With Sniip, you can:

• Pay Australian bills from overseas without an international bank transfer.
• Upload a bill. Take a photo, upload a PDF or image, or share it from your email.
• Store, manage and schedule your bills in one place.
• Pay securely without re-entering your details each time.
• Pay no monthly fee.

The first time you pay a biller we haven’t paid before, we review the details before the payment goes through. This usually takes up to 2 business days. After that, you’re set for next time and future payments go through without the wait.
