PayID for DEFT payments

PayID^® lets your payers pay you directly from their banking app or online banking. Instead of using traditional bank details, they only need a unique email PayID generated using their existing DEFT reference number

[Payer’s existing DRN]@deft.com.au – e.g. 12345678@deft.com.au

When a PayID is registered for a Short DRN, any leading zeros will automatically be omitted (e.g., DRN 000123456 becomes 123456@deft.com.au).

PayID is automatically enabled. However, there may be cases where your payer needs to get their PayID so they can make a payment by PayID. They can simply get their PayID when needed. 

We’re working with software providers to update their DEFT templates to include registered PayID details.

It's easy for payers to use PayID for their DEFT payments. We've created a simple guide with step-by-step instructions, which you can share with them: Using PayID for DEFT payments.
