Contacts in Internet Banking
Contacts allows you to save the payment details of people and businesses you pay to use again in future.
Adding contacts
To add a contact:
- Select the Contacts tile
- Select the + icon at the top right corner of the screen
- Select the type of contact you want to add
- Follow the prompts
You can also add a contact when making a payment. Select New Payee when making a payment to a new Pay Anyone contact, or New BPAY Biller for a BPAY® payment.
To add a new Pay Anyone contact using a PayID, you need to make an initial payment to that PayID.
Searching contacts
You can use the search bar on the Contacts screen to search for the name of a contact. You can also use the tabs on the Contacts screen to filter the list by type.
For example, if you want to search for your Telstra BPAY contact, you could:
- Select the Contacts tile
- Select the BPAY tab
- Type T in the search bar to filter by billers starting with T
Remember to look for names you may have changed. For example, you may have renamed Foxtel to Pay TV or Cable.
Sharing contacts
Internet Banking allows you to download contacts for your own use and to share with other Internet Banking users. Contacts are downloaded in CSV file format.
Please note:
- This feature is only available when using Internet Banking on a web browser
- BPAY® billers with editable CRNs cannot be downloaded
- Only contacts files downloaded from Internet Banking that have not been modified can be uploaded. This restriction is in place to ensure files have not been tampered with

Inactive contacts
An inactive contact is a contact that you have not paid in the last 13 months.
When you make a BPAY® or Pay Anyone payment, inactive contacts are not displayed. This helps reduce the number of options when making payments to those you are most likely to use.

To view deleted contacts:
- Select the Contacts tile

Grey icons
If you are a non-titled member to an account, all the contact icons associated with the account will be coloured grey.
