2. Turn on "Receive payment requests" in your Settings.

How Online EFTPOS works
Our integration with Paymark's Online EFTPOS API provides a secure connection with the participating merchant, and enables the customer who is making purchases to use their ASB Mobile Banking app to securely approve (or decline) a payment request.
Other participating banks have also set up integrations with Paymark to enable them to process Online EFTPOS payments when their customers make online purchases from your business.
See Paymark's website for more information.
Info you need to know
- Online EFTPOS payments are not covered by card scheme protection for your customers, which means once the payment has been authorised it is final and irrevocable. ASB customers that use Online EFTPOS are covered by the same fraud protection service offered with their online banking.
- Payments must be authorised within a certain timeframe (four minutes for ASB customers) to complete the purchase.
- Each payment is currently restricted to a daily limit maximum of $5,000 set by the bank. Other participating banks have also set daily limits.
- This service can only be used by online customers who have a transaction account and can approve a payment using their mobile banking app.
- Businesses will need to engage and sign up with Paymark in order to enable Online EFTPOS as an online payment option.
- ASB (and other participating banks) provide the payments infrastructure for the payment requests to be presented in their mobile banking app and processed for approval back to the participating business.
