ABA File Westpac

Hello, I'm new to electronic bank files, bank feeds etc and Westpac is our bank. I have setup our details in MYOB Accountright, I get the ABA file saved on my computer but then when I'm online in Westpac and go to file import it only has the option CSV in the drop down box. I have emailed our local Westpac branch but have got no reply yet, was wondering if anyone could please help. Thank you

    Hi Summer1, 

     

    Thanks for your post and welcome to the Community Forum ! The electronic payment files in AccountRight are prepared using the Australian Bankers’ Association (ABA) file format, if you're unable to upload this to your bank I would recommend waiting to here back from Westpac on their recommendations on how to upload the file. 

     

    Do let me know how you go.

      Thank you Melisa, I heard back from Westpac and all it was, was the "pay multiple" wasn't ticked in our internet banking. Once that was ticked then I pressed import new file, in the dropdown box the ABA appeared and it all went through smoothly.
