ACH Universal enables you to create files that are compatible with U.S. Bank's Secure Payment format.

 

While the Secure Payment format is similar to an ACH file, there are several differences.  To account for these differences, you will need to enter a custom code into ACH Universal.

 

 

 

I. Setup
1. Download and install the software:

http://www.treasurysoftware.com/download.aspx

 

Tip: If you are installing for a multi-user environment, please see additional documentation at:

http://www.treasurysoftware.com/support2-Install-Center.html

 

 

Start the software if you haven't done so already.
 

 
2. Create a new account by selecting File > New Account > Create

Complete the wizard.

 

 
3. Enter your custom code obtained from US Bank
You can enter the custom code by selecting the Settings tab then 'Import, System' to access the Options window.

Then enter your code on the 'CustomCode 1' line, press 'UPDATE', then 'Close'.

 

 

 

Note: Upon clicking 'Update', you will receive the following message (assuming you entered the correct code):

 

 

 

 

4. Enter your Company Information in ACH Setup

You can access the setup wizard from the lower left corner of the program home page.

Please enter all four line items as supplied by US Bank.

 

 

Congratulations - you're done with the account setup.

 
 
 

 

II. Creating a file

5. Importing transactions

Click the Import Transactions button on the Home Page to start the Import Wizard.

Point to your Excel or csv file with the following fields:

Amount

Employee Name

ID_Number

 

Click next to bring you to the Mapping Window.  Map the fields as noted below.

 
****IMPORTANT - The amount field must be imported as a credit (negative).******

Either:

Have your amounts signed as a negative and map as 'Amount'

or

If your amounts are not signed (positive), map as 'Amount_Reverse_Sign'.

Failure to sign the amount properly will result in an improperly formatted file.

 

 

 

Click Next, review your records and complete the wizard.

 

 

6. Create the Secure Payment file

Click on Create ACH File to create the file.

Send this file to US Bank.

 

 

 

Notes:

--The US Bank Secure Payment utility is different than an ACH file.  Other features within ACH Universal may not be compatible with this format.

Setting or engaging features not documented on this page - may result in a Secure Payment file no longer compatible with US Bank specifications.

 

--This format requires a Processor level license.
