We always recommend paying your bill at least 2–3 business days before the due date to allow for standard processing times and the biller to reconcile your payment.
Here’s how it works: when you make a payment through Sniip, it’s a two-legged transaction, (1) payment into the Sniip trust account and (2) as soon as the funds land, payment on to your end biller.
The cut-off times for Sniip to receive your payment for processing the following business day are as follows:
– American Express (personal/ business): 5pm AEST
– Visa/Mastercard debit: 5pm AEST
– Visa/Mastercard credit: 5pm AEST
– Bank account: 5pm AEST for 2-business day processing (payments from a Bank Account require one additional business day processing time)
Note: Funds may take roughly 24 hours to finalise and be deposited into the biller’s account after leaving Sniip, so giving yourself that 2 -3 day buffer is the way to go.
Please note: any payments made after 5pm AEST Thursday will be processed when the funds are received on Monday (or the next business day in the case of a public holiday).
You can find a date-stamped receipt under the ‘Receipts’ tab in the Sniip app as confirmation of your payment.
