    ABA File Import

    An ABA file is used to complete batch payments produced by the Accounting or Payroll Software. 
    A batch payment is a payment that groups a number of supplier invoice payments or employee pays. 

    After creating the batch payment, the Accounting/Payroll software produces the ABA file then uploaded into the online Banking Portal. It is compatible file format with all Australian banks.
