An ABA file check reviews an Australian Banking Association direct entry file before you process it in your banking software or payment workflow. ezyshield does not initiate the payment. It parses the file, compares entries against existing verifications, and lets you download a regenerated file containing matched entries.

​
When to use ABA file checks

Use this workflow when:
  • your payment process produces ABA direct entry files
  • you already have ezyshield verifications for the payees in the file
  • you want to review or remove unmatched entries before processing the file elsewhere
Use checks before payment for individual payment decisions outside an ABA file.

​
Workflow

1

Verify payees first

Create successful verifications for the payees you expect to appear in the file. ABA file checks match credit entries to the latest successful contact-backed verification for the same BSB and account number.
2

Upload the ABA file

Use Upload a single ABA file. The endpoint accepts a multipart file upload.
3

Review the check result

Retrieve the ABA check to inspect status and metadata. Use the Dashboard if your operations team needs to review the file interactively.
4

Download the regenerated file

Download the regenerated ABA file. It contains entries matched to verifications, with the total debit amount updated to the sum of those matched entries.
5

Process the file elsewhere

Process the regenerated file in your banking software or payment workflow. ezyshield does not submit the payment.
