How do I set up a scheduled payment?

Setting up direct debit, or scheduled payments is easy using Greater Bank’s online banking.

Payments can be set up in a number of ways – through both the BPAY^Ⓡ and 'Transfer' sections of online banking.

Transfer money

• Login and select ‘Transfer’ on the left of screen.
• Choose whether you are sending money between accounts or to a third party, and which account funds will be drawn from.
• Enter the desired amount, a description, then select ‘Later’ for the payment timing.
• You can now enter a start date for payments, frequency and how long you want payments to occur for.

Tip: When setting up a recurring scheduled payment to meet monthly interest-earning conditions on your savings account, schedule the payment for a date after the 5th of the month and before the 25th of the month. This ensures that the payment will be processed as required if the start or end of month falls on a public holiday or weekend.
