Osko

Attention: open in a new window. Print

LCU is excited to provide our members with Osko by BPay. Osko by BPay is a self-service payment system built on the New Payments Platform.

You can make and receive payments faster than ever before, 24/7 via your internet banking or the LCU - Banking App. It’s as fast as cash, without the hassle. Whether you’re paying a tradie, splitting a bill or giving money to family for something urgent - the money will be there in minutes.

Osko has transformed the way we make payments.

You no longer need to worry about BSB and account numbers when receiving or making a payment. You will only need a "PayID" which will normally be a mobile phone number or email address. Business accounts can use either an ABN or Organisation ID. 

Benefits of Osko and PayID:

  • Swift - faster payments 24/7 across most financial institutions - and more are coming on board
  • Simple - You can use a PayID to pay and get paid with something simple like a registered mobile, email, ABN or Organisation ID, or you can still use your BSB & account number.
  • Secure - It is backed by BPAY and us, so it’s very secure. You will also receive confirmation that payments are going to the right place. You are not giving out your account or Visa card details. LCU will have limits and second factor security requirements too.
  • Smart - you will be able to send more information with your payment now. No more trying to abbreviate the reference into mumbo jumbo. You will be able to type 280 characters, almost a short story, that’s more than a tweet and even more characters than this paragraph.

So, are you “ready to go” Osko?

  • You must be registered for MVP internet banking.*
  • Make sure LCU have your current email address and mobile phone number.**
  • Business account holders – don’t worry you can use this payment system too. Just a slightly different process.***

If you have any questions or concerns regarding payments made via NPP enabled products and services please contact LCU on 02 9859 0585 or email us at info@lcu.com.au
