BPay fees

I have had some difficulty in finding out what commission BPay receives for each transaction. The best I have found so far is a statement by BPay that "there is no fee either charged by BPAY to any biller or paid to BPAY by any biller", and a statement by Uni Credit Union that $0.45 is paid to them by BPay for each transaction that the consumer makes. These two statements appear to me to be contradictory - as it seems on one hand as though BPay receives no commission, but then on the other hand that they also pay a commission themselves. Clearly this does not makes sense and needs further research and clarification. Afromcbenny (talk) 14:32, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

All capitals - not camel case

I think the name is in all capitals - not camel case. -- Zondor (talk) 07:00, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

BPAY is always written in upper case and never hyphenated -- Zondor (talk) 00:24, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

So, should we rename the article to BPAY? Dkam (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:41, 25 March 2009 (UTC).

Unless I hear different, I'll move the page in the next few days. Dkam (talk) 11:12, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Recent edits

I don't think this recent edit was constructive. The given reason for the content removal was promotional and trivial. The information removed was about how BPAY works. It wasn't promoting it nor were the details insignificant. That edit should be undone, if others agree. - Shiftchange (talk) 01:42, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Shiftchange. I didn't see much encyclopidic value to those sections. A lot of it wasn't interesting/trivial. It bordered on being a How To and advertising/promotion (a lot of seemed copied from a brochure). And, almost all of the removed content was unsourced, except for one re-use of the same first-party source of the company's website.

After typing out my thoughts on why I removed the content that I did, I figured I'd satisfy a suspicion. I've just now run a couple of the promotional/HowTo sentences through Google: "Each biller decides how to cover their own business costs, including the cost of processing payments. Your biller can tell you more about their charges for processing payments, if any." BPAY. The first couple results for me were Wikipedia and some scraper sites. But, the fourth result was BPAY website's FAQ. The sentences were copied from BPAY's copyrighted website. That would explain the promotional and HowTo tone (the hint for me was the use of You and Your) and why it seemed trivial. This is a Copyright Violation and this edit should not be reverted due to this and any other copy/pasted info.

This article really, really needs reliable, third-party published sources (not press releases, not from BPAY or affiliated companies, etc.) for the information still in the article. If you're thinking of improving this article, that would be a great place to start, in my opinion. And, if adding more information, it should be in one's own words and not be copy/pasted from other websites. Good luck, Stesmo (talk) 05:37, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Not just Australian

This may have started in Australia, but it's no longer confined there. Richard75 (talk) 12:17, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

References? The Barclaycard reference seems to be a completely different technology - an alternative to ApplePay. bPay in Australia is a different thing. Looks to me like there are now two different things called bPay. peterl (talk) 00:12, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

I think you're right. I've added a "not to be confused with" note at the top, and reinstated the bit about it being Australian. Richard75 (talk) 11:05, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Great, yes, I think that is good clarification. peterl (talk) 22:41, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
