CommBiz Automated Quick Start

Integrate your finance systems using secure file transfer

Overview

The Quick Start guide walks you through everything needed to establish connectivity, exchange files and integrate CommBiz Automated with your business systems – from the prerequisites to complete before you begin, through to go-live.

Before you begin

Before implementing CommBiz Automated, ensure you:

  • have an active CommBiz service.
  • have identified the ERP, finance or treasury system you will integrate.
  • understand which banking services and file formats you require.
  • have technical resources available to configure SFTP connectivity.
  • have engaged your CommBank Relationship Team or Implementation Manager to begin onboarding.

Implementation steps

Step 1

Choose the services you need

Identify the banking services your business wants to integrate (e.g. Direct Entry, BPAY, International Payments, Account Information (BAI2), BTRS, Merchant and Receivables reporting). Each service has its own supported file format and implementation guide.

Step 2

Register for CommBiz Automated

Your CommBank team helps establish your service. You complete the CommBiz Automated Registration Form, nominate the services you require, identify the systems that will exchange files, and nominate users and service configuration.

Step 3

Configure secure connectivity

Configure your SFTP client or server to securely connect with CommBank – generate an SSH public/private key pair, provide your public key to CommBank, configure firewall access, and optionally configure PGP encryption.

Step 4

Build your file integration

Configure your ERP, finance or treasury system to generate supported payment files, retrieve reporting and account information files, process acknowledgements and status files, and automate scheduled file transfers. Refer to the relevant File Specification for each service.

Step 5

Complete testing

CommBank establishes a test environment where you verify secure connectivity, exchange sample files, validate file formats, confirm successful processing and test reporting and file retrieval.

Step 6

Go live

Once testing is complete, your CommBank Implementation Manager assists with moving your service into production. Your automated file transfer then begins according to your configured schedules and business processes.
