Before
exporting a Batch to a X937 file, the following one-time setup
is required.
File setup will incur a $350 one-time fee. Please contact Support and request an Integrations project.
Bank Setup
To use the Bank (X937) file, work with your bank to set up the needed features to your account to be able to accept and process an ICL (Image Cash Letter) file in X937 format.
We will need two sets of information to set up your file:
- Ask your bank for a copy of their "ICL File Specifications" document for standard X937 files. This is typically a multiple page PDF.
- Ask your bank (or find it in your account information) for the following values specific to your account:
- Origin Name
- Origin Contact Name
- Origin Phone Number
- Origin Routing Number
- Country Code
- Institution Routing Number
- Destination Routing Number
- Destination Account Number
- Destination Name
- File Name format and example
Once you have this information, email
both to
Support to have your Batch Manager Tool export configured.
If your bank requires/requests/allows:
- An electronic deposit slip: Provide a sample and any HTML formatting requirements.
- Virtual endorsement: Provide the required content of the endorsement. For example: For Deposit Only to Acct#1234567 Your Church, Inc.
Note: It does not matter if we have other churches with a Bank file from your bank already set up. We need this information from you as it is specific and potentially unique to your account.
Batch Manager Tool Setup
Once received, Support will update your Batch Manager Tool with the bank's file specifications.
If you have multiple accounts that need to accept and process an ICL, a distinct file needs to be setup for each. You will be able to select the desired file settings to use in the Export dialogue > Bank Settings drop down in the Batch Manager
Tool.
If you use User Congregations, they are not honored by the BMT. In lieu of User Congregations, ensure that all BMT users have the appropriate Global Filter permissions. Test File
You need to send a test file to your bank for approval.
Let your bank know that you need to test a new ICL file.
Export a Batch to a X937 file. (Any Batch is OK; as a test file, it does not
actually process.)
Transmit this test file to your bank.
Let Support know if your bank approved the file or needs adjustments made.
If approved, Support updates your Batch Manager Tool X937 file export from test mode to production mode.
If adjustments are needed, provide the specifics of the needed adjustments to Support. Once adjusted, repeat the above steps until approved by your bank.
