2. The Product
2.1 Overview of the product
OneStop provides the ComPay Payment Service in connection with the freight invoicing system also operated by 1-Stop Connections Pty Ltd (OneStop).
OneStop provides specialist solutions for supply chain participants in the import and export of goods to and from Australian ports, including a central system for sending and receiving freight-related invoices. The ComPay Payment Service can be used to make and receive payments in respect of such invoices. Freight providers can submit invoices for payment into OneStop. Freight customers can use the ComPay Payment Service to authorise the payment of the invoices. Where this occurs, OneStop will debit the freight customer’s nominated bank account and forward the money to the freight provider.
OneStop has 2 payment facilities – the direct entry payments facility and the credit card payment facility. These facilities are discussed below.
Use of the ComPay Payment Service and its facilities are governed by the ComPay Client Licence Agreement, Identification Request Form, Direct Debit Request Form, and the Direct Debit Request Service Agreement Form.
These documents are included in Part B of this Product Disclosure Statement. Use of the OneStop freight invoicing system is governed by the OneStop Terms and Conditions, which are included in Part C of this Product Disclosure Statement.
DIRECT ENTRY PAYMENTS FACILITY
Payments will be made through the ComPay Payment Service in accordance with the following process supported by the Australian Payments Clearing Association’s Bulk Electronic Clearing System (BECS) and OneStop’s’ sponsorship into BECS via its bank:
■ The cut-off time for transactions to be included in the daily debit will be 3:30 pm AEST each business day.
■ Transactions approved after 3:30 pm AEST, on weekends or public holidays will be included in the next available business day processing.
■ At the end of each business day, OneStop will debit each freight customer’s nominated bank account with the aggregate amount of all its authorised invoices for that day and will hold the funds in a clearing account. The bank account is in the name of 1-Stop Connections Pty Ltd.
■ Amounts debited from freight customers will be held in the clearing account for a period as agreed and allowed by OneStop’s banking facility provider for its direct debit facilities.
■ At the end of this period, OneStop will then make a payment to each freight provider which is equal to the aggregate of all the provider’s invoices that were previously authorised and debited from the freight customer’s bank account. Payments will be made to the freight provider’s nominated bank account.
■ All debits and credits are aggregated for each customer based on the transactions approved up to the daily cut-off time of 3:30 pm AEST, with detailed reporting available for each via the ComPay Payment Service.
■ OneStop reserves the right to limit (or cap) the daily amount to be debited from freight customer bank accounts.
Interest will not be paid to users of the ComPay Payment Service in respect of amounts held in the Clearing Account.
Users of the ComPay Payment Service will provide OneStop with a signed Direct Debit Request Form for their nominated bank accounts to enable OneStop to debit payment for authorised invoices. This is a requirement of the BECS regulations and is also a requirement for OneStop’s’ banking facility provider’s sponsorship of OneStop into the Direct Entry system.
Should a direct debit instruction against a ComPay Payment Service user’s bank account result in a direct debit default (due to insufficient funds, bank account closure, user’s bank blocking direct entry transactions, etc.) OneStop will, at its discretion:
■ Charge the freight customer a default fee for each transaction represented by the defaulted amount; and either
■ Continue with the payment instruction to the freight provider’s bank account and seek recovery from the freight customer; or
■ Prevent payment to the freight provider.
Where a payment is made based on a defaulted debit, OneStop may, at its discretion, recover the defaulted value from the freight providers paid.
OneStop will review the on-going membership status of the customer should the customer experience three or more direct debit defaults.
“ONESTOP AS MERCHANT” CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS FACILITY
This product allows external parties to make credit card payments to ComPay Payment Service customers with OneStop acting in the capacity of the credit card merchant. Via ComPay, the external party can process a payment to a ComPay Payment Services customer by nominating the payment details including credit card type, number, expiry and CVV number, invoice amount and the ComPay Customer Number (CCN) that is to receive the payment. OneStop will:
■ Increase the value charged to the credit card holder to include the credit card processing fee (CCPF) calculated by the ComPay system, and a credit card transaction fee. The CCPF and the credit card transaction fee will be retained by OneStop. The credit card holder is required to approve the adjusted value at the time the transaction is authorised.
■ Process the credit card transaction approval following submission by the external party.
■ Acquire the value of the payment via its merchant facility with its bank. Note that different credit card companies will settle acquisition value up to 2 days after the card transaction is approved.
■ Hold the funds in a clearing account for a period as agreed with the banking facility. The Credit Card Clearing Account is in the name of 1-Stop Connections Pty Ltd and is held in trust for the users of the ComPay Payment Service.
■ After one day, the process to pay the ComPay Payment Services customer will be initiated either through the Direct Entry Processing product or via Direct Credit processing, at the discretion of OneStop.
■ Should a credit card transaction result in a dispute query from the cardholder, OneStop will consult with the ComPay Payment Services customer who has received the value to determine the authenticity of the transaction. At the discretion of OneStop, a fee may be charged for this action (see Fees and Other Costs).
■ Should a credit card transaction result in a chargeback from the cardholder, OneStop will either:
■ At OneStop’s discretion, charge the ComPay Payment Services customer a chargeback fee (see Fees and Other Costs) and collect this fee from the customer via direct debit, and either
■ Prevent payment of the value to the ComPay Payment Services customer if the value has not already been paid; or
■ Using direct debit, collect the value of the chargeback from the customer.
Should the ComPay Payment Services customer incur a significant number of chargebacks, OneStop will review the ongoing availability of the merchant capability to the customer. This review may result in the merchant capability being withdrawn from the ComPay Payment Services customer.
2.2 Benefits
The following benefits are available when using the ComPay Payment Service:
■ Save time and money by eliminating chequebooks, couriers, and bank fees;
■ Get faster release of freight as payment notification is sent immediately after payment is made and authorised;
■ Comprehensive reporting at any time on your ComPay activity;
■ Tax invoice sent immediately upon payment of storage to terminals; and
■ Simple reconciliation, as ComPay matches invoice and payment information.

5. Other important information
BULK ELECTRONIC CLEARING SYSTEM LIMITS
OneStop is sponsored into the Australian Payments Clearing Association’s BECS system via a major Australian bank. As such, OneStop is subject to an annual review by the bank to ensure that OneStop continues to operate within the terms of its agreement with the bank and meets the requirements of the BECS Regulations. Part of this requirement is the setting of a daily upper limit for all direct debits processed by the bank on behalf of OneStop, which is subject to a credit risk approval by the bank.
Should the daily value of all direct debits exceed the limit value agreed with the bank, OneStop is unable to provide certainty that the full value of debits will be processed on the day of processing, with the result of some debits and associated credits may be delayed to the next available processing day. OneStop continuously monitors its daily debit volumes and works closely with its bank to enhance service capabilities, however, some situations may arise necessitating delayed debiting and subsequent credit settlement as a result of over-limit restrictions placed on OneStop by its bank.
