How do I start making PayTo payments?

How is PayTo different from Direct Debit?

PayTo is a new digital alternative to the existing Direct Debit payment method, allowing you to make and manage payments from your bank account. Giving you more visibility and control through in BankSA Internet Banking or the BankSA App, it can be used to make both regular scheduled payments like a Direct Debit, or one-off real-time payments like a credit or debit card.

What happens if I pause or cancel my PayTo agreement?

You can pause or cancel a PayTo agreement at any time in BankSA Internet Banking or the BankSA App. Once your agreement is paused or cancelled, we’ll contact you to confirm the action you’ve taken. The business you have the PayTo agreement with will also be notified.

In most cases you should check with the business (biller) before you cancel or pause an agreement as they won’t be able to debit any further payments until the agreement is resumed or you authorise a new agreement.
