Making payments via BlinkPay is one of the ways you can pay your employees with PayHero. Learn more about paying via BlinkPay below, or for more information on the options available, see our article: How do I pay my employees?
With BlinkPay active, a single payment from your account to FlexiTime will be generated. We will then pay your employees (and any other payees) via an online account-to-account transaction.
For more information about BlinkPay, see the BlinkPay website.
Integrating with BlinkPay
Head to the Manage > Integrations tab to connect your PayHero account to BlinkPay.
Click Connect, then select your bank.

Internet banking redirects you to your bank to log in and authorise it, while the banking app option asks for your mobile number and sends a request to your app.
Click Review your payment. Make sure all the details are correct. If you want to continue, click Proceed to my bank, or click Cancel to stop.
You'll now be prompted to approve the connection, either in your mobile banking app (shown below) or via internet banking, depending on the option you selected earlier.
Once the connection is complete, you will see this connection success confirmation:

FAQs
Does the BlinkPay integration support my bank?
Does the BlinkPay integration support my bank?
BlinkPay works with all major New Zealand banks, including ANZ, ASB, BNZ and Westpac.
If your bank isn't supported yet, you can register your interest with BlinkPay via the 'Where is my bank?' option and they'll let you know once it's available.
Is there a transaction limit for payments made via BlinkPay?
Is there a transaction limit for payments made via BlinkPay?
Yes. These limits will make the integration unusable if your total payroll exceeds your bank's supported threshold.
We recommend checking these figures against your typical pay run total to ensure your bank can support your needs.
The current thresholds are:
ANZ - $10,000 per pay.
ASB - $10,000 per pay.
BNZ - $50,000 per day. Note that this is a cumulative total for all open banking transactions from your account per day.
Westpac - $30,000 per day. Note that this is a cumulative total for all open banking transactions from your account per day.
What time will payment be made to employees?
What time will payment be made to employees?
PayHero makes payments to payroll recipients twice a day, in the early afternoon and late evening. When your employees will be paid depends on the pay date and the time of day your pay was processed.
Future pay date - Where the pay date is later than the day the pay is processed, employees will be paid at noon on the pay date.
Evening payment - Where the pay date is the same as the day you process the payment, pays sent between 10am in the morning and 7pm in the evening will be processed that night. Processing begins at 9pm.
Afternoon payment - Where the pay date is the same as the day you process the payment, pays sent before 10am in the morning (or after 7pm the prior day) will be paid to employees in the afternoon. Processing begins at 12pm.
After processing begins, the time employees receive the payment will depend on inter-bank clearance periods.
Do transaction fees apply?
Do transaction fees apply?
