BPAY Receipt

About the BPAY Receipt

BPAY is an Australian bill payment system that lets consumers pay bills electronically through their bank. A BPAY receipt confirms a payment made to a biller using a Biller Code and Customer Reference Number (CRN). People recreate or save BPAY receipts to document utility, insurance, or government payments, especially when the original bank confirmation is lost or needed for reimbursement, tax records, or dispute resolution.

BPAY in Numbers

BPAY was launched in 1997 by a consortium of Australian banks and is now owned by BPAY Group, headquartered in Sydney. It processes billions of transactions annually across thousands of registered billers, covering utilities, telcos, insurance providers, and government agencies. Nearly every major Australian bank and credit union supports BPAY payments through internet and phone banking.

What Is On a BPAY Receipt

Using a BPAY Receipt

• Keep your bank-issued receipt number as proof of payment — billers use it to trace and confirm funds received.
• If a biller claims non-receipt, provide the Biller Code, CRN, payment date, and receipt number to your bank to initiate a trace.
• BPAY payments are generally processed within one to two business days; the receipt date is not always the date the biller applies the payment.
• For tax or reimbursement purposes, a BPAY receipt showing the biller name, CRN, amount, and date is typically accepted as a valid payment record.
