, the more difficult it may be to perform the error correction. For example, we or your Biller may not have sufficient records or information available to us to investigate the error. If this is the case, you may need to demonstrate that an error has occurred, based on your own records, or liaise directly with the Biller to correct the error.

  • Mistaken payments

8.3.20 If a Payment is made to a person or for an amount which is not in accordance with your instructions (if any), and your account was debited for the amount of that Payment, we will credit that amount to your account. However, if you were responsible for a mistake resulting in that Payment (e.g. due to entering the wrong details as part of a payment direction and we cannot recover the amount of that Payment from the person who received it within 20 Banking Business Days of us attempting to do so, you must pay us that amount.

  • Unauthorised payments

8.3.21 If a Payment is made in accordance with a payment direction, which appeared to us to be from you or made on your behalf but for which you did not give authority, we will credit your account with the amount of that unauthorised payment. This does not include a Payment where the payment direction was made by you or by anybody with your knowledge or consent. Further, in all cases, you must pay us the amount of an unauthorised payment if the payment was made as a result of you not complying with any prescribed security procedures.

8.3.22 If we are able to recover part of the amount of that Payment from the person who received it, you must only pay us the amount of that Payment that we are not able to recover.

8.3.23 If you tell us that a Payment made from your account is unauthorised, you must first give us your written consent addressed to the Biller who received that Payment, consenting to us obtaining from the Biller information about your or your account with that Biller or the Payment, including your customer reference number and such information as we reasonably require to investigate the Payment. If you do not give us that consent, the Biller may not be permitted under law to disclose to us the information we need to investigate or rectify that, Payment.

  • Fraudulent payments

8.3.24 If a Payment is made as a result of you being fraudulently induced into making that Payment and any other person involved in the BPAY Scheme committed, had actual knowledge of, or with reasonable diligence should have detected, the fraud, then that person should refund you the amount of the fraud-induced payment. However, if that person does not refund you the whole amount of the fraud-induced payment, you must bear the loss.

  • Resolution principles

8.3.25 If a Payment you have made falls within the type described in clause 'Unauthorised Payments’ and also clause ‘Mistaken Payments’ or clause ‘Fraudulent Payment’, then we will apply the principles stated in clause ‘Unauthorised Payments’.

8.3.26 If a Payment you have made falls within both the types described in clause ‘Mistaken Payment’ and clause ‘Fraudulent Payment’, then we will apply the principles stated in clause ‘Fraudulent Payments’.

  • No “chargebacks”

8.3.27 Except where a Payment is a Mistaken Payment, Unauthorised Payment or a Fraudulent Payment, as those terms are described in these BPAY terms and conditions, Payments are irrevocable. No refunds will be provided through BPAY Payments where you have a dispute with the Biller about any goods or services you may have agreed to acquire from the Biller. This is the case even where your Payment has been made using a credit card account or a charge account card, no chargeback rights will be available for BPAY. Any dispute must be resolved with the Biller.

  • Indemnity

8.3.28 You indemnify us against any loss or damage we may suffer due to any claim, demand or action of any kind brought against us arising directly or indirectly because you acted negligently or fraudulently in connection with this agreement.

9. Security

(a). Protecting important information

It is important that You (including anyone You have delegated authority and access to) keep Your Devices, Budgetly App, Card information, PIN and Passcodes secure:

You must not:

  • unnecessarily disclose the Card number on your Card
  • write a PIN or Passcode down either on the Card or on something You carry with the Card
  • share Your PIN or Passcode with any other unauthorised person
  • allow another person to register their Biometric details on Your Device

 (b). What to do when a Cardholder suspects their Card has been lost

If You believe a physical Card is lost (and there’s a chance it will be found) the card can be Frozen in the Budgetly App so that it cannot be used. If the Card is located, it must be Un-Frozen in the Budgetly App. If the Card cannot be located, You must cancel the card in the Budgetly App. A cancelled card cannot be reactivated

(c). What to do when a Card, Account or Device has been compromised:

Where You think a transaction is Unauthorised, is otherwise incorrect or someone else (without permission) has access to the Account or any Cards, Devices, PINs or Passcodes, this must be reported immediately       by creating a ticket in the Budgetly App or Website. Cardholders should also mark their Card lost or stolen in the Budgetly app.

(d). Confirmation of Payee

What is Confirmation of Payee?

Confirmation of Payee allows financial institutions to undertake a matching process on account details when their customers (payers) are making an outbound payment using a BSB and account number for the recipient of that payment.

It is intended to assist customers by letting them see more details about where they are paying their money before making a payment, thereby reducing mistaken payments, and potential loss due to a fraud or scam.

While We do not currently offer this service, other financial institutions may provide it to their customers. As a result, the Budgetly Account details may be used and shared for Confirmation of Payee purposes.

How it works

When a customer at another financial institution enters Your Account Name, BSB and Account Number to make a payment, Confirmation of Payee will check the details entered to “match” the details We hold for Your Account.

The paying customer will be able to see the result of the matched record, which enables them to choose whether to proceed with the payment (details match), to pause and check the details again, or to stop the payment (details do not match).

