Pay Anyone FAQs
What is Pay Anyone?
How do I add a new payee using a Pay Anyone Password?
In Heritage Online, the Pay Anyone process is streamlined. To perform a transfer to a new destination, simply enter the details of the new destination into the fields provided.
The system will automatically detect that it's a new payee and ask for the appropriate authentication. This will be either a Pay Anyone Password or a One Time Password depending on your settings.
Once the payee is added you can complete the transfer as normal. To learn more about transferring money in Heritage Online you can also watch this helpful how-to video.

How can I stop automatic payments from my account?
If the payment is a periodical payment that you set up in Heritage Online, you can login to Heritage Online and follow these steps to stop the payment.
If the automatic payment is a direct debit coming from an external merchant or biller, you may contact us and give us recognised instructions to place a stop payment on the Direct Debit. Alternatively, Direct Debits may be cancelled directly with the merchant/company they were established with. This will ensure your payment is cancelled within the conditions of your agreement with them.
Please note: In order to ensure that no further payments are debited to your account, when processing your recognised instruction to place a stop payment on the direct debit, all future direct debits from that particular debit user will be stopped.
If you believe a direct debit to your account was not authorised, you can either:
- contact us and give us recognised instructions to dispute the transaction (in which case we will investigate the transaction and tell you about our findings); or
- contact the direct debit user and dispute the transaction with them.
