Your bill will include your unique reference, this will help the biller identify your payment.
PAYER: What receipt you receive
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
You will get a transaction receipt after a successful payment. This is stored in the ‘Receipt’ section of the app. The receipt contains the following:
- Payment amount
- Processing fee
- GST (if applicable)
- Payment date + more
How do I add my bill?
Great question! When it comes to BSB & Account Number payments, we need a copy of the bill. That gives you two simple ways to import (with no manual entry required).
Option 1: Import the bill/invoice from a photo:
Open the Sniip app, tap the blue '+' button in the top right corner and select the second option, 'Import from photo'.
You can opt to take a photo of your bill or import it from your camera roll. If the bill is on your computer, take a photo or it, or use Option 2.
Option 2: Import PDF attachment from your email:
On your phone, open your preferred mail app with the email containing your bill. Open the bill PDF attachment or link, then tap the share icon and select, 'Sniip'. Your bill will then be sent to the 'Bills' section of the Sniip app, within the 'Review' tab. Double check that your bill has successfully imported and doesn't say, 'Failed to process'.
Please ensure your invoice contains the following details in order to upload your bill:
- ABN (Australian Business Number)
- Total bill amount
- Bank Account Details (including BSB and Account Number)
- An 'Invoice' heading
My bill failed on upload, why?
This may be due to a number of reasons, which are listed below with solutions for each.
Missing details:
To successfully upload your non-BPAY bill into the Sniip app, you will need to ensure your invoice contains the following information:
1. The ABN of your biller (we're unable to accept ACN)
2. The BSB & Account Number for payment
3. Your total bill amount
4. The words 'Tax Invoice' or 'Invoice' on your bill
Please confirm your bill contains these four key elements. If your bill contains each of these elements but won't upload to Sniip, please email a copy of your bill to customercare@sniip.com.
Layout issue:
If there is limited (or no spacing) between the wording of 'ABN' and the following numbers, please reach out to your biller to amend this and add more spacing between. After this, you will be able to successfully add your bill into your Sniip app.
Incorrect ABN/ACN:
The ABN on your invoice must have 11 digits. Our systems may have picked up that the ABN displayed on your invoice contains more or less digits that required, and therefore could not be imported onto your Sniip app. Please reach out to your biller to amend this.
Note: We're unable to accept an ACN, please reach out to your bill to have their ABN added to your bill.
Missing heading 'Tax Invoice' on your document:
In addition to the ABN, BSB & Account Number details and total bill amount, please ensure that the wording 'Tax invoice' is visible on the bill as well for a successful import.
Please reach out to your biller to amend this. Once the phrase 'Tax Invoice' is included on your bill, you'll be able to import it to the Sniip app.
My account is now verified, but I can't pay my non-BPAY bill? Is it getting reviewed?
Nice work on verifying your account! And not to worry, this likely means the bill you've added is 'Under Review' (being reviewed by our team). The review process can take up to two business days.
We're currently experiencing a very high volume of biller reviews due to the high uptake of this new feature. Our team are working through this backlog as quickly as possible and you'll receive a push notification when your bill has been approved.
If there's urgency to your bill, please email customercare@sniip.com or phone (07) 3268 7710 and we'll assist you.
Please note: If your bill is displaying the message, 'Blocked Biller', it means that we are unable to facilitate this payment. It likely falls within a restricted/blocked industry.
My bill is approved but I can't pay it? Why?
This is likely one of two reasons:
1) You need to complete User Verification
2) You've submitted your User Verification, but it's currently under review
We aim to review User Verification requests within one (1) business day. If there's an urgency to your review or you have any questions, please email customercare@sniip.com or phone (07) 3268 7710.
Can I pay my home/commercial rent?
Absolutely! If your rental receipt contains all of the following:
- The ABN of your biller (we cannot accept ACN and cannot facilitate private rentals)
- The BSB & Account Number for payment
- The total bill amount
- The words 'Tax Invoice'
You can import/screenshot this and add it to Sniip for payment.
If your rent receipt doesn't contain these details, please email a copy of your lease/rental agreement, along with the BSB and Account Number for payment to customercare@sniip.com.
We'll review your bill, then provide you with a custom PDF bill to upload to Sniip. You can then share this PDF file from your email to your Sniip app, and it will be ready to pay!
My bill failed on upload, why?
This may be due to a number of reasons, which are listed below with solutions attached.
Missing details:
To successfully upload your non-BPAY bill into the Sniip app, you will need to ensure your invoice contains the following information:
1. The full, 11 digit ABN of your biller (we're unable to accept ACN)
2. The BSB & Account Number for payment
3. Your total bill amount
4. The words 'Tax Invoice'
Please confirm your bill contains these four key elements. If your bill contains these key elements but won't upload to Sniip, please email a copy of your bill to customercare@sniip.com.
Layout issue:
If there is limited or no spacing between the wording of 'ABN' and the following numbers, please reach out to your biller to amend this and add more spacing between. After this, you will be able to successfully add your bill into your Sniip app.
Incorrect ABN/ACN:
Our systems may have picked up that the ABN displayed on your invoice contains more digits and therefore could not be imported onto your Sniip app.
Missing heading 'Tax Invoice' on your document:
In addition to the ABN, company name, BSB and Acc No details, please ensure that the wording 'Tax invoice' is visible on the bill as well for a successful import.
Please reach out to your biller to amend this. Once the phrase 'Tax Invoice' is included on your bill, you'll be able to import it to the Sniip app.
My bill contains all the required info, but it still won't upload.
Sorry to hear that you're having trouble uploading your invoice. The information required to upload your invoice successfully includes:
- The full, 11 digit ABN of your biller (we're unable to accept ACN)
