1. The "friendly" bank account name. You can call this whatever you like.
2. The specific bank; choose the one you deal with.
3. The file-format. Only the formats specific to that bank will show.
4. The data-centre, if required.
5. The Test Sequence number. This is used for banks that require a true test file for the initial approval process. Your bank will advise which number they require for testing.
6. The Live Sequence number. Your bank will advise you which number to start at. Every time an EFT payment is processed this number will
advance. If a file has been created in error this number can be manually altered.
Some banks require a specific sequence number for EFT files, e.g. 1001, 1002, 1003, etc. without any breaks in numbering. Some banks will
accept breaks in numbering as long as the sequence increases. e.g. 1001, 1003, 1007, etc.
7. The GL account (in your accounting system) attached to this bank account.
8. The default file extension for the EFT files. All Canadian banks accept ".txt".

The Bank Account should be added once you have gone through the steps.
We suggest that you make a small test payment on test account before doing a live payment and have you bank check the eft file if everything looks good to them.
