How to pay employees direct from myob

I would like to pay employees direct from myob electronically but it is asking for a ABA which I don’t know what that is

When I click on a employee it just tells me to close and won’t process

    Hi jodieL2,

     

    Paying employees electronically is really great as it gives a seamless process. To pay your employees electronically through MYOB, you'll need to create an ABA file, which is a specific type of bank file used for electronic payments. Here's a simple guide to get you started:

     

    1. Set Up Electronic Payments: First, you'll need to set up electronic payments in MYOB. This involves linking your bank account for electronic payments. You can do this by going to Accounting > Linked Accounts > Accounts & Banking tab and ensuring the bank account is set up for electronic payments.
    2. Prepare the ABA File: Once your electronic payments are set up, you can prepare the ABA file. Go to Banking > Prepare Electronic Payments, select the bank account you set up earlier, tick the pay transactions you want to include, and click on Download Bank File.
    3. Upload to Bank Portal: After downloading the ABA file, you can upload it to your bank's portal to process the payments.