- The BSB & Account Number for payment
- Your total bill amount
- The words 'Tax Invoice'
If your bill contains this information and still won't upload, it may be because the ABN included on your invoice is associated with a BPAY Biller. As such, we're required to process this invoice as a BPAY bill.
Please reach out to your biller to ask for your BPAY Reference Number and we can assist you to make the payment.
My account is now verified, but I can't pay my non-BPAY bill?
Nice work on verifying your account! And not to worry, this likely means the bill you've added is 'Under Review' (being reviewed by our team). The review process can take up to two business days.
We're currently experiencing a very high volume of biller reviews due to the high uptake of this new feature. Our team are working through this backlog as quickly as possible and you'll receive a push notification when your bill has been approved.
If there's urgency to your bill, please email customercare@sniip.com or phone (07) 3268 7710 and we'll assist you.
Please note: If your bill is displaying the message, 'Blocked Biller', it means that we are unable to facilitate this payment. It likely falls within a restricted and blocked industry.
My invoice is approved but I can't pay it? Why?
This is likely one of two reasons:
1) You need to complete User Verification
2) You've submitted your User Verification, but it's currently under review
We aim to review User Verification requests within one (1) business day. If there's an urgency to your review or you have any questions, please email customercare@sniip.com or phone (07) 3268 7710.
Why does it say "Biller not currently available (Under Review)"?
Great question! You're likely just the first person to pay that bill! As non-BPAY payments (payments to a billers BSB & Account Number) are a new feature for Sniip, we're required to review every new biller that's added to the Sniip app to ensure it's a permitted industry.
It was the same process when we introduced BPAY payments in 2019, we've just had almost four years of approving payments now, so most billers someone has already paid before.
The good news for non-BPAY payments is, a) we're working as quickly as possible to approve your bill and, b) once your bill is reviewed, it doesn't need to be reviewed again for future payments.
Once our team has reviewed your bill, you'll receive a push notification to let you know that it's ready to pay. If your bill is deemed to fall within an industry that's blocked/restricted, unfortunately we'll be unable to facilitate the payment.
As we are currently experiencing a high volume of invoice submissions, the biller review process can take up to 2 business days. If there's an urgency to your review or you have any questions, please email customercare@sniip.com or phone (07) 3268 7710.
Blocked Billers: Why does it say "Biller not currently available"?
When you upload a bill to the Sniip app, it will let you know whether you are able to pay that specific bill. If you are unable to pay that bill it will either show 'Biller unavailable (under review) or 'Biller not currently available'. We have both restricted and blocked industries that we're unable to enable payments to, these include:
- Travel or holiday accommodation products
- Banking and financial institutions (incl personal car and home loans)
- Hiring and leasing
- Remittance service provider (i.e overseas payments)
- Charities and not-for-profit
- Intermediaries
- Pay-day lenders
- Gaming (incl Internet gambling and casinos)
- Goods dealers and foreign exchange currencies
- Securities and derivatives
- Managed investment schemes
- International business operations
If you receive the alert, 'Biller not currently available' when you add your bill, this bill falls within a blocked/restricted industry. If you believe this has been categorised incorrectly, please send a copy of your invoice to customercare@sniip.com.
I'm paying with my personal American Express and my bill is being charged business rates when it's a personal payment, why?
As part of our contract with American Express, we are required to determine business vs personal based on the purpose of the payment and the type of industry your biller falls under. If your biller is not listed under the Consumer Payment list (below), we are required by American Express to process it at our tiered business rates.
Billers that fall within the following industries will be considered as consumer payments (for American Express payments):
- Telecommunications Services
- Cable and Other Pay Television Services
- Utilities
- Electric, Gas, Water, and Sanitary
- Insurance Sales, Underwriting, and Premiums
- Body Corporate (not including sales)
- Residential Real Estate Agents and Managers (excluding Commercial Rent)
- Parking Lots and Garages
- Dance Halls, Studios, and Schools
- Membership Clubs (Sports, Recreation, Athletic), Country Clubs, and Private Golf Courses
- Doctors and Physicians
- Not Elsewhere Classified
- Hospitals
- Medical Services and Health Practitioners - Not Elsewhere Classified
- Elementary and Secondary Schools
- Colleges, Universities, Professional Schools, and Junior Colleges
- Correspondence Schools
- Business and Secretarial Schools
- Trade and Vocational Schools
- Schools and Educational Services – Not Elsewhere Classified
- Child Care Services
- Court Costs, including Alimony and Child Support
- Fines
- Government Services – Not Elsewhere Classified
If your biller does not fall within these industries, you may be charged the business rate on your personal American Express card.
Additionally, if you pay a biller on the Consumer Payments list with a Business American Express card, you will be charged the business rates.
If you think your bill has been incorrectly categorised, please send a copy of your invoice to customercare@sniip.com to have it reviewed.
Are the fees the same as BPAY payments?
Can I pay to a BSB and Account Number that does not have an ABN? I wish to transfer funds to my friend.
Unfortunately we are unable to facilitate personal bank transfers, as determined by our banking partners. An ABN is one of the four key information pieces required for your invoice to be uploaded successfully onto your Sniip app.
- ABN (Australian Business Number) - we cannot accept ACN
- Total bill amount
- Bank Account Details (including BSB and Account Number)
- A 'Tax Invoice'/'Invoice' heading
Do you offer any Loyalty Programs for businesses?
Yes. If you currently have an active ABN/ACN, you can earn Velocity Points for your business on your payments with Sniip.
Sniip is an official partner of Virgin Australia Business Flyer, allowing you to earn 1 point per $10 on your business payments (or payments that are charged at the business rates).

