Maximum daily authorisation limits

PayTo® agreements

Your default daily authorisation limit is $300 but you can increase this amount up to $5,000. To change your daily authorisation limit in online banking head to ‘Payments’ > ‘Payment limits’ in online banking or in the app go to 'Payments' > ‘Manage’ > ‘PayTo authorisation limit.’ Make sure you’re registered for SMS code for this to work.

Your PayTo daily authorisation limit is the total value of PayTo agreements you can authorise in a day – it doesn’t apply to PayTo payments that come out of your account. Keep in mind that no limit applies to direct debits that have been switched to PayTo agreements (unless they’re amended by the merchant via PayTo).
