Bill payment FAQs
How do I use the bill payments service at the Post Office?
Paying a bill at your local Post Office is easy – just bring what you need and tell us how much you would like to pay. We’ll sort everything out and give you a receipt for your payment. You can pay with cash or debit card at the Post Office and we don’t charge for electronic payments (though some banks may charge – check with your bank if you’re not sure). Cheques are accepted at some Post Offices.
How do I use the bill payments service in Payzone stores?
Payzone retailers have a device in their store that enables their customers to complete over 200 bill payment transactions in their shop. Simply find your nearest store using Payzone’s Store Locator. Don’t forget to check the opening hours and which bill payment services it offers, as this can vary. Pop into your local Payzone shop, pay your bill and pick up any groceries you need at the same time.
