BankLink Practice and BankLink Books
On 1 February 2019, the servers that deliver bank feeds to BankLink Practice and BankLink Books will be upgraded. We're doing this to ensure we maintain the highest levels of security.
The upgrade relates to the retirement of Transport Layer Security version 1.0, commonly known as TLS 1.0.
To continue receiving bank feeds, before 1 February 2019 you'll need to ensure you are using Windows 7 (or later) or Windows Server 2008 R2 (or later).

If you're using Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, you MUST be using Service Pack 1 as well as applying all the necessary Windows updates and security fixes. |
What if my version of Windows isn’t supported?
If you're using an unsupported Windows version, from 1st February 2019 you’ll no longer be able to receive bank feeds or connect to BankLink Online.
Some of the errors you might see include:

Please speak to your IT professional about a Windows or Server upgrade.
What do your clients need to do?
If you have BankLink Books clients who download their bank feeds directly, make sure they're aware of these changes and have a supported Windows version.
