Overview

...

Datacom offers two automated banking options; AMSL (ASB Management Services Limited ) and Direct Banking (ANZ and BNZ). 

The deadline will be as per the supplementary agreement. Ideally we want the files finalised no later by  4.30pm on the day so that if there are any banking issues and we need to follow up back, these can be resolved within Easipay Service hours

AMSL Banking Service

KeyLink generates and sends a bank file to ASB Management Services Limited (AMSL). AMSL will debit your nominated company bank account and credit your employees' accounts.

• The funds are debited from the nominated company bank account and credited to your employee's bank accounts on the evening of Direct Credit (DC) date.
• AMSL charge $3.25 per batch plus 21c per transaction.
• To use this service, a letter of credit (LOC) is required from the Client's bank.
• There is an annual fee associated for having a LOC in place, charged by the Client's bank.
• AMSL can only debit from a NZ bank account and credit the funds to NZ bank accounts.
• To use the AMSL service, forms need to be completed and returned to Datacom. These forms will be forwarded onto AMSL.
• AMSL will forward the LOC application on to the Client's bank.
• Once the LOC has been sent to AMSL, they will advise when the automated banking service can begin.
• If the company bank account number changes at any time, the registration process is required again, and the new account cannot be used until the new LOC has been provided.
• If you would like to use this service, please advise your EasiPay consultant which bank the payroll is going to be using so they can provide you with the relevant forms.

• If you would like to use this service, please contact your EasiPay consultant who will provide you with a new Datacom Supplementary Agreement and the relevant bank's Third Party Authorisation form.

If the bank account you are changing is not ANZ or BNZ, you will either need to sign up to the AMSL Banking Service or manually upload the bank file yourself
