  • pay directly from AccountRight (2019.3 BETA customers only)
  • create a bank file from AccountRight then upload it to your bank for processing

Making payments

There are a few ways to identify that a payment you're making is to be paid electronically:

  • When you record a Spend Money or Pay Bills transaction, select the Electronic Payment option.
  • When you record a Pay Liabilities transaction, select the Group with Electronic Payments option.
  • If you've set up your employees to be paid electronically, when you process their pays they'll be identified as electronic payments.

Recorded electronic payments are grouped on the Prepare Electronic Payments window, ready for processing.
