Fast Five FAQ: Our most frequently asked questions
I heard that I can pay my rent with my credit card using Sniip to earn points? How do I do this?
Great question! If your rent has a BPAY Biller Code and Reference Number* or DEFT** you can pay it using Sniip. Plus, you’ll earn the full points rate on your credit card!
*Unfortunately we don’t facilitate payments to a BSB and Account Number right now. Your bill must have a BPAY Biller Code and Reference Number, or Sniip QR code to be paid using Sniip.
**Sniip is unable to facilitate DEFT payments with an American Express card.
