Creating a Bank List

The Bank List is where you can store information regarding all of the banks from which you accept direct payments and to which you send payments.

Banks can be selected for customers that are using the Direct Debit payment type. You can define a bank on a customer's Detail tab or when adding/editing a payment entry on the Payments page of the Completion Wizard.

The list of banks in the Direct Deposit/Debit Banks dialog box list can get quite large. A Bank Filter will help you quickly find the bank for which you are looking. Bank filters are applied in the Direct Deposit/Debit Banks dialog box.

1. Type the first few letters of the bank you wish to view into the Filter List field. The list of banks will automatically display only those banks whose name begins with the letters you have typed.

2. To change the filter, erase any existing text in the Filter List field and type the first few letters of the bank you wish to view.

3. To remove the filter, erase all text from the Filter List field.
