There are a number of file types you can import into CommBiz. The most popular file type is Direct Entry (EFT), which aligns to the direct entry file specifications. Direct credit is available on all CommBiz services. Direct debit for business is only available on application.
You can also import IMT, Priority Payment, non-CBA payment files, BPAY files, ISO 20022 payment files and CommBiz address book files.
If the Import Files screen doesn't appear and you don't have an Import Files option on the left-hand menu, contact your Administrator.
You can create a payment file in a text document (.ABA) or excel spreadsheet (.CSV) by following the specific CommBiz file specifications for the payment type (such as; Direct Entry, BPAY, IMT or ISO 20022).

Most payroll and accounting software programs can create a payment file in the appropriate file formats. This removes the need to manually create a payment in CommBiz, which is time consuming and can lead to payment error.
To create a payment file from your accounting software, there are multiple file specification requirements that you will need to establish in your payroll/accounting software (e.g. MYOB, Attache Quicken, SAP etc).
Note: For privacy of payment data (e.g. payroll), it's recommended payment files are stored on a secured network directory with restricted access.
