What is POLi?
POLi allows you to make a payment for goods at your favourite online retailer, pay for travel, or to pay a bill using money straight from your bank account. POLi is safe and secure and lets you use your Internet Banking to make the payment.
Do I have to register to use POLi?
No. This is one of the great features of POLi payments: no registration, and no additional passwords to remember!
Is POLi secure?
Yes, POLi places a lot of importance on the security of its software. We never capture sensitive information such as user name or password. We undertake regular security reviews to ensure that we meet all modern security standards.
Is POLi approved by my bank?
The POLi payments service is brought to you by POLi Payments Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Australia Post and a provider of innovative web-based transaction services and software. POLi is distributed in New Zealand by Merco Limited.
POLi Payments Pty Ltd is not a bank, and does not necessarily have relationships with banks accessible via POLi.
Can I use gift cards, or store credit with POLi?
Currently we do not accept giftcard payments, or store credit if you pay by by POLi.
Why choose POLi?
POLi is a great alternative for people without credit cards, or for those who have them – but would prefer not to use them to shop online. When you use POLi to complete your purchase everything is done within the security of your online banking facility and at no time are you required to disclose your personal banking details to any third party, (including POLi).
Who can use POLi?
Anyone who is registered and able to make payments within a New Zealand internet banking facility.
