How do I reprint the bank feed authority form?

If a bank feed has a Bank form created, not yet active status you may reprint the authorisation form. You may need to do this if you’ve misplaced the form, or if it hasn’t been received by MYOB or your bank or financial institution.

1. In MYOB Essentials, click your business name then choose Manage bank feeds. The Manage bank feeds page appears.

2. Click the print icon next to the bank feed you want to reprint the form for. The authorisation form appears in a new window with the supplied bank account details already entered.

3. Print the form. The account holders must sign the form where indicated, and fill out any other necessary details.

4. Post the signed form to the MYOB address given on the form.

   Once the authorisation form is received, MYOB will forward the information to your bank or financial institution. When the request is approved, data will automatically be fed into your nominated MYOB Essentials account, and the status of the feed will change to Linked and active.

   The list on the Manage bank feeds page is updated to show the linked bank account you requested.
