Please note we use an intermediary bank to facilitate international transfers and do not accept funds directly. The following information may be useful to the sending bank located overseas.
A Tier1 bank in Australia must be chosen as the intermediary to convert foreign currency to Australian dollars (if required) then onforward funds to Australian Settlements Limited (ASL) BIC ASLLAU2C.
The Intermediary bank in Australia is any of the majors – ANZ, CBA, NAB, Westpac and CitiBank Sydney.
The foreign sending bank will need to know which bank they hold an RMA with in Australia to enter in Field 56 of the Swift instructions. Codes of the available intermediary banks are in the table below.
ASL’s BIC ASLLAU2C will be the “Account With” Institution in Field 57 of the Swift instructions. Your BSB and account number along with your full legal name and address will be the Beneficiary Account details in Field 59.
| Intermediary Bank in Australia (SWIFT Field 56) |
One of:
|
| Bank Name | Newcastle Permanent |
| Bank Code (BIC)/SWIFT Code (SWIFT Field 57) | ASLLAU2C |
| Beneficiary/Receiving customer account details (SWIFT Field 59) | Please include our BSB then account number. For example 650000 XXXXXXXXX |
| Beneficiary name and address | Your full name (no initials) Street address (can’t be a post office box) |
Batch payments allow you to make multiple payments in a single transaction. You can set up batch payments by importing an ABA (Australian Bankers Association) direct entry file from your accounting or payroll system.

Please note payments made after 4pm may not be processed until the following day (refer to your account terms and conditions). You can’t delete or cancel an immediate transfer or a transfer due to be processed that day.
If you are receiving money into a personal account using your BSB and account number, and the payer’s financial institution participates in the Confirmation of Payee service, the person who’s paying you will be shown your account name only if the name they have entered is a match or a close match. If any of these details are incorrect, your name will not be shown to protect your privacy.
If you’re a business or government organisation account that’s receiving a payment, the name of your account will be shown to the payer, regardless of whether it’s a match or not.
If you have any questions or concerns on how this may impact you, please contact us.
For further information about how we manage your privacy including how you can access and correct your personal information or make a complaint about how we have handled your information, please see our Privacy and Credit Reporting Policy.
PayTo is a new alternative form of digital payment which allows you to manage payments from your account. By using PayTo, you have visibility and control over your payments through our app and internet banking. You can use PayTo like direct debit, to process regular payments, or it can also be used for one-off real-time payments, the same way as you use your credit or debit card.
Unless your payee informs you that your existing direct debit will be replaced with a PayTo agreement, nothing will change. We’ll be sure to let you know if this happens.
Once you’ve provided a payee with your BSB and Account Number found in your app or internet banking, or utilising your PayID, the payee will create the PayTo agreement. You’ll be sent the agreement via our app or internet banking to review and authorise.
Note: You will need to use your BSB and Account Number found in your Newcastle Permanent app, internet banking or bank statement. Please do not use your card number.
When referring to PayTo agreements, the payee is the person or business requesting or receiving funds from your account. You, the customer, make the payment to the payee.
Within the app, your payment agreements can be found under Profile > Personal > PayTo agreements.
If you’re using internet banking, you can find your payment agreements under Settings > PayTo agreements.
Access your active PayTo agreements via our app or internet banking and check the set payment frequency. This will help you determine the date of your next payment. As PayTo agreements are set up by payees, we aren’t able to specify when they’re due.
If you decline a PayTo agreement from a payee, the agreement is cancelled. This means the payee won’t be able to receive payments from the account. In the event that you change your mind, you’ll need to ask your payee to send another PayTo agreement authorisation request.
Once a PayTo agreement is in place, you’re only able to change the linked account or PayID. For any other changes to the agreement, you’ll need to contact your payee - they’ll send through an update request for you to review and authorise in our app or internet banking.
If you decline an update to a PayTo agreement, nothing changes. Your existing agreement remains in place, and your account will continue to be debited according to the frequency and amount previously set.
Acting according to your instructions, we’ll stop any payments being processed as part of the PayTo agreement. It’s important to remember, however, that pausing an agreement isn’t the same as cancelling or pausing your contract or subscription. As your payee will be unable to debit funds from your account, it’s possible that they may charge you fees for missing any payments while your PayTo agreement is paused.
Acting according to your instructions, we will cancel the PayTo agreement. You should keep in mind, however, that cancelling the PayTo agreement isn’t the same as cancelling your contract with your payee, and they may charge you fees for any payments you miss. It’s wise to always check with your payee before cancelling a PayTo agreement.
If you become aware of a payment agreement request or payment processed from your account that you are not expecting or that you didn’t authorise, appears suspicious or has been made in error, let us know as soon as possible.
If you have any complaints about goods or services purchased using a PayTo Payment Agreement you should resolve the complaint directly with the payee / merchant.
The notifications you’ll receive relating to PayTo will fall into three separate categories.

