Yes. Protecting our members’ funds is of paramount importance to The Capricornian. Payments made through the NPP enjoy the same high levels of security which The Capricornian is renowned for. Some of the protections in place include:
- 2 Factor Authentication – a two-step authentication process which adds another layer of security to your transactions. A unique code will be sent to your phone then entered into the relevant space where requested.
- 24/7 Fraud Monitoring – The Capricornian will ensure that all NPP transactions are monitored 24/7. You will be contacted if we suspect you have been the victim of fraud.

PayID is an initiative of New Payments Platform and is available to Capricornian members right now.
A ‘PayID’ is a memorable piece of information unique to you, such as your phone number, email address or Australian Business Number (ABN) if you’re a business. You can register your PayID now via online banking, mobile banking or the Cap App.
Something as simple as your mobile number, email address or ABN can be used as your unique PayID.
Can someone take money from your account using PayID?
A PayID cannot be used to take money out of an account. It can only be used to receive payments. If someone wants to pay you, all you need to give them is your PayID and vice versa if you are paying them. When you make a payment to a PayID, you will be shown the name of the person you’re sending the payment too, prior to paying them. There will no longer be the need to memorise your bank account details.

Osko by BPAY® is an innovative payment service, and because it is built on the New Payments Platform, it allows all Australians to make and receive faster, 24/7 payments. Rather than waiting hours or days for a payment from someone who owes you money, and who happens to use a different bank, money can be moved in near real-time with funds available almost immediately.
The service could be used when paying at a group dinner, socialising, or even paying a plumber on the spot. Osko by BPAY® enables payments to one another more conveniently than ever before.
Capricornian members are able to use Osko when making payments. The NPP has sped up and simplified how we all transfer money to one another.
How to make an Osko payment
To make an Osko payment, when on the External Transfer Screen in Online Banking or on the Cap App, select Osko under the Transfer Type section. This will mean the payment will occur in real-time, normally within seconds.
PayTo is an easy way to authorise and control payments from your bank account. PayTo can be used in several ways. A couple of examples are; a digital alternative to direct debit, and allowing you to pay directly from your bank account where you previously needed a card (like for in-app purchases and online shopping).
How does PayTo work?
A business or merchant will set up a ‘PayTo agreement’ with you. This is where you authorise how much, and when, you will pay for goods or services. It could be for a one-off, ad-hoc, or recurring payment.
The PayTo agreement will appear in your Online Banking for your authorisation. Once you have authorised the agreement, the business can debit your account according to the terms that you have agreed.
Is PayTo safe?
PayTo is a safe way to use your bank account for payments because a PayTo agreement must first be authorised within your internet or mobile banking app. This means it is subject to the same level of security as the rest of your banking relationship. Until the agreement has been authorised, a payment cannot be made from your account.
When a PayTo agreement is sent to your internet or mobile banking app for authorisation, you should check the details carefully and make sure it is in line with what you have agreed before authorising it.
Once a PayTo agreement is authorised, the business or merchant can only debit your account in accordance with the payment terms that you have agreed to.
