Bank Accounts

Download a Prenote File

Download a prenote file, and submit it to your bank to make sure your bank and employees' account information is properly set up.

  • You must have accounting administrator permissions to perform this task. See Accounting Roles and Permissions for more information.

  • You must own Payroll to do this.

  • Enable direct deposit.

A prenote file contains no amounts and is used as a test to make sure your bank and employees' account information is properly set up before a payroll run.

  1. In the top-left corner, click your ministry hub then Accounting. Then click Ledger Setup > Bank Accounts.
  2. Beside a direct deposit bank account, click Download Prenote File.
  3. Read all provided information, and click Download.
  4. Your prenote file will download as a TXT file.
  5. Upload this file into your banking software at least 3 business days before you submit a live file.
    Tip: You only need to download and submit a prenote file once until you gain new employees, or an existing employee changes his or her direct deposit information.
