Cut off time is 5.30pm (AEST), 7 days a week. If you instruct us to make a BPAY[SUP]®[/SUP]payment before the time specified, it will in most cases be treated as having been made on the same day. However, if you instruct us to make a BPAY[SUP]®[/SUP] payment on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, or if another participant in the BPAY[SUP]®[/SUP] Scheme does not process a BPAY[SUP]®[/SUP] payment as soon as they receive the details, the payment may take longer to be credited to the biller.
BPAY[SUP]®[/SUP] payments require additional processing times due to the processes involved. Regardless of whether the payment is made to a St.George account or to another financial institution, we require at least one day to process our side of the transaction.
While we endeavour to process all transactions in a timely manner, St.George cannot control when a participant in the BPAY[SUP]®[/SUP] Scheme processes their side of the transfer or payment. Therefore please allow up to two business days for your payment or transfer to be processed.
