NPP and Osko will be available to customers who satisfy the requirements set out in these Terms. Availability of this Service will be as notified in accordance with (4) and (5) below.
Great Southern Bank will notify you from time to time of the services that are available and the channels through which these services can be accessed. Notices may be published, including by posting to our website, or may be through direct communication. Where we are able to do so we will tell you:

• If NPP and Osko Payments are suspended or discontinued;
• if there are any delays in processing Transactions;
• when your Transaction is likely to be completed; and
• give you the opportunity to cancel a Transaction if it is delayed.

2. How to make NPP and Osko Payments

• NPP and Osko Payments will be available from all transaction and savings accounts. Payments can be made to deposit and loan accounts. NPP and Osko Payments will be presented as a payment option on the channels through which it is available.
• Section 14 describes how customers can create, transfer, update and close PayIDs.
• These terms are additional to the terms and conditions applying to the account through which you are accessing the services, to the extent that those account terms are not inconsistent with or expressly overridden by the NPP Terms.
• If there is any inconsistency between the terms and conditions applying to the relevant account and/or service and the NPP Terms, the NPP Terms will apply to the extent of that inconsistency.

3. Transaction limits

Daily transaction limits applying to NPP and Osko Payments are set out in Section 24 of the Electronic access facilities and ePayments conditions of use section of the General Information Terms and Conditions. Reductions to daily limits and temporary limit increases may be requested by calling Great Southern Bank on 133 282 or by visiting your local branch. Great Southern Bank retains absolute discretion in agreeing to these requests.

4. PayID

• You do not have to register a PayID.
• When you direct an NPP or Osko Payment to a PayID connected to a joint account, other account holders may be able to see the messages and notifications associated with the Payment. Similarly, depending on the settings you choose for your PayID, other account holders on your account may be able to see messages and notifications associated with Payments addressed to your PayID. You can obtain more information regarding the use of PayIDs by joint accounts in Section 14.
• When initiating a Transaction, you might direct the Transaction to an incorrect account if you get a PayID wrong. To try to avoid this, we will ask you to verify that you have the right PayID. We will do this by presenting you with the associated PayID Name as an additional confirmation of the intended recipient before you submit a Transaction. Failing to take reasonable steps to ensure you are sending the money to the correct account, including reviewing the PayID Name prior to authorising your payment, may increase your liability if misdirected funds cannot be subsequently recovered.
• In order to better provide you with the Services under NPP and Osko, we may retain certain information relating to PayIDs you use. For example we may retain, use and disclose information relating to PayIDs you provide us in order to facilitate scheduled payments. The Great Southern Bank Group APP & Credit Information Policy has more information on how we collect, use, handle and store Personal Information, which would include PayIDs. You can find this on our website at www.greatsouthernbank.com.au

5. How NPP and Osko payments work

• You can access NPP and Osko Payments through our digital channels. It is not necessary to subscribe to the service before being able to use it.
• NPP and Osko Payments offer you the ability to make a payment in near-real time to another financial institution who is also offering this service. You can make a Transaction by either entering a PayID or BSB/ Account number. Once you have entered the payment details we will let you know whether the payee financial institution is able to receive this type of Transaction. In rare occasions where we will not be able to determine this before you make a payment. In these instances we will notify you after you have submitted your payment via your preferred payment channel and you will be able to resend your payment using a different payment type.
• You can make immediate, scheduled and recurring payments.
• The status of your payment will be displayed in the transactions overview.

6. Payment Directions

• When you give this information to us you must comply with the security procedures set out in Great Southern Bank’s General Information Terms and Conditions. This includes the requirement that you do not disclose a pass code to third parties (including, where relevant, allowing third parties to register a fingerprint on a TouchID enabled device).
• You should ensure that all information you provide in relation to an NPP or Osko Payment is correct as we will not be able to cancel the payment once it has been processed.

11. Limitation of liability

• Limitations of liability are as provided for in Sections 6 and 8 of these NPP Terms, and as set out in the “Electronic access facilities and ePayments” section of the General Information Terms and Conditions.
• When we and the sending financial institution determine that an NPP or Osko Payment made to your account is either a mistaken internet payment or a misdirected payment, we may, without your consent, and subject to complying with any other applicable terms and conditions, deduct from your account an amount equal to that mistaken internet payment or misdirected payment. We will notify you if this occurs.
