BPAY

Using your DEFT Reference Number (and the DEFT biller code found on your DEFT card), you also have the option to pay your rent via BPAY using your own internet banking account. As with any BPAY payment, you can do this at anytime and can also set up automatic recurring payments.

BPAY is a great option for people who don’t want to be slapped with fees when paying your rent. You won’t be charged a fee to use BPAY through your existing bank.

direct bank transfer

If you’d prefer to take care of your rent via direct bank transfer using your own online banking, you can! For smooth processing, there are a couple of things to remember when paying your rent this way:

Triple check the bank account details you’ve entered. If you’ve entered the wrong details, it can be extremely difficult trying to get this money back from your bank and you’ll be out of pocket while it’s being sorted out.
Include a reference. If we receive a payment into our trust account with no reference, we have no way of knowing where it has come from and this delays your rent being receipted. Make sure to include a reference such as your property number and street name to speed things up.

You’ll be able to find our trust account details on your lease agreement.
