Here you can find the latest details on how quickly Bendigo Bank processes Centrelink transactions, based on bank policies and official guidance.
Processing Schedule for Centrelink Payments
Bendigo Bank begins processing Centrelink payments from 2:30 pm on the day they are received and generally completes processing by noon the next day. Therefore, most transactions are handled on the same calendar day, but some may finalize by noon the following day.
Same-Day vs Next-Day Processing
Most operations processed after 2:30 pm are still credited the same day. However, in cases where delays occur—such as weekend, public holidays, or systems issues—processing may extend into the next business morning. Rest assured, Bendigo aims to complete all payments by around midday.
Additional Notes
If you don’t see your Centrelink payment by early afternoon, it should appear by noon the following day. Always check your account and set alerts via internet banking or the mobile app for updates on payment status.