Open the Sniip app, tap the blue '+' button in the top right corner and select the second option, 'Import from photo'.

1. American Express: 5pm AEST
2. Visa/Mastercard debit: 5pm AEST
3. Visa/Mastercard credit: 11:59pm AEST

How long does it take to review my invoice?
I want to pay to a BSB and Account No, why was BPAY Code and Reference Number selected instead?
If your invoice includes both BPAY details and BSB and account number details, our systems are configured to read the BPAY details from you bill.
As such, you will only be able to pay this biller via the Sniip app to the billers BPAY Biller Code & Reference Number.
I can locate the BSB and Account Number payment option, but how do I verify my account?

What is a BSB & Account Number?
BSB
A BSB number stands for Bank State Branch, and is a six digit number that identifies the bank, state and branch of your bank account.
Bank Identification: The first two digits of the BSB number identify the specific bank or financial institution. Each bank in Australia is assigned a unique two-digit code. For example, Westpac might have the code “03,” while Commonwealth Bank could have “06.”
State Location: The following two digits of the BSB number indicate the state in which the bank branch is located. This is crucial because many banks have branches in multiple states. For instance, the code “12” might refer to a branch in New South Wales, while “24” could point to a branch in Queensland.
Branch Identification: The last two digits of the BSB number distinguish individual branches within the same bank and state. This ensures that the funds are directed to the correct branch, even if multiple branches exist in the same state.
Account number
An account number is a unique number used to identify your bank account.
Uniqueness: Each account within a branch of a bank has a distinct account number. This number ensures that the money is directed to the correct individual or business account.
Varied Length: Account numbers can vary in length and format between different banks. They may consist of digits only or a combination of letters and digits. The length and format of account numbers are determined by the bank’s internal systems.
Security: Account numbers are sensitive and should be kept confidential to prevent unauthorised access to the associated bank account.
When you provide both the BSB and account number for a recipient, you enable the banking system to accurately direct funds to the intended account. It’s essential to double-check these numbers when making transfers to avoid any errors that could lead to misdirected funds.

Paying from a BSB & Account Number
General FAQ
Short answer: Two to three days.
When you make a bank account payment through Sniip, Sniip will move it to the processing stage within two business days. Accordingly, this component of the transaction utilises the BPAY scheme and is subject to the BPAY terms.
The cut-off times for Sniip to receive your payment for processing within two business days is as follows:
- 6pm AEDT/5pm AEST
Please allow sufficient time for your payment to be processed. Generally, funds take roughly 24 hours to finalise and be deposited into the billers account. Therefore, we suggest always paying your bills three days in advance.
Additionally, you can find a time stamped receipt under the ‘History’ in the Sniip app. Here, you’ll see the exact time your payment was made to your biller via BPAY. To clarify, the biller must recognise the BPAY payment as the date that the bill was paid.
Great question! You can update the payment method for any scheduled or recurring payment by going into the ‘Payments’ tab in the Sniip app.
Tap on the payment you want to update, then tap ‘Edit Payment’ and ‘Edit Recurring Payment’ if you’re amending the payment method on a recurring payment.
Tap the ‘Next’ button. Swipe through your Payment Methods to find the correct one and tap ‘Next’. Review the details for this payment, select ‘Confirm’ and then enter your PIN/Face ID.
Please note: You need to repeat this process for each of the scheduled bills you want to update.
You will see this error message if incorrect details have been entered. We’d recommend checking to ensure the details you provided are correct.
If you’re still experiencing this issue, please contact our Sniip Support Squad on (07) 3268 7710 or email customercare@sniip.com.
