High Tech: What happens when you turn on auto-import

This is the ultimate way to streamline your bill payments

We weren’t lying when we said we wanted to take bill management to the next level!

We’re extremely proud of our Auto-Bill Import feature, which automatically imports your bills from your inbox into the Sniip app, allowing you to receive and pay your bills in seconds. We’ll even send you a notification when a new bill has landed in your account! This way, you can manage all your bills in one place and pay or schedule them with just a few clicks.

P.s. If there’s one thing we’d recommend to you, it’s getting this feature set up in your Sniip account ASAP in preparation for our exciting launch of our ‘Pay to BSB and Account Number’ capability (coming soon)! Let us help you to make sure you never miss a bill payment again.

Here’s how you do it:

Log into Sniip and select the menu bar on the top left of your screen.

Tap ‘Import from email’ and select ‘Connect Google’, ‘Connect Microsoft Exchange’ or ‘Connect Microsoft Outlook’.

Enter the email address you’d like your bills imported from and authorise.

Click ‘continue’ and follow the prompts to connect your email address!

All done! You’ll receive a ‘push’ notification on your mobile when your bill lands in the Sniip app and is ready for payment.

TOP TIP: This feature is currently only available for Gmail and Microsoft accounts (with more accounts coming soon). If you use a work or business account and have a custom email domain, ask your technical team if it’s hosted by Gmail. If the answer is yes, you’ll be able to use the feature.

If you have any questions at all, email our friendly team at customercare@sniip.com or call (07) 3268 7710. We’re here for you!

Click here for all the supported Microsoft accounts for email auto-import.

Please note: If your bill does not arrive with your email as a PDF attachment, you will need to download your bill first and share it to the Sniip app, as we need the attachment to create a successful auto-bill import. Don’t worry though, adding your bill to the Sniip app is easy! We’ve put together a page guiding you through how to do this, here.

New Q&A: Your Most Common Questions Answered

I added my bill and it says, ‘Under Review’, why?

It’s likely you’re simply the first person to pay this biller with Sniip. Every BPAY biller is reviewed before it’s approved to ensure the biller falls within a permitted industry.

Our team will get an alert that you’ve attempted to add this bill and where possible, will review and approve it right away. Assuming it gets the “all clear”, you will then receive a push notification and an email, confirming that it’s ready to be paid.

From time to time, we might reach out to you and ask for a copy of the invoice. To expedite this process, please send your invoice through customercare@sniip.com, then phone (07) 3268 7710.

We are prohibited from facilitating payments to the following industries:

Remittance service providers
Charities and not-for-profit
Intermediaries
Pay-day lenders
Internet gambling
Casinos
Goods dealers/retailers
Foreign exchange currencies
Securities and derivatives
Managed investment schemes
International business operations
International students or travel products
Hiring and leasing
Payments/banking and financial institutions

Why have I been requested to verify my identification and payment method?

Short answer, for the protection of your account and that of all of our users.

There’s certain instances where verification will be required based on our automated fraud control protocols. This may include transacting while overseas, not having your legal name on your account, adding payment methods different to your legal name, adding multiple blocked billers, or creating multiple Sniip accounts.

At Sniip, the security of your account is our top priority. We are a regulated Bill Payment Service Provider (BPSP) and an authorised BPAY Payer Institution Member (PIM). We adhere to Payment Card Industry, Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) Tier 1, the same level as the major banks.

Our compliance team works through user verification as quickly as possible – usually within 24-48 hours. If you require this process to be expedited, please contact customercare@sniip.com or call (07) 3268 7710.

Where do I view my credit card reward points?

If you have used a rewards credit card to pay bills in Sniip, rest assured that you are eligible to earn full points on your payments! Your reward points balance does not appear in the Sniip app as your credit card issuer provides these points.

To find out how to view your reward points balance, check out the links below:

Can I pay the ATO in partial payments?

Absolutely! With Sniip, we don’t restrict how you pay. The ATO accepts partial payments, so you’re good to go.

There are however some billers who don’t accept partial payments. For example, infringement notices, car registration and licence renewal fees. If you’re ever unsure, just add the bill to the Sniip app and we’ll give you an alert to let you know.

Partial payments not accepted

Partial payments accepted

New Feature Alert: Drag & Drop Your Bill

Blog Post

New Feature Alert: Drag & Drop!

Introducing a brand new feature for Sniip – drag and drop!

You can now import your bills easily from your ‘Files’ or ‘Photos’ app by simply dragging and dropping your bill into Sniip, just like you would on your computer. This feature is perfect for individuals and businesses who want to streamline bill payment processes.

If you can’t tell already, we’re pretty big on saving our user’s time and energy when it comes to paying bills. So, say goodbye to the hassle of manual bill entry and hello to more time for the things that matter!

Note: To utilise this feature, ensure you’re running the latest version of the Sniip app (version 23.1.0 or later).

How to use Drag & Drop

It’s super simple to import a bill using drag and drop.

Simply navigate to where you have saved your bill (either a screenshot in your Photo Library, or a PDF in your Files), and tap and hold the bill.

From here, you can exit out of the app (while still holding down on the bill), and move it into your Sniip app.

Just make sure your photo or PDF clearly shows the bill details including the ABN, BPAY Biller Code and Reference Number!

Make sure you wait until you see the green plus sign ‘+’ appear next to your bill, that’s when you’ll know the bill has been successfully added into your Sniip account.

Fast Five FAQ: Our most commonly asked questions

I saw you’re offering Velocity Points through Virgin Australia Business Flyer. What membership number do I use to link my account to Sniip?

