Background: NAB Connect provides the functionality to upload financial files via
a mailbox (or series of mailboxes, depending on the services required).
This service allows for bulk transactions to be uploaded directly to NAB Connect,
replacing the requirement for manual entry of transactions while still applying
security features such as payment limits and authorisation rules.
Once processed acknowledgement files will be available in the Download area of
the Financial file transfer window (refer to ‘View and export a financial file’ Quick
Reference Guide.
Please refer to the NAB Connect Consolidated file format document for more
information on file formats and file size limits.
