  1. Sign in to Online Banking from a desktop
  2. Select Services
  3. In the Account service section, select Bank Feeds
  4. Select an account (or multiple accounts), then select To third party service provider 
  5. Select Connect feed.


Note: If you are changing your third-party service provider or a user’s access levels, you will need to disconnect your previous bank feed before proceeding.