Great question! Your Virgin Australia Business Flyer membership number is your ABN/ACN.

To add your Virgin Australia Business Flyer number to Sniip, do the following:

Login to the Sniip app
Tap the menu bar in the top left corner and select, ‘Loyalty’, then ‘Add membership’
Select ‘Virgin Australia Business Flyer’ from the available options
Enter in the ABN/ACN associated with your Virgin Australia Business Flyer account in the ‘Membership number’ field

If entering this number does not work, please contact businessflyer@virginaustralia.com.

Is there a way I can send my bills directly to Sniip?

Absolutely! We’re really proud of this feature, it’s called, ‘Import from Email’. Simply connect your Gmail or Microsoft email account to Sniip, we’ll automatically add the bill to your Sniip app when it arrives in your inbox and send you a handy push notification when it’s ready for payment.

Here’s how to connect, ‘Import from Email’:

Tap the menu bar in the top left corner and select, ‘Import from Email’
Connect your email (we support these emails)
Done! We’ll import your bill directly into the Sniip app when it arrives in your inbox.

What type of bills can I pay with Sniip?

You can pay personal and business bills with Sniip. If your bill is one of the 60,000+ billers with a BPAY Biller Code and Reference Number, chances are you can pay it with Sniip!

Here’s some of the top bills paid using Sniip:

ATO, payroll tax
DEFT
School feels (incl higher education) and childcare
Superannuation
Rent, rates and body corporate (STRATA)
Energy and water providers
Phone and internet providers
Insurance (health, car home and contents)
Energy, gas and water
Vehicle registration, fines and vehicle club membership fees (e.g. RACQ, RACV)
Accounting services

When does Sniip process my bill payment? How long does it take? I’ve left it a bit late and I’m worried it won’t be paid on time.

It takes approximately 24 to 48 hours for Sniip to receive your funds. We process your bill payment as soon as we receive your funds.

The cut-off times for payments to be made the next business day are:

11.59pm AEDT Visa/Mastercard
6pm AEDT Amex
6pm AEDT Diners (+ 1 extra business day)
6pm AEDT Bank Accounts (+ 1 extra business day)

Payments made after this cut-off will not be processed on the next business day – they will be processed the following business day.

As the funds take roughly 24 hours to finalise and be deposited into the billers account, we suggest always paying your bill two (2) days in advance. The biller must recognise the BPAY payment as the date that the bill was paid. You may refer to the time-stamped Sniip receipt under the “Receipt” tab in the app for record/reconciliation purposes.

Can I pay to a BSB and Account Number (bank account) using Sniip?

This is a hot question and we’re working on it right now. Pay to a BSB and Account Number will be launched in 2023.

As a subscriber to Sniip, you’ll be the first to know when the feature launches.

5 New Years Resolutions For 2023

Blog Post

5 Money Saving Resolutions

As we bid farewell to another year and look ahead to the possibilities of the new one, it’s natural to think about the changes we want to make in our lives. Making New Year’s resolutions is a time-honored tradition, and it’s a great opportunity to set financial goals and work towards personal growth.

If you’re looking for some inspiration for your 2023 New Year’s resolutions, here are five ideas to consider!

1. Start a Christmas Club account

We know! We’re barely three days out from Christmas and no-one is thinking about Christmas 2023. But hear us out. If you put away, even $10 a week from January, you’ll have $520 ready to reduce the sting of the silly season.

Plus, with an increased return on savings/ term deposits due to an increasing interest rate environment you could earn more on your savings come December 2023.

2. Bring back the piggy bank

If you’re not ready to take on the administration of setting up a sub-account, why not go old school and bring back the piggy bank.

Resolving to pop all your spare coins from the bottom of your handbag or the floor of your car into a piggy bank/jar/bucket or whatever you have at hand can add up quickly 365 days later.

Start stashing the shrapnel now and thank yourself later!

3. Prep & buy in bulk

We get it. The busy-ness of life often makes tapping on an app to order a meal to your home seem reasonable and convenient. But as we all know, convenience comes at a cost! This year, Canstar Blue found that Aussies are spending up to $47 each week on food delivery. That’s $2,444 each year!

It’s a lot of money, right!? So, why not give meal prepping a try in 2023 and enjoy all of its delicious benefits? You’ll be “prepping” your taste buds for a treat!

And for the person who writes the lists, we haven’t forgotten about your struggle! No matter how carefully you plan, you often get distracted by the kids/a work call or your own lack of sleep and end up forgetting something crucial, like milk or bread. But don’t worry, fellow shoppers: we’ve all been there.

To make life easier for you, we’ve found a template, so you can plan your meals and ingredients. Check out some different layouts here to find which works best for you!

4. Tap the brakes on buying new things

We get it, it’s easy to get caught up in the moment and convince yourself that “I deserve this!” But while new clothes might make you feel good at first, they’ll sting your savings over time!

So, if you want to save money in 2023, you can find some amazing deals on clothing, shoes and accessories at your local op-shop. Or, maybe try Facebook Marketplace for a pre-loved bargain? You might even be able to find vintage pieces that are hard to find anywhere else!

If this sounds like you and you’re looking for inspiration/a community to share in your savings, check out the #buynothingnew hashtag on Instagram or your chosen social media platform.

5. Sign up for auto email import

If there’s one top tip we’d recommend to anyone looking to never miss a bill again, it’s to have your bills directly added to the Sniip app when they arrive in your email inbox.

We’ll send you a handy push notification when they arrive and it will be there imported and ready for payment.

Getting your bills sorted in 2023 is a great way to avoid incurring late fees and making the most of any early payment discounts your biller may offer.
