Accessing your email remittances

This page details the steps on how to retrieve your email remittance, including commonly asked questions.

Step 1 - Receiving the remittance email

  • If you are expecting a payment remittance from your payer and haven't received one, please contact the payer to enquire about your remittance.
  • If you cannot click the Open button in the email, please copy the provided link text into your browser.
  • If accessing a remittance link on a mobile device, you should open the link in your mobile browser separately to prevent issues receiving your one-time code.

Step 2 - Complete the Captcha test

  1. When you click the secure link it will take you to a secure Westpac hosted verification page.
  2. On this page you need to click 'Send Code' to continue.
  3. An email will be sent to you containing a one-time verification code.

If you do not receive a one-time verification code email, please perform the following checks:

  1. Wait a short period of time. Emails can take some time to be delivered depending on the sending and receiving gateways.
  2. Check your spam folder.
  3. If you have a dedicated Email Server Manager, check with them whether the email may have been blocked. It will have the subject "Your secure link verification code".

You can resend the code to your email if required by clicking the 'Resend it now' link from the secure browser.

If any of the above issues apply, resending the code will not guarantee that you will receive it.

Step 4 - Entering one-time verification code

  1. On this page you need to enter the one-time verification code that was emailed to you. It is recommended you copy and paste this code directly from the email to prevent entering the one-time verification code incorrectly.
  2. Once you have entered the code you will be taken to the download page.

  • If you enter the one-time verification code incorrectly 10 or more times you may be temporarily blocked.
  • If you are temporarily blocked, please wait 2 hours for the block to be lifted and then proceed to click the email link contained in the original remittance email again.

Step 5 - Downloading the remittance

  1. Once the download has loaded, it should download in your browser automatically.
  2. If the download doesn't start or you wish to download it again, click the filename link on the page.
  3. It is recommended that you download, print and/or save the remittance in a folder that you can access again in the future. The link contained in the remittance email expires after 90 days from the date the remittance email was issued.