These notifications will be sent via push notification or email, when;

PayTo agreements can only be initiated by merchants or service providers who use PayTo. With this being said, over time, merchants or service providers with whom you’ve got an existing direct debit set up may decide to switch to using PayTo.
If a merchant or service provider automatically switches your direct debit to a PayTo agreement:
We will also notify you when we receive payment instructions for the migrated direct debit.
Confirmation of Payee is an industry-wide service rolling out in 2025 that adds a layer of protection for payments to a BSB and account number. It checks the account name, BSB and account number you’ve entered against the details held by the recipient’s bank and lets you know whether it’s a match. This can help you make informed decisions before you make a payment, reducing the risk of scams and mistaken payments.
Confirmation of Payee is an initiative of Australian Payments Plus, the same organisation that also provides trusted payment services like BPAY®, Osko®, eftpos, PayID® and PayTo®.
When you make certain payments to a BSB and account number, Confirmation of Payee checks the details you enter against the account details held by the recipient’s bank and gives you a match outcome. That helps you decide what you want to do next – and gives you more confidence that the money you’re paying is going where you intend it to.
You don’t need to do anything. Confirmation of Payee is already available in the app and internet banking. When you add a new payee or make certain payments to a BSB and account number you will be given the match result.
Confirmation of Payee will check account details when you add a payee or make a payment to a new payee or a payee you haven’t already checked using the service in the previous 6 months. The Confirmation of Payee service may check the payee name you enter against the account details held by the payee’s bank and may provide you with a match outcome to indicate that the account name matches the account.
If you are receiving money into a personal account using your BSB and account number, and the payer’s financial institution participates in the Confirmation of Payee service, the person who’s paying you will be shown your account name only if the name they have entered is a match or a close match. If any of these details are incorrect, your name will not be shown to protect your privacy.
If you’re a business or government organisation account that’s receiving a payment, the name of your account will be shown to the payer, regardless of whether it’s a match or not.
If you have any questions or concerns on how this may impact you, please contact us.
For further information about how we manage your privacy including how you can access and correct your personal information or make a complaint about how we have handled your information, please see our Privacy and Credit Reporting Policy.
If you want to get paid without any confusion or potential delays, you can share the account name, BSB and account number for your bank account. Alternatively, you can provide your PayID®. 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.
Confirmation of Payee checks the account name, BSB and account number you’ve entered against the details held by the recipient’s bank to let you know whether it’s a match or a close match – or if the details don’t match at all. All Confirmation of Payee information is passed securely between financial institutions to ensure your data remains safe.
If you enter the wrong account details, you can end up sending your money to the wrong recipient. It may not be possible to recover funds from an unintended recipient, which is why it’s important to check the accuracy of the details you enter before you send your money.
Yes. Confirmation of Payee will not stop you from making a payment (unless it identifies the recipient account is closed), but if the match outcome indicates that the details do not look right, it is your responsibility to confirm the account information before proceeding, such as by checking with the intended recipient. You should only proceed with the payment if you are confident that the recipient’s BSB and account number is correct, and the payee is trustworthy. We encourage you to be scam aware and always take steps to make sure you know who you are paying, as scams or mistaken payments may not be able to be recovered.
To ensure your name is accurate in the Confirmation of Payee service, please contact us to update your account details. You will need to provide appropriate proof of your change of name.
Names with special characters, like apostrophes (‘), will still match without being entered. For example, enter “O’Brien” as “O Brien” or “Obrien”. Or an account name with an ampersand (&) such as Paper & Pen can be entered as Paper Pen.
You may apply to opt-out of the Confirmation of Payee service in limited circumstances. You can do this by visiting any of our branches or by calling us. This means your account name and match outcome will not be displayed to payers and could impact the likelihood of the payer proceeding with the payment. To understand the opt out process and the implications, please contact us.
