BPAY and Rural Aid provide drought relief to Aussie farmers via BMF

Paying bills is a part of life, and for years, BPAY has made paying bills easier.

And now BPAY has turned their attention to drought affected farmers to make it easier for them to pay their bills in their new campaign. With many parts of Australia currently facing the longest drought on record, farmers are facing significant financial pressure with mounting water, fuel, feed and other bills.

For the campaign, BPAY has partnered with Rural Aid – one of Australia’s largest rural charities – to encourage Australians to use BPAY to help pay the household bills of drought-affected farmers. Australians can choose to donate to Rural Aid as a one-off, recurring or scheduled payment through an Australian bank account. To kick-start the donations, BPAY has contributed $100,000.

In addition to the fundraising efforts, BPAY has also been working behind the scenes to help set Rural Aid up as a BPAY biller so that they are now able to quickly identify donors to reconcile payments and issue receipts promptly.

Renee Amor, General Manager Marketing and Communication, BPAY Group, said: “We are incredibly proud of partnering with Rural Aid to support our Aussie farmers. The campaign leverages BPAY's high brand awareness and trust to deliver a fantastic community benefit. And as a result, will build an even stronger emotional connection to our brand."

She adds, "Our research shows that while awareness Is high, users aren't necessarily aware that they are using BPAY because it is so seamlessly integrated into their banking channels. We can give BPAY an Identity, a stronger personality and put a face to the name while making a difference. Our member Financial Institutions have loved being able to also make a difference by sharing this campaign with their customers." The integrated campaign includes TV, Online, OOH and Digital, featuring real Aussie farmers’ testimonies on how the drought has affected their livelihood, and drives viewers to donate via https://www.ruralaid.org.au/BPAY
