bankfile in wrong format

Hi Elzakelo 

Thank you for your post. In Australia, Electronic bank files are prepared using the Australian Bankers’ Association (ABA) file format. If after downloading it, you have tried to open it in another program, it might have trouble interpreting the information and if you try to view it, it may not be readable. 

I recommend recreating the bank file, then don't try to open it, but try uploading it to your bank in the current format.

Let me know how you get on, and if you still have issues if you could provide the exact error message.
