  • Save on unnecessary FX conversion fees. Convert or hold funds in multiple balances and reduce the impact of currency fluctuations.

  • Hold multi-currency balances and settle directly to Australian beneficiaries in AUD instantly, via local payment rails.

Understanding Australian payment methods

PayID, Osko and NPP are often confused. They work together, but each sits at a different layer of Australia's real-time payments stack.

Infrastructure
NPP

New Payments Platform — the core infrastructure layer enabling fast account-to-account payments across Australia, 24/7.

Service
Osko

A payment service built on top of the NPP, enabling near-instant bank-to-bank transfers between participating institutions.

Identifier
PayID

An addressable payment identifier — a phone number, email or ABN — linked to a bank account and used to receive Osko (NPP) payments.

Think of NPP as the road network, Osko as the fast lane, and PayID as your street address.

Does Flash Connect support bulk international payments?

Yes, Flash Connect provides a Bulk CSV Withdrawals feature that enables institutional clients to create and manage multiple payouts simultaneously. You can upload a CSV file containing details for up to 10,000 international or local payouts in a single batch, significantly enhancing efficiency for high-volume transactions.

What are the different Access Control Levels (ACLs) available in Flash Connect?

Flash Connect offers robust Access Control Levels (ACLs) to manage user permissions within an organisation:

  • ADMIN: Full administrative rights, including managing users, financial operations, and system settings
  • TRANSACT: Allows creating payments and withdrawals. Withdrawals require approval from an APPROVE or ADMIN user

It complies with AUSTRAC reporting obligations and ASIC regulations, ensuring safe and compliant global B2B payments. API security features, such as token expiry and cryptographic webhook signatures, complement it.

Can Flash Connect handle local Australian AUD deposits and withdrawals instantly?

Yes, Flash Connect provides Instant Local Australian Deposit (Pay-in) through dedicated Australian BSB and Virtual Account Numbers (VANs), with funds typically reflected immediately. Local Australian Withdrawals (payouts) are also instant for standard payouts. For FX payments, direct entry via the classic Australian payment system is used, typically taking 0 to a few hours.

How does Flash Connect compare to traditional services?

Flash Connect offers a modern alternative to traditional services by providing a proprietary FX liquidity engine and leveraging blockchain (RippleNet/ODL). This results in faster, more cost-effective, and transparent international payment solutions, alongside robust compliance and automated reconciliation capabilities, often surpassing the speed and complexity of legacy systems.

How can I get started with Flash Connect?

To get started with Flash Connect, you typically need to:

  • Initial consultation & onboarding: review your international payment needs with the Flash Payments team — the best way to get in touch is by filling out the form on our website. You then go through Flash Payments' standard KYC (Know Your Customer) and onboarding process.
  • Production account activation: our Operations team finalises and activates your production account, which typically takes 1-2 business days. After that, you can start transacting manually from the Flash Connect portal.
  • UAT account for the API integration: clients planning a technical integration get access to our UAT (User Acceptance Testing) environment to set up testing data, build the automation against our public API and test every use case before going live.
  • Transitioning to production: once UAT testing is complete we validate the data submitted during testing, and you can take your integration to the Production environment and start transacting.
Do you provide the Confirmation of Payee in Australia?

Yes, Flash Payments provides Confirmation of Payee (CoP), enabled by default for all our institutional clients at no extra cost when paying to Australia. Developed by the Australian Payments Plus (AP+), CoP verifies payee details in real time to prevent fraud and errors, helping us reduce scams across Australia.
