You can set up a Payment Agreement with a Merchant or Payment Initiator that offers PayTo as a payment option by providing the Merchant or Payment Initiator with a PayID you have created for your Account or the BSB and account number for your Account.

The Merchant or Payment Initiator sets up your ‘Payment Agreement’ through what’s called a Mandate Management Service, with you then authorising your Payment Agreement in your internet banking. . This is where you authorise how much, and when, you will pay for goods or services. It can be for recurring or one-off payments. You can also suspend or cancel your Payment Agreement at any time through your internet banking or by contacting us. If you suspend or cancel your Payment Agreement you must consider whether doing so may breach the terms of your agreement with the Merchant or Payment Initiator. We suggest you understand the consequences of pausing or cancelling a Payment Agreement before doing so. A Payment Agreement may also be paused, resumed or cancelled by a Merchant or Payment Initiator. We will notify you via SMS or email if this occurs.

Before the Payment Agreement takes effect, it will appear in your Australian Unity internet banking portal for your authorisation. Once you authorise the Payment Agreement, the Merchant or Payment Initiator will then be able to debit your Australian Unity Bank account according to the terms that you have agreed.

A Payment Agreement is the agreement that records the authorised payment terms between you and the Merchant or Payment Initiator.

It includes the payment terms that collectively make up the Payment Agreement, including who the payee or payment initiator is, the payment amount, how often payments may be debited from your Australian Unity Bank account, the date on which the first/last payment may be debited, a description of the agreement, and the first and last date that the agreement may be used for initiating payments.

Once you have authorised your Payment Agreements, you can manage your Payment Agreements by following these steps:

Internet Banking

1. Log in
2. Click ‘Payments'
3. Select 'PayTo Agreements'
4. In the Current PayTo Agreements tab, you will see all new, active and paused PayTo agreements. Select an agreement to view the details on the PayTo Agreement page.

Apply Pay transactions will appear as they normally do on an Australian Unity bank statement or credit card statement.

Is Apple Pay secure?

Yes, Apple Pay is secure. A unique Device Account Number is securely stored on a chip in the device so payment can be made without any card information having to be shared with the retailer.

Other features which help to keep your payments secure and safe include:

iPhone and iPad
All transactions require authentication using Face ID, Touch ID (if enabled), or by entering the device's passcode.

Apple Watch
Payments can only be authorised if the device passcode has been entered and skin contact with the device has not been lost. If the device has been removed from your wrist, Wrist Detect deactivates the NFC feature and Apple Pay. To re-activate the Near Field Communication (NFC) feature and Apple Pay the device passcode has to be entered again.

Please note: you should never share your device's passcode, or register more than one person’s Face ID, or Touch ID, while your card is registered to Apple Pay.

Can I get cash out with my Transaction Visa Debit card with Apple Pay?

You may be able to get cash out at selected merchants with your Transaction Visa Debit card by selecting 'eftpos CHQ' or 'eftpos SAV' in Apple Pay.

The Device Account Number can be found by opening the Wallet app, tap the card, then tap the  symbol in the top right corner and then scrolling down to find Device Account Number.

What should I do if my card is lost or stolen?

You should contact us straight away on 1300 790 740 (Monday to Friday: 8:30 am to 5:30 pm AEST/AEDT) so the lost or stolen card can be cancelled and no further purchases made. When the replacement card is issued we will automatically update Apple Pay with your new card details. You can continue to make purchases using Apple Pay before your new card arrives.
