If the account is at your current Financial Institution: You will need to link your PayID to a different account than it is currently linked through your Financial Institution.
If the account is at a different Financial Institution: You will need to check with your current Financial Institution and request that the status of your PayID be updated to 'transfer'. Once in a state of 'transfer', you will need to check with the Financial Institution which holds the account you intend to link the PayID to, and link the PayID to the new account.
You should note that an individual PayID cannot be linked to two accounts at the same time.
Your Financial Institution will place your PayID into a state of 'transfer with in one business day of the request being lodged (or as agreed by your Financial Institution). The time your new Financial Institution will take to create the PayID after it has been put into a state of 'transfer' is at the discretion of your new Financial Institution.
If the transfer is not successfully completed within 14 days of its status being changed to 'transfer', your PayID will remain linked to the Financial Institution at the Financial Institution you were attempting to transfer from.
If this happens, you will need to repeat the transfer process again by contacting your Fiancial Institution if you still want to link it to another account at a different Financial Institution.
