A confirmation message will appear on the mobile app screen when you complete setting up your PayID. Heritage will create your PayID immediately on your account, however there may be a minor delay for the NPP addressing service to update.

Transferring money to a PayID is very similar to a normal transfer in the Heritage Mobile Banking App. Before you begin, check that the person you’re paying has an active PayID and confirm what it is. It could be their phone number, email address, business number or organisation ID.
