Fast Five: Our most commonly asked questions this week July 2021

Blog Post

Our most frequently asked questions in July 2021

1. How will I know when the payment is received by the biller?

The bill is paid to your biller via BPAY the same day we receive the funds (generally the next business day).

The biller has to recognise the date of payment being the day it was paid via BPAY.

This is shown on the confirm screen before you submit the payment and you can also see this in the History section of your Sniip app.

2. I pay my rent via BSB and account number. Can your app be used to pay that or is it BPAY only?

Unfortunately we currently don’t offer payments to BSB and account numbers. We’re currently working on a solution and we’ll keep you posted!

3. How many points can I earn by paying ATO with my credit card? Would paying via Sniip offer a higher reward point earning?

We’re pleased to confirm you earn your full amount of loyalty points when paying with Sniip, irrespective of the card.

4. Why can’t I pay DEFT with my AMEX via Sniip?

We are currently working on this with AMEX. It’s a regulatory issue and we believe it can be overcome.

There are lots of customers who want to pay DEFT bills and we are just as keen to allow them.

We’ll keep you posted on our progress but hopefully not far away now!

5. With the $10 referral offer that I received. Does it expire? I don’t have to pay bills for a little while and want to make sure I don’t miss out.

Currently we don’t have an expiration date on referral codes, but we are planning to add one in the next few months. But you will be good for at least a few months.

1. Can I pay with my credit card without using Apple Pay?

You sure can! You can manually add or scan your credit/debit cards. To do this, select the “Wallet” tab at the bottom of the Sniip app, then select the small “+” icon in the top right corner of the screen. You can then add your card details.

When making a bill payment, Apple Pay is the default payment method. To select an alternate payment method, simply swipe right on the Apple Pay logo to select your preferred option.

2. Why was my Amex card charged $1 before paying a bill?

When you add a credit card to the Sniip app, we make a $1 authorisation charge to the card. This dollar will be refunded back to you as soon as possible.

3. Will I earn points when using other credit cards that are not Amex?

Great question! You are still eligible to gain points using any credit card attached to a loyalty program. When using one of these cards, you will gain full points when using the Sniip app to pay your bills.

4. Can I make partial payments to billers that only accept full payments?

In the Sniip app, we allow users to set-up instalment plans (using their own money) to pay off their bills. Unfortunately, certain billers require you to pay the full amount in one transaction. Examples of payments that cannot be paid in installments include, car registration, fines and licence renewal fees.

5. Why can’t I make a payment to another credit card or debt facility using a different credit card?

Unfortunately, there are restrictions in place for payments to certain billers using credit cards, as determined by BPAY and our banking partners. This includes not being able to pay credit facilities with a credit card. If you wish to use a debit card to pay this biller, Sniip may be able to facilitate this transaction, depending on the bill you are paying.

Our most frequently asked questions in April 2021

1. My BPAY Biller Code isn’t accepted, what can I do?

Great question! If you’re the first person to make payment to a specific biller in the Sniip app, you’ll receive a pop-up that says “Biller is not available”.

Please contact us via customercare@sniip.com or call (07) 3268 7710. We will review the bill you’re attempting to pay and where possible, add the biller to our system.

Sniip has restrictions on some billers. These include:

Remittance service provider
Charities & non-for-profits
Intermediaries
Payday lenders
Internet gambling
Casinos
Goods dealers
Foreign exchange currencies
Securities and derivatives
Managed investment schemes
International business operations
International students or travel products
Hiring and leasing
Banking and financial institutions

If you believe you should be able to pay any of these billers, please contact Sniip and we will evaluate your biller on a case by case basis.

2. Can I pay a bill with BSB and account number?

Yes! On April1, 2022 we allowed you to connect your bank account to the Sniip app with a BSB and account number. This means you can pay a bill with a BSB and account number. Please note that you must successfully verify your Sniip account to be able to make payments from your bank account in the Sniip app.

There is no processing fee for paying a bill with BSB and account number, it is completely FREE.

3. What’s the cost to use the Sniip app?

Sniip is a free app that allows customers too easily make bill payments from their phones or tablets!. There are no subscription fees, service fees or other hidden costs.

Debit cards are completely free to use in the app. Visa, Mastercard and Amex credit cards incur a 1.5% (incl GST) processing fee, however you receive full points on your bills (including the ATO). This is the lowest possible surcharge you can pay when making a bill payment using a credit card.

4. Can I set up a recurring payment for my bills?

Absolutely! To create a recurring payment, follow these simple steps:

1. Import your bill to the Sniip app using your chosen import method

2. Tap on the bill you’d like to pay from the home menu

3. Tap ‘schedule’ from the bottom right of the screen

4. Select ‘create recurring payment’

5. Choose the amount you’d like to pay and the frequency you’d like to pay it. Then choose the end date, or select no end date. Done!

5. How do instalments work? Is it Buy Now, Pay Later?

Sniip provides users with the flexibility to pay their bills in instalments before the bill is due. Currently, we do not offer a ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ option in the Sniip app.

