A new partnership between ASB and POLi is set to transform how New Zealanders pay online, offering a faster, safer, and more convenient way to check out at some of their favourite stores, including PB Tech.
In the coming months, ASB customers will be able to use POLi to make payments via ASB’s open banking APIs. This means no more sharing bank usernames or passwords; payments are authorised securely within the ASB mobile banking app. For shoppers, it’s a seamless experience that prioritises security and ease of use.
What This Means for Our Customers at PB Tech
POLi remains available at PB Tech, but ASB customers will be redirected to their mobile banking app for verification when this transition happens.
ASB customers using POLi will then enjoy:
Enhanced security: Authentication happens directly in the ASB app.
Streamlined checkout: No need to enter card details or bank credentials.
Why It Matters
Open banking is reshaping the future of digital payments by giving consumers more control and choice. POLi has long supported this shift, and ASB is leading the way as the first bank in New Zealand to offer open banking APIs for POLi’s use.
As the country’s largest online debit payments provider by volume, POLi facilitates thousands of transactions every day. This partnership marks a major step forward in delivering secure, innovative payment options to Kiwi consumers.
