Slowest bill payment method ever
The technology that they have in place today is slower than a snail. How on earth a transaction takes over 72 hours is beyond my thinking capabilities. Seriously, have a good look at your business before someone else comes in and wiped you out of the market

Ridiculously slow and primitive
2, 3, 4 and more days for money that is debited from my account IMMEDIATELY to reach the intended account?
This is archaic.
Oh, and of course it is BUSINESS days we are talking about. Business days to COMPLETE the transaction mind you. Not business days to take the money from YOUR account.
Try to book an airline ticket on a Friday evening before a long weekend? Money goes immediately. Money does not reach the airline 5 or more days later.
You'd be lucky if your confirmed reservation isn't cancelled by the airline. Then try to get your money back from THEM! That can take weeks...

Slowest payment method in the world.
Why do you take 3 days. There is no possible rationalisation. You are holding onto the money for your own benefit. Archaic service. Do everything to avoid. Slow slow slow.

So very slow
Doesn't matter if you make payment first thing in the morning, still takes 2, 3 or even 4 days for payments to make it to their destination. Utterly ridiculous in this day and age.

BPay View has been removed from all of my billing, cannot retrieve invoices
I have given up on BPay View.
It previously worked fine with biller invoices available to download, but for many months now I cannot retrieve online invoices. The big catch is if you elect to receive bills via BPay View, the billing entity usually then refuses to send automated email notifications and invoices (let alone paper bills). The only option to receive your account is then to phone and request in person negating the benefits of paperless billing.
BPay View has been removed from all of my billing as it is unworkable.
Selecting "See This Bill" returns:
"This site can’t be reached
billsonline.hpa.com.au took too long to respond"
NB: Manually paying via BPay from internet banking works perfectly, although not an instant transfer....
Read moreNo doubt this is their business model as holding payments back gives them a massive cash reserve to invest in the short term markets just like the old cheque clearance houses. Edit: I have discovered the issue for me is in the Telstra Cable data connection, switching to tethered mobile data allows downloading of provider invoices.TBICanberra 2600, ACT
The worst service. Never timely
I transferred rent each week to my landlord via BPay- always takes over minimum one full week.
If you use this service ensure you keep your receipts and track all your payments.

Slowest payment method in the world, avoid
It’s 2020, it’s still taking half of a week to transfer funds! You slow down the business in this country Bpay! Avoid this payment method it’s a waste of life

Slow to Pay
No better than a bank transfer. Took 3 days to complete a transaction despite BPays claims of one day transfer if paid before cob. I could not recommende BPay as a faster way to pay.

Missing Bpay
I made a Bpay payment for a cruise & my bank said it went thru the next day to the cruise company. I contacted the cruise company & they say they have not received it & they would look into it. I thought by have a biller code & an account number that my payment was safe.
When BPAY View Goes wrong, no-one wants to help
From (2 different but associated banks) my online transaction account, I can see the BPAY View list of current and paid bills. Today, if I click to view a bill, I am redirected to https://billsonline.hpa.com.au/bpaydoc/bpaydoc which times out with a "ERR_CONNECTION_RESET".
Tried 3 different computers, 3 different browsers, and 2 different networks.
My bank told me to talk to BPAY.. BPAY doesn't not have a contact number but an online form that says they will forward to my bank.
When it works, it works 100%. When you need support, you are sent on the run-around. True service excellence is in the way you deal with the issues, NOT that you can provide a flashy thing!

Slower than can be
Get with the times, no wonder crypto currency is so attractive, when banks can't even make a bpay payment over a public holiday or weekend.
What a joke, and primitive service.

Slowest and worst finacial service in todays world
It took four days to transfer money while i was paying interest on my credit card. This company is bound to doomed if they don't change the speed of transaction.
Takes way to long for the funds to arrive
I use bpay every month to pay the exact same biller and it still takes so long to transfer! Bank transfers are generally next day (including weekends), why does bpay take 3-4 business days!!! I would not use them if I did HAVE to.

What year is it !
Seriously the slowness of this service, I can only imagine they are making money on the transient interest. Its 2019 BPAY, improve your systems or you will be unseated by an alternative !

BPay View reminds me the early 2000s
This review refers to the Bpay View interface, which is exceedingly slow and poorly designed. Frequently times out. Many little annoyances, such as listing bills from oldest to newest, rather than the way every other banking interface works with the latest transactions at the top of the list.
No longer suitable for a professional day-to-day banking application - should have been updated yonks ago.

Robot customer service
No customer service just "contact your financial institution", even though the BPAY made the payment. There is no email to contact.

Non-existent customer service.
Bpay sent me two identical bills. I confirmed from the biller that they only billed me once, and I confirmed with my bank that the duplicate bills happened independently of them.
I tried to contact Bpay
1. No number to call
2. Had to fill in a form along with a text only inquiry, and inputting your financial institution was a required detail before you could submit the inquiry....
3. only to find they redirected my inquiry back to my bank - which I already contacted and they (bank) insisted they had nothing to do with the double billing...

Too slow for 2018
Sure, in the 90's a 3 day wait was expected when processing payments. 20 years have passed and it still takes this long. What nonsense!
Australia is lucky to have BPAY
So much easier to pay a bill in Australia than back home. Safe in my Bank and I don’t have to have a credit card or let a person I don’t know have my bank account details. Easy to use. The bill is paid on the day I make the payment. Better than worrying about keeping money in my account in case a payment is taken out!
