BPAY Soaring to New Heights

Reaching record high payments in one day!

Think you can achieve a lot in 24 hours? We can too. March 2 was a very busy day in the life of BPAY - one for the record books in fact.

We processed a massive $2,276,495,997 worth of payments and a staggering 1,680,633 bills. It's a sign of our rapid rate of growth given that on the same day five years ago the value of payments processed was just $974,343,363.

So what could you do with $2,276,495,997?

Let's take a look...

  • buy yourself 45 new private jets, at a cost of $50 million each
  • rent the world's most expensive island (reportedly in the Maldives) for 40 years
  • build the Eiffel Tower some 70 times over
  • 55,000,000 visits to Taronga Zoo (that's a lot of Koala spotting!).

It's also equivalent to almost one sixth of the total value of lost super funds in Australia.

Our record day proves that the sky's the limit for BPAY.