To create an instalment payment, follow these simple steps:

Import your bill to the Sniip app using your preferred import method
Tap on the bill you wish to pay and select “Schedule”
Select “Create Instalment Plan”
Input the bill due date and the number of instalments you wish to pay.
An instalment schedule will be populated for you to ensure you’ve got the right amount of money to pay your bill when it’s due.

Please note: To allow for adequate processing time and ensure your bill is paid on time, the money will be debited from your account three days before the bill due date.

If you have any questions, please email customercare@sniip.com or call (07) 3268 7710.

New Feature Alert: Recurring payments

You asked, we answered!

In the Sniip app, you can now set and forget all the recurring payments/subscriptions in your life. We’re talking rent, phone bills, internet, gym subscriptions, health insurance, lessons and tutoring, you name it! If it’s got a BPAY Biller Code, you can make it a recurring payment with Sniip.

Here’s how it works:

Tap on the bill you’d like to pay from the home screen, (or add your bill to the Sniip app by scanning, manually importing or auto importing).

Tap ‘Schedule’ from the bottom right of the screen.

Choose the amount you’d like to pay and how often you would like the payments to be made (weekly, fortnightly).

Choose the end date, or select no end date.

Click confirm.

Done!

New Feature Alert: Nicknames and Enables

New Feature Alert: Nicknames and reminders

Everybody hold on, we’re back today with two new features! We have introduced bill nicknames and enables to keep making your bill payments easy!

1. Bill nicknames for emails

Gone are the days of searching the reference number to work out which bill is which. You can now distinguish bills from the same biller by adding a biller nickname.

Simply add the bill to the Sniip app, and tap on the biller name for example, ‘Sunshine Coast Council’.

Next, add your bill description, for example, ‘My house’ or, ‘1 Example St, Brisbane’.

Now, you’ll see a handy nickname below the biller name to differentiate which bill is which when we email you reminders, schedule payment confirmations, receipts, etc.

You’ll see the nickname in the subject line so it’s all easy breezy to navigate.

2. New biller alerts

Ever added a bill to the Sniip app that wasn’t enabled? No worries! From time-to-time we’ll need to enable payment for certain billers.

You’ll now receive one simple push notification and email to let you know when your biller is enabled. You can then pop into the Sniip app and pay your now bill with ease. Simple!

If there’s a feature you’d like to see in the Sniip app? No worries! Let us know at customercare@sniip.com, we’d love to hear from you.

Six tips for a financially savvy Easter

Blog Post

Six tips for a financially savvy Easter

1. Make a checklist

Let’s be honest, the cost of buying Easter eggs can add up quickly.

Then, add into the mix the fact that the entire event often creeps up on even the best of us. Next minute, it’s 9pm the night before and you’re at the fuel station paying $20 for the Easter dregs that will be 80% off tomorrow. We feel you friend, we feel you!

That’s why we’re going to suggest making a list and checking it twice (even though it’s Easter and not Christmas!). Write out everyone you need to buy for and what you’re going to buy them. Then, carve out the time in your diary to hit up the shops quickly and cross it off the list – here’s a handy printable checklist from Mrs Organised. That way you (hopefully) won’t get caught out and miss anyone!

2. Consider Easter egg alternatives

Bake some Easter treats at home!
Whip up a batch of hot cross buns, check out this recipe or this vegan/ gluten free one here
Short for time? Try these simple chocolate crackles with an easy Easter twist
Want to skip the public holiday surcharges? Make Easter breakfast at home with these fun bunny pancakes
Skip the individual gifts and take this choc-orange hot cross bun cheesecake to your friends/ family house
Wow the crowds at your Easter do with this easier-than-it-looks hot cross bun trifle

3. Low-cost ideas to entertain the kids this long weekend

From foam cups to jelly beans, pasta and rocks – we’ve all got one of the items on this list and that’s a quick, cheap craft activity sorted for the kids (or your inner-child) this Easter.

4. Set the ‘Out of Office’ and put your bills on autopilot

Unless you’re working over the Easter break, you’ll likely be turning on the Out of Office and checking out from more than your email responsibilities.

Can we suggest grabbing that pile of bills on your countertop/fridge now, scanning them all into the Sniip app (or importing them from your email). You can quickly and easily schedule, create an instalment plan or set yourself a reminder to pay the bill later.

That way, you’ll encounter no nasty surprises or overdue bills when you check back into reality post Easter.

5. Secure your home

On the note of bills, that home and contents insurance coverage isn’t going to get you much mileage if you don’t secure your home.

Opportunistic thieves love a long weekend as much as we do. A quick double-check of the doors and windows before you head away for the long weekend might save you a lot more money than your time cost you to check this Easter.

Even if you’re in the backyard, you might just quickly double back and lock the front door. Or maybe it’s that you ensure your car keys aren’t securely stored in your car’s ignition. You know, all that good stuff!

6. Organise your Easter get-together for the week later

We couldn’t wrap this up without including this super-savvy Easter savings tip for you.

Much like Christmas, all things Easter will be less than half the price in the days that follow the event. If it’s a family/ friends gathering and you know you’ll be doing an Easter exchange, see if you can’t move it to the week following Easter.

The chocolates will be cheaper, the parks, restaurants, cafes and accommodation less busy and the memories and time spent together will likely be just as meaningful.

Happy Easter from the team here at Sniip!
