Bill payment options

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

EFT is the transfer of funds from your bank account into Aurora's bank account. This process usually requires your financial institution's software for the transfer connection. Once set up, you simply pay through your accounts payable department. To set up this payment method contact Aurora on 1300 13 2045. EFT enables your accounts payable department to track account payments.

You may also like to make regular payments by Direct Debit on a scheduled basis.
