Am I reading the fee disclosure correctly? $0.50 for each external transfer or direct debit and $0.60 for BPay? Surely not.

Alison Banney Finder

November 27, 2025

Hi Michael,

Yes those fees are correct. However, depending on yor combined balance each month you get these fees rebated to you.

You can earn rebates to offset the following transaction fees; EFTPOS, BPAY (excluding staffassisted), Pay Anyone (excluding staff-assisted) and Direct Debit.

Balances $5,000 to $19,999.99 get $5 worth of rebates per month.

Balances $20,000 to $49,999.99 get $10 worth of rebates per month.

Balances $50,000 to $99,999.99 get $20 worth of rebates per month.

Balances $100,000 to $199,999.99 get $35 worth of rebates per month.

Balances $200,000+ get $50 worth of rebates per month.

Thanks,

Alison
