Edit a Periodic Payment

A re-occurring payment can be amended or re-activated if the payment details or amount change.  Any User that has access to the debit account of the existing payment that is in a 'Requires authorisation' or 'Requires repair' payment status can make the necessary change on a payment that has not yet been authorised. Authorising Users or Administrators can make changes in most other payment statuses. View Payment statuses explained for more information on the different status meanings. Once updated, the payment must be authorised.

Make sure you’re logged into NAB Connect to get started.
