It’s easy to avoid the fee by setting up eBilling and having your bill delivered to your preferred email address.
The best way to avoid these fees is by setting up direct debit from a credit card or bank account, payment via cheque or BPAY from a bank account.
You can set up both eBilling and direct debit on your account by using your account number and postcode to register for My Account, your online, self-service portal. Log in 24/7 at My Account. You can also call our friendly team if you have any questions.

Yes, you can go to My Account and change your bill preferences at any time or call us to make the change. Charges may apply to this billing option.
This can be managed 24/7, online with My Account. Alternatively you can call us and we’ll update it for you.
In the unlikely event that we direct debit the incorrect amount, we'll refund the payment back into your bank account or credit card.
If you’re concerned you may not have adequate funds in your savings account each month, you can set up a direct debit from a MasterCard®, Visa or American Express® credit card. There is no fee to arrange a direct debit from a credit card, however if you use a credit card to manually pay your bill, fees may apply.
There is no charge to make a payment via Electronic funds transfer (EFT) or via BPAY from a cheque or savings account.
