Hi LITB15,
Totally get your client's hesitation with changes like this. The move to secure invoicing is a required upgrade, mainly to boost protection against invoice fraud and make sure everyone's details are kept safe and sound. That said, once their business is verified and the upgrade's done, they can switch off the secure invoicing feature if they don't want to use it moving forward. They can also check this link for more info.

Doreen, it is the verification process they do not want to go through. Whilst govt / ATO are pushing for digital identities, not all businesses are comfortable with 'sharing' more personal information with other companies - which is what MYOB is.
Also, from what I can gather, if they do not comply and get coerced into something they don't want, they will also lose part of the functionality they already have and pay for: namely, emailing directly from the MYOB software.
Hi LITB15,
We hear where your client's coming from. Not every business is comfy handing over more personal info. It's a fair concern, and we get it. As for the emailing side of things, while a business is still undergoing verification for secure invoicing, they won't be able to send email directly from MYOB. If they'd like more details or to chat things through, it's best to have a quick yarn with our Financial Services team. They'll be able to provide clearer info.

So, we are correct in thinking that if they choose NOT to go down this path, they will lose the ability to email directly from MYOB ... a feature that they already have; pay for; but will lose if they don't 'comply'. Is that correct?
