How is credit push working out for post-dated transactions?

Haven't tried that yet, Dave.
I submitted, then went onto the Cash Focus immediately and approved the transaction. I think it may become a hassle when the Auditors submit from their side and have to let me know to approve.
It is particularly an issue with Cash Focus as it only works from 6am until 5pm weekdays and even less on Saturday.
If the transaction is not approved and the date expires, Cash Focus reports it the next day as an "unapproved transaction" and the payment will need to be resubmitted.
Shouldn't be too much of a problem unless one leaves payments to the last minute.
I still prefer the debit-pull though!

Well, I just discovered this mess tonight. I am always last minute on everything.
I tried their push thingy and were unsuccessful, only managed to create a duplicate payment that I 'owe' them know. After another try, I ended up with two bank accounts, duplicated. BTW, I am the legal account holder.
Next try I just closed their warning with the X top right and proceeded the normal way.
Will see what happens. Got all the sms's as normal as well as the confirmation e-mail as normal.
Keep us posted. Suppose I will now have to go open this 'push' thing. Hope Standard Bank knows how to do it!

My bank does not reflect the payments this morning.
PS. I see it normally reflects on the 1st, so will give it time till tomorrow to reflect.

Just got mail from eFiling that the Bank confirmed payment.
So, now to setup things for the next payment, which, as I understand, will not go through on the old method again.
Dave, maybe you could sent a general notice from the forum, like you sometimes do, to warn people in the end October cycle that they will not be able to pay as usual. Surely there is some that is going to be confronted with this at the last minute. As this tread started on 5 September, I doubt that the people who paid end August and is due to pay again end October, will be aware of it. I am talking about individuals like myself, not about practitioners who will know by now.

This is what I have done to be ready for the next round of payments.
I went into my online internet banking, Payments and Transfers, My Bills. You must agree to their terms and that is it. Now you are ready to be billed by SARS.
Next I went into my banking details at SARS. Change your bank account to the top option of Push credits or something. The layout changes an in the middle something about Absa is displayed. Open the box and look for Autopay, Standard bank. Select that, save and close.
That is it. Apparently I am now ready? Please let me know if I am wrong.
Seems like it works like PayPal. You 'buy' something from SARS (Paypal). You go to your bank account under MyBills (Paypal) and whalla, there is the bill. Authorise it and your payment is done!
I am concerned by the clause on the Standard Bank site, that payments can take up to 3 working days to complete. How does this affect payment on the last day of the month on SARS side. Will I be fined?

In hind sight, I could have done this yesterday and processed my payment like that already. What threw me was
a. I did not know about MyBills on the Standardbank site.
b. I did not see the Autopay Standard Bank option on the SARS site, as I was looking for a Standardbank option. Which is there for Business banking, but does not help the individual much!
So, all the best for those that follow at the end of the month! HTH.
