EB Pay don't provide any phone contact details and are possibly offshore. What sort of data security do they provide?
I have no idea. I started with small amounts and slowly worked up. All charges were in AUD, posted accurately and promptly. I put hundreds of thousands through without an issue - except for the eventual enforcement of a credit card surcharge!
You can even pay your credit card using the same credit card or to your personal account using a credit card.
Is it worth buying points at 1.07 c per point??
Hang on - is that mean, I can use visa/MC pay my ownself to personal bank account, and still earns CC point ? With a fee 0.8% ?
let say $5000 x 0.8% = $40 fees , $1 for 1.5points , equals 3750 SQ points ( lets not mention which CC is this ) = 1 SQ point 0.0106 ??
Thought I'd give it a try this morning. Signed up quite easily. They say on the site that the first $1000 every calendar month is surcharge free then 0.8% applied to top ups funded from credit cards for the rest of the month.
Given it's the end of the month, have processed a $1000 tester from my credit card and directed it to my transaction account. Will see how long it takes to turn around before I do a more serious payment to a third party.
I've ever logged on the one time after creating my account (around 7am AEST 30/07/2018 - as I write this). It has a "welcome back" message with the following:

Is this hosted offshore? Looks like they're either 10 hours behind or something else is at play.
Also, when I checked my pending items on my credit card, the $1000 was already showing which is very fast. No surcharge added. Merchant showing is "EBP Sydney".
I figured that calendar month was too good to be true since it's nearly month end now. I did find the following in the FAQs:

Assuming the initial payment arrives in good time, I'll be using this service more frequently. Looks like a good replacement for RewardPay and B2BPay. Found B2BPay quite slow - took over a week to make an ATO payment recently.
How long have ATO payments been taking from EasyBillPay?
I am not sure if this works, seems like it allow you top up balance from cc, then you can withdraw funds into your bank acc. Without have to make/pay any bills.
