If you wish to enable an Account Float for your Zepto Account, reach out to our support at support@zepto.com.au and ask for more information

Account Floats enable some of our premium features such as expediting your Direct Entry Payments, providing contactless payment capabilities for applications, and enabling NPP payments.

An Account Float is a virtual Funds Account that sits within your Zepto Account allowing you to speed up your payments with pre-cleared funds.

By pre-funding your Account float you'll be able to initiate faster payouts via direct credits, allowing for same-day settlement (on business banking days). If your Account float is configured for NPP payments, payouts will be instant 24/7/365.

You can choose to have your direct debits settle directly to your account float, allowing your application to manage sophisticated payments flow without the funds hitting your bank account. This has the added benefit of faster downstream settlement to end-users.

Where to find your account floats.

See our integration article for an overview of the entire process, from setting up your Account Float, to sending Payments to your customers in a matter of minutes.

Account Floats are configured to meet your specific settlement requirements. The following types of Account Float are available. Please take a good read of these options as once created, your Account Float configuration cannot be changed and you will need to create a new one should you require changes. Our support staff are happy to assist you in choosing the best configuration for your needs.

Leveraging the New Payment Platform (NPP), your float can be configured for real-time payouts with a settlement time of fewer than 3 minutes 24/7/365 even on weekends and public holidays.

Your float can be configured to use BECS for Direct Credit. Settlement times can be as fast as a few hours, depending on when the payout is initiated:

While the NPP is the fastest method of making payouts, there are some types of bank accounts that are not compatible with NPP at the moment. Your Float can be configured to automatically fall back to the BECS network when payment cannot be made via the NPP.

We now allow you to select the channel you would like to use for a particular transaction from your float account. This is explained in our article, here.

Settle your direct debits into your account float, allowing your application to manage payments on behalf of your customers. This provides seamless onboarding of merchants and customers, ultimate flexibility in a payment flow, and faster downstream settlement.
