NSW Treasury

Each year, more than 140 million payments are made to NSW Government agencies. Agencies can now offer PayPal as a convenient digital payment option. Under a new whole-of-government agreement between NSW Government and PayPal, this rollout will expand payment choices for people and businesses across sectors like education and health. That means PayPal may be an option for school excursions, families to settle medical bills, and visitors to pay entry fees at state venues, all with a payment method they already use and trust. PayPal is one of Australia’s most popular platforms, and this move reflects NSW’s commitment to modern customer preferences. By aligning with current payment trends, we’re making transactions safer, seamless, & more secure. #NSWTreasury #DigitalPayments #Innovation #CustomerExperience #PayPal
