  • Osko is a near real-time payment which can be made to a PayID or an eligible BSB and account number.
  • You can use your mobile number as a PayID linked to an eligible St.George account. Customers with business profiles can instead register an ABN PayID linked to a business account.
  • Includes up to 280 characters in your payment description.
  • Payments made are covered by fraud screening and detection and covered by St.George Secure.

  • Your PayID name will be your first and last name (for personal customers) and/or your registered business entity name (for customers using their business profile). This will be shown to you at the time you create your PayID. There isn't an option to change the name displayed.
  • If you don't wish for your name to be displayed, you can still be paid in near real-time to your eligible account without registering a PayID.
  • When you make a payment to others with PayID, the PayID name will be displayed letting you verify the payee before confirming the payment.

Both the sending and receiving accounts must be enabled for Osko payments. Osko payments will not be available on some accounts (including credit accounts), to offshore bank accounts or for transfers in a foreign currency.

Payments may take longer in some instances, such as where there is a technical interruption to the service, there is a payment to a first-time payee or when the payment is caught for additional security screening.
