Payment file

How bills are paid many at once by a file your bank reads: the accounts paid from, the file each bank reads, and how long a new payee account waits.

Set up a bank account to pay from

  1. Under Bank accounts paid from, press Set up beside the account.
  2. Choose The file your bank reads, and the pain.001 version for an ISO 20022 file.
  3. Type the Account holder, choose the Country of the account, and type the account as the bank gives it.
  4. Press Save and seal, and confirm it's you.

Then: Pay bills can make runs from it. The account is sealed and shown by its last four only.

Give your NACHA details, for a US bank

  1. Ask your bank for its ACH details.
  2. Type the Immediate destination, Immediate origin, Company name and Company id as the bank gives them.
  3. Check Balanced file: each batch carries the debit from your own account. Ask your bank which it wants. if your bank asks for one.
  4. Press Save, and confirm it's you.

Then: NACHA files carry them. Each is checked as the bank will: a routing number's check digit must add up, and the company id is ten characters.

Choose how long a new payee account waits

  1. Type the Days a new or changed account waits before it is paid, from 1 to 30.
  2. Press Save, and confirm it's you.

Then: A supplier's or a person's new or changed bank account is not paid by a run until that many days have passed, unless a second person confirms it after calling them back.

Meridian keeps 2 days. On Monday a supplier's account changes; Tuesday's run cannot pay it, unless Daniel calls the supplier and confirms it; Wednesday's can.

Payment file is set up by the organization's Owners and Admins. Anybody else is told whose it is.
