2.2 We are not the operator or provider of the PayID Service. The PayID Service is operated by NPP Australia Limited.
2.3 You are not required to create a PayID if you do not wish to. We will not create a PayID for your Account without your consent.

(a) we are able to verify your identity in a manner that is satisfactory to us;
(b) you own or are authorised to use the PayID you have chosen (for example, mobile phone number, email address etc);
(c) we reasonably believe that the PayID you have chosen is not likely to be misleading as to who you are or who an accountholder of the Account is; and
(d) creating the PayID will not infringe on the intellectual property rights of any person.
3.2 Your creation of a PayID for your Account is subject to our discretion. We may refuse to allow you to create a PayID for an Account for any reason, including if we are not satisfied that the requirements in clause 3.1 have been met.
3.3 The PayID Types available for you to choose as the PayID for your Account may differ depending on your circumstances and the type of Account you have. Not all PayID Types are available for all Account types, and a PayID may not be able to be created for some Account types.
3.4 The method by which you can create a PayID for your Account depends on the PayID Type you choose for your PayID. For some PayID Types, you may create your PayID in Internet Banking, but for others, you must contact us in branch or by phone to create your PayID.

At our discretion, we may choose the PayID Name that is registered in the PayID Service when a PayID is created, and we may change the PayID Name linked to a PayID at any time if we think it is reasonably necessary to ensure that the PayID Name represents the name of an accountholder.
3.8 You may create, or request that we create, more than one PayID for an Account, but each PayID must be unique and can only be used for that Account. Once you create a PayID, you cannot use that same PayID for any other Account with us or with any accounts with other financial institutions. See section 7 for more information about duplicate PayIDs.

5.8 A PayID cannot be transferred or updated while it is locked, and no NPP Payments can be received using a PayID while the PayID is locked or after it has been closed.

7.1 The PayID Service does not support duplicate PayIDs. If you try to create, or request that we create, a PayID for your Account which is identical to another PayID created in the PayID Service, it will be rejected and we will notify you accordingly.
7.2 If a PayID cannot be created for your Account because it has already been created for another account with another financial institution, or you believe that someone else has linked the PayID you wish to choose to their account, contact us on1300 138 831. If we are satisfied that you own or are authorised to use the PayID, we can lodge a dispute with the relevant financial institution on your behalf to determine whether that financial institution should close the PayID. There is no guarantee that the dispute will be resolved in your favour or result in you being able to create the PayID for your Account. We will promptly notify you of the outcome of the dispute.
By creating, or requesting that we create, a PayID for your Account, you authorise and consent to:
(a) us disclosing your personal information (including the PayID, PayID Name and details of your Account) to NPP Australia Limited for the purposes of creating the PayID and enabling you to use the PayID Service; and
(b) third parties, such as NPP Australia Limited and other financial institutions that connect to or use the NPP, collecting, storing, using and disclosing your personal information for the purposes of constructing NPP Payment messages and enabling payers to make NPP Payments to you (including disclosing the PayID Name to payers for NPP Payment validation).
