EFT Processing Overview

EFT Processing for Sage Intacct simplifies financial transactions by automating payments and direct debit/receipt processes in a secure and cost effective way. It creates bank-compatible files for vendor payments (AP), customer receipts (AR), and employee reimbursements.

EFT Processing generates payment and direct debit files in the specific format required by your bank allowing you to upload them into your banking system instead of manually entering transactions in the banking software.

If using the SFTP option, you can upload the files automatically to the bank without using the banking software.

EFT Processing supports the following types of Sage Intacct transactions:

  • Accounts Payable (AP): Facilitates payments to vendors and suppliers.

  • Accounts Receivable (AR): Handles direct debit transactions from customers.

  • Employee Expenses: Processes reimbursements efficiently.
