Postbillpay – part of your ‘every day’*

For over 20 years, Australia Post’s convenient Postbillpay service has been Australia’s preferred way of paying household bills. In fact, Australian bill payers continue to find the Postbillpay service practical and safe, and its staff friendly and helpful.

Having the largest physical retail presence in Australia makes Australia Post the most accessible retail network, servicing around one million customers every day.

With over 3,800 postal outlets nationwide offering Postbillpay facilities, your ratepayers and residents can easily pay in person by cash, cheque, EFTPOS or credit card. Councils can also use Postbillpay to collect payments by phone or over the internet.

Postbillpay accepts over 1,000 different types of bills, making it even more convenient. So, whether it’s a council rate or utility bill, your customer can pay a majority of their bills all in one location. It’s more than likely they are already familiar with the service.

With established back end systems for reconciling accounts, Australia Post also offers fast and reliable settlement of your Council’s receipts. Not only can Postbillpay improve your Council’s cash flow, it can also help reduce the cost and time involved in handling payments.

With a straightforward settlement process, it has never been easier to use Postbillpay. Councils receive daily transaction reports showing the consolidated funds collected. Consolidated funds are then transferred to the council’s bank account on the next business day after transaction processing, including cheques.

Given the convenience of Australia Post’s nationwide network of outlets, and the ease and speed of its back end settlement systems, it is not surprising that the Postbillpay service is considered one of the most preferred methods of collecting bill payments by customers.
