Put your money where your mobile is
Everyone’s a winner
Shuffling bank cards at checkout? We’re over that. Payap gives you access to your bank accounts (and soon, reward programmes, too) from one secure digital wallet. *^ Then just scan and choose which one to pay with. You’ll never fumble for the right card again.
We’re not picky
Maybe you’re a one-bank ride or die. Maybe you’ve got loads of banks on the go. Either way, we’ve got you. Payap isn’t tied to one NZ bank – it’s built to work no matter who you bank with.* Just link your bank accounts and start paying.

Pick ‘n’ mix payments
No more sweaty palms at checkout when your card’s running low. With Payap, you can see your balances and spread payments across multiple accounts right on the spot - whether you're balancing budgets, or managing cash flow like a pro.
Boss mode: Activated
Real bosses don’t wing it. They run the numbers. Payap gives you the tools to stay on top of your money like a pro, with spending limits, real-time tracking, and a clear view of your cash flow. No more money mayhem. Just bossing your finances.
Security is our jam
When it comes to security, we really don’t mess around. We’re talking bank-level security and fingerprint, face, or pin code verification. Built for New Zealand, powered by Centrapay and backed by BNZ, Payap is designed for Kiwi who take security as seriously as we do.
