Summer Security Release: New Features to Safeguard Your Payments and Logins

Security isn’t just a feature at pay.com.au—it’s our foundation. This Summer, we’re introducing three major security enhancements: Custom Authorisation, Passkeys, and an improved Session Timeout feature. Together, these updates bring stronger protection and smoother user experiences.

Custom Authorisation: Full Control Over Payment Approvals 

Managing high-value payments requires a tailored approach to security, especially for businesses with turnover over $50 million. Our Custom Authorisation feature empowers you to assign multiple payment approvers, define flexible rules, and keep track of every approval with full transparency. 

Key Features:

• Flexible Approval Rules: Set approvers based on payment value or type.
• Full Transparency: An activity log shows who approved payments at a glance.

Why It Matters:

• Stronger Security: Multi-level approvals enhance protection for large transactions.
• Compliance Made Easy: Meet internal and regulatory standards effortlessly.
• Supports Business Growth: Confidently manage critical payments, increasing transaction volume and adoption.

Passkeys: Secure, Hassle-Free Logins

Passwords can be a hassle and a risk. That’s why we’re introducing Passkeys, the future of secure, password-free logins. 

With Passkeys, you can access your account using biometric authentication removing the need for passwords and reducing phishing risks.
 

Key Benefits:

• Quick and Easy: Log in with a single tap, using biometrics.
• Phishing-Resistant: Not using passwords means you’re at less risk of being a victim of a phishing or hacking incident.
• Multi-Device Convenience: Seamlessly access your accounts across synced devices through your preferred passkey managers, like iCloud Keychain or Google Password Manager.

Why You’ll Love It: 

• Intuitive Security: No more remembering passwords, just fast, secure access.
• Advanced Protection: Passkeys help prevent phishing and data breaches.
• Future-Proof: Passkeys align with the latest in secure login technology.

Enhanced Session Timeout: Balancing Security and Usability 

Session timeout is key to safeguarding your data without disrupting your work. Our updated Session Timeout feature intelligently manages idle sessions, keeping your information safe while ensuring a smooth experience. 

What’s New: 

• 10-Minute Timeout: Sessions time out after 10 minutes of inactivity, balancing security with convenience. 

• Active session Detection: Your session stays active when you’re engaged, avoiding unwanted logouts. 
•  Idle Prompts: Get a gentle nudge close to timeout, so you never lose progress mid-task.

Why Session Timeout Matters: 

• Enhanced Security: We detect idle time, which lowers unauthorised access risks.
• Smooth Workflow: Intelligent prompts and background refreshing keep your focus uninterrupted.

These updates not only strengthen your security but also create a more seamless experience. With Custom Authorisation for payment control, Passkeys for effortless logins, and Session Timeout for added protection, pay.com.au empowers you to focus on business growth with confidence.

Start using these features today and experience the best of security and convenience.
