Hi

 

Not a Trademe problem but I am trying to pay for something from a Trademe user. The account supplied enters fine in the ASB mobile app (has all the right digits) but when I press pay the app says this;

 

"Sorry, this transaction cannot be completed. This may be becuase tyhe payeee account number is invalid..."

 

The seller says the account number is correct.

 

Anybody had issues with ASB -> Westpac before? Ive never run into this before.

 

Thanks

Ok even weirder, just did the same via the web app and it worked. Hopefully the money hasnt disappeared into the ether.

 

TLDR - might be an issue with the iOS app?

Possibly an issue with the suffix? I know ASB only likes two digits for the suffix, whereas some other banks require three digits.

It is likely the suffix. If the TM seller is with BNZ (02) or Westpac (03) you'll likely be given a 3 digit suffix like so: 02-1234-0123456-012

 

For ASB, you'll drop the leading zero from the suffix or if the account number is too long you'll drop the leading zero.

 

Account numbers are Bank-Branch-Account Number-Suffix just FYI. So 02 is the bank (BNZ), 1234 is the branch, 0123456 is the account number and 012 is the suffix.

ASB website did work and accepted the 2 digit suffix. Didnt think to try 3 digits on the app (but they were all zeros).
