How do I add a master bank record?

Set up a master bank record for each bank that you will use in a Connect application. The master bank record will store the bank number and name; bank account; cash account; void check account; and routing number. When you add a bank to a Connect application and the a master bank record exists, you will only need to select the bank number and name instead of setting up another bank record at the application level. 

The master bank record will save you time when you need to add a bank to an application. It will also help you when you need to update information for the bank because you only need to update the master bank record in System Management to update the bank record at the application level. 

 

Adding a bank

1. Open Connect System Management > Master Records > Setup/Modify Banks.

2. Click New (CTRL+N).

3. Fill in the options on the form.

Enter a routing number. The routing number is not the same number as the account number. The routing number is a nine-digit identification number assigned to a bank by the American Bankers Association (ABA). This number identifies the financial institution upon which a payment is drawn or deposited. Routing numbers are sometimes referred to as check routing numbers, ABA numbers, or routing transit numbers (RTN). Routing numbers may differ depending on the state in which your account was open and the type of transactions being made.