Match outcomes

There are four (4) types of match outcomes, the types and meaning are:

Match

Means the details the payer has entered match Your Account records. Your Account name details will be displayed.

Close Match

Means the details the payer has entered closely match Your Account records. Your Account name details will be displayed.

No Match

Means that the details the payer entered do not match Your account. Your Account name details will NOT be displayed.

Error

The Confirmation of Payee service could not confirm the Account details the payer has entered. Your Account name details will NOT be displayed.

What information should be shared to receive a payment from someone else?

To receive money from someone else without any potential delays, share the name, BSB and Account number for Your Account.

This is especially important if You’re a business with an Account name that differs from the name You’re using to take a payment; for instance, if You have a different trading name for a particular part of Your business.

Opting out of Confirmation of Payee

Opt-out is not available for business accounts.

CoP Acknowledgement

You acknowledge and authorise:

i. Us to use and disclose Your Account details in the Confirmation of Payee service; and

ii. Payers’ financial institutions to use Your Account details for the purposes of the Confirmation of Payee service; and

iii. Us to confirm, disclose, store and use Your Account details through the Confirmation of Payee service to government agencies for the purposes of making a payment to You by government agencies

10. Responsibility for Mistaken or Unauthorised Transactions

Where You think a transaction is an Unauthorised Transaction or is otherwise incorrect, please get in touch with Budgetly immediately and provide as much information as You can about the relevant transaction so Budgetly and Hay can investigate further.

There are specific circumstances and time frames where We can claim a refund in connection with a Disputed Transaction. This means that our ability to investigate a Disputed Transaction is limited to the time frames imposed by payment service providers and card schemes (like Visa) that We deal with, so it is important to let Us know as soon as possible after You become aware of a Disputed Transaction.

If You suspect that the security of the Account has been compromised, please request Budgetly to block the Account to avoid continued Unauthorised use.
 
(a) Mistaken payment
Where You make a mistake when making a payment, You must inform Us as soon as You realise that a mistaken payment was made. You must provide Us with sufficient details of the transaction, so We can attempt to trace it. We will try to reverse the transaction and retrieve Your funds. However, if We can’t reverse the transaction, We are not responsible, and You, the Account Owner will be liable for the mistaken payment.
 
If We are reasonably satisfied that funds were paid into Your account by mistake, through unauthorised activity, or due to fraud, and Your account has a sufficient balance, We may debit Your account for the amount received and return it to the payer without prior notice.
 
(b) Incorrect payments/issues with a Purchase    
If You have a problem with a Purchase made with a Card or a Disputed Transaction, the first step is to get in touch with the Merchant. If the matter cannot be resolved with the merchant, contact Budgetly about the Disputed Transaction.

(c) Lost, Stolen Card or Compromised PIN

You will not be responsible for Unauthorised Transactions:

  • that occur before a Card is issued to You;
  • that occur after a Card has been Frozen or cancelled and while it remains Frozen; or

  • transactions that may have been duplicated.

Where possible, We will inform You why We have suspended or closed Your Card(s) and/or Account, however, in some cases, our legal obligations may prevent Us from providing this information, and our failure to inform You of the reasons does not constitute a breach of these Terms.

Hay is not responsible for any loss that arises where We Block or Cancel Your Card(s) and/or Account.

  • (c) If We cancel Your Card(s) and Account:
  • You must pay any outstanding fees or charges owed to us.

Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Finance (AML) laws

As the Issuer of the Card and Account, Hay must comply with the Anti-money Laundering and Counter-terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth) (AML Act) and its related Rules.

There are several obligations under the AML Act which We must comply with including know Your customer requirements – this is why We require You to provide evidence of who You are and where You live.

Verifying Your identity and the Document Verification Service

When You and your authorised persons provide identification information, We are required to verify that information, which We do through independent providers, one of which is the Document Verification Service or DVS.

DVS is provided by the Australian Government, and allows Us to verify Your identity documents, such as Your driver’s license, passport and, if applicable, Your residency status (Visa check). When You are completing the application process and uploading Your identity document(s), You will be asked to provide a consent for Your document to be verified by the DVS as part of that process – this is part of the online process, and You may choose to either (i) provide Your consent or (ii) not provide Your consent.

What happens if You do not consent to have Your identity verified?

If You do not provide Your consent for the DVS to conduct the verification of Your identity document, We may not be able to validate Your identity. If We cannot complete Your identity verification, We may not be able to provide You with the product and services You are seeking from us.

Notifying changes to Your details

You must let Us know as soon as possible when any of Your details change. You can update Your information through the Budgetly App.

If You have any issues with making changes to Your details, please contact Us for assistance.

What happens when We have a concern about a transaction?

Hay is committed to protecting You and Your monies from fraud and scam activities.

Where We reasonably consider that a transaction is fraudulent or may breach the AML Act, We may need to delay or refuse transactions or Block or close Your Card(s) and Account. We must Block the Card(s) and Account until We can verify or re-verify Your identity.

We are not responsible for any loss that arises where this occurs.

Where We can, We will let You know why We have stopped the transaction or Blocked the Account. However, in some instances our legal obligations will stop Us from being able to tell You and failing to inform You of the reasons is not a breach by Us.
