Q: My bank requires a login record.  How do I set up ACH Universal to provide one?

 

A: A login record, if used by the bank, is the very first line in an ACH file, even before the file header record.  It is used by the bank to identify the sender.  Distinct from ACH identification, the bank will use this information for processing and tracking purposes.

 

1.  Obtain the specific login record from the bank.

2.  Start the software, load the account you have created in ACH Universal

3.  Select the File menu, then Options, then Transmit to Bank

4.  Scroll to the Local File tab.

5.  Key in the login record exactly as specified by the bank into the textbox labeled "Login record"

6.  Click Close to save your changes.

 

ACH Universal will now include the login record in every ACH file made in that account.
