EFTXpress is an add on product which enables Cashbook users to select EFT as a Cashbook batch type.

From the Bank Format drop down list you can select your bank format.

Build your own description that appears on your bank account statement as well as the description that appears on the Beneficiary bank account statement.

You can build descriptions of up to three segments from the following fields: Batch Entry Reference, Batch Entry Description, Miscellaneous Code and Miscellaneous Name.

During posting of the EFT batch an EFT file is generated in the specific format your bank requires to process the EFT payments.

Once your bank has processed the EFT payments, EFTXpress imports the Reference Numbers generated by your bank. EFTXpress will match these payment entries to the EFT transactions in the Cashbook and update the Reference Numbers in the Cashbook Bank Reconciliation to facilitate reconciliation to your bank statement.

  • Creating an EFT Batch: An extra batch type is now available called EFT Batch. Use this batch type to create an Electronic Funds Transfer file to submit to your particular bank for processing.

What has always taken the longest period of time to perform? The Cashbook reconciliation, although extremely versatile, it can still take many hours to balance. By enhancing the import reconciliation function already in Cashbook, an automatic match of up to 99% can be obtained using RecXpress. 

This process has been further improved by giving you the ability to ‘remember’ monthly entries and generating a variety of repetitive entries you need not re-enter each month. Customize your default template each month you do your reconciliation until such time almost all entries are automatically generated by RecXpress.

RecXpress Default Templates takes your bank reconciliation to another level.
Get predefined formats for most major banks in your country. Check out the latest  list of bank imports available. This list is increasing all the time as more and more banks take advantage of this new feature and make their interface formats available to Peresoft.
