Once your bank feeds have been activated, the transaction data from the accounts you have connected will be sent to your accounting software provider daily.

What else do I need to know about bank feeds?

Yes. You can link multiple accounts at once. Learn how to connect or disconnect bank feeds.

Please allow up to one business day for the link to your software to be activated.

You may need to ask your provider if they are registered with Westpac.

Once a bank feed has been connected, any changes to a User’s access will not impact the connection. However, you may choose to disconnect your feeds if a User’s access or network access levels have changed. Learn more in our how to connect or disconnect bank feeds guide.

Most Westpac business transaction and savings accounts can be linked to bank feeds through Online Banking. Accounts with multiple authorisations for transactions, credit cards and loan accounts are not able to be linked.

 

If you wish to import transactions to your accounting software for credit cards or loans, you can export a list of your transactions by following our how to export a detailed transaction history guide.
