Why can’t I access all my wage?
MyPayNow is designed to provide you with access to a portion of your wage so you can handle unexpected expenses, whilst
still remaining within your means for repayment.
What is the minimum amount I need to earn before I can apply to MyPayNow?
The minimum income from employment required to use MyPayNow is $450 take home per week,
$900 per fortnight, or $1,950 per month.
How do you determine my advance limit?
Your advance limit is determined as a quarter of your net pay, up to a maximum of $2,000!
Why can’t I get more than my approved limit?
Your approval limit is based on your identified income. If you receive a pay rise
and would
like access to more funds - simply update your employment details for us to reassess.
Can I get an advance when my only income is Centrelink?
Unfortunately, not. MyPayNow is a wage advance service, meaning you will need to be receiving regular income
from an
employer.
How do I pay back my wage advance?
A direct debit is automatically scheduled to come out of your nominated bank account on your scheduled repayment date.
Alternatively, you can make a debit card payment.
What time do direct debits come out of my bank?
Our direct debits are processed by a third party, meaning they can be attempted at any point during the day.
How long does it take to set up an account?
It takes about 5 minutes to set up your MyPayNow account and be assessed for an advance. Once approved and funds are
requested, we send your funds in seconds.
What do I need to set up my account?
You will need:
- Your mobile phone number
- Your email address
- A valid form of Australian ID (e.g. an open driver’s licence, Medicare card or passport)
- The date and amount of your last wage deposit
- Your internet banking details
- The bank account where your salary is deposited into. This account must have 70 days’ worth of bank transactions.
Does MyPayNow do a credit check?
No, there is no credit enquiry made on your file with a Credit Reporting Agency.
Does MyPayNow contact my employer?
Nope! We only deal with you, never your employer.
