FAQ – Depositing Funds into Digital Surge

1. What’s the minimum deposit amount?

The minimum amount you can deposit into your Digital Surge account is $20 AUD.

2. Do deposits need to come from a bank account in my name?

3. How long does it take for deposits to arrive?

Most deposits via PayID or Osko land within minutes, but in some cases, your bank may hold the transfer for up to 24 hours, especially if it’s your first time or a large amount. Don’t worry — you’ll receive an email notification as soon as your funds hit your account.

4. How will I know when my deposit is successful?

We’ll send you an email as soon as your deposit has been received and credited to your Digital Surge account. You can also check your balance by logging in and heading to your dashboard.
