An ABA check is a review of an Australian Banking Association direct entry file. ezyshield parses the file, attempts to match credit entries to existing verifications, and lets you download a regenerated file containing matched entries. ezyshield does not process the payment. You still process the file in your banking software or payment workflow.

​
How it relates to verifications

ABA checks depend on existing verifications. The file check is useful when you already have verified payees and want to review a payment file before processing it elsewhere. Entries are matched against the latest successful contact-backed verification for the same BSB and account number.

​
When to use it

Use ABA checks when:
  • your payment process uses ABA direct entry files
  • you want to compare file entries against existing successful verifications
  • your operations team needs to inspect or download a regenerated file before processing
Use the normal verification and check APIs for individual onboarding and payment decisions outside ABA files.
