Do you need to complete this task?

When you purchase AccountRight online or register a POSA card, you’ll be able to set up bank feeds for your company file. So if you’ve already set up your bank feeds, you can skip this section (unless you want to set up additional feeds).

You can use the bank feeds feature to:

  • easily compare your bank account and credit card transactions with those recorded in AccountRight
  • automatically check for and match transactions that correlate with the bank feed information
  • pre-clear matched transactions to speed up your bank reconciliation.
     

 

To set up a bank feed, you need to be the online owner. This is typically the person who set up your AccountRight subscription. You'll also need:

  • internet access
  • your bank account or credit card details, exactly as they appear on your statement information.

How long does it take to get a bank feed going? If you bank allows you to complete the application via your online banking site, you could be up and running within 24 hours. Otherwise, you need to allow up to ten business days for your bank to process your request.

Complete the steps below to set up your first, or a subsequent, bank feed.

 

1. Set up a bank feed
  1. Start AccountRight.
  2. Go to the Banking command centre and click Bank Feeds. If:
    • this is your first bank feed, the Manage Bank Accounts window appears. Click Get Started with Bank Feeds.
    • you are already working with bank feeds, the Bank Feeds window appears. Click Manage Bank Accounts.
  3. When the Manage Bank Accounts window appears, click Add or remove a bank account
  4. An internet browser window opens and the my.MYOB Log In page appears. Log in with your my.MYOB login details.

  5. Select your financial institution and enter your bank account details.

    Completing the application via your online banking site

    If you're not completing this step online, continue to step 5 to print the MYOB authority form.
