Saving an EFT File to a SFTP server

Why use SFTP?

EFT processing offers a reliable way to automate payments. Using SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) can further enhance this process by removing a manual step to download the file before uploading it into the banking software. SFTP is an encrypted protocol that protects the confidentiality and integrity of data during file transfers.

How to setup SFTP?

Users can subscribe to Orchid's SFTP service. You can then configure EFT Banks to SFTP the file directly from the EFT File list.

Users can then generate an EFT File (for AP Payments, AR Payments or Employee Expenses payments). On the EFT File list, users with the necessary permissions can upload to SFTP directly instead of downloading the file to their browser.
