Internet Banking for Business can generate daily statement files from the previous day for your accounts. This is called File Download.

What is File Download?

File Downloads is a function in Internet Banking for Business that allows you to download transactional information to be used with third party accounting software. The files contain data from a single day for all your accounts of a certain type, and are formatted to the BNZ GIFTS new standard.

These files differ from those you can download using the Transaction History function because they contain all transactions from a single day for all accounts of a certain type in one file. In Transaction History, you can download transactions from a single account across a customisable date range.

If your site is not set up for File Downloads but think it might be useful to your business, please talk to your BNZ relationship manager.

What type of data can you download?

You can download daily balance or transaction statement files. Files contain all your accounts for each account type, and are in the BNZ GIFTS new standard format.

What account types can you download files for?

• Everyday accounts
• Foreign currency accounts
• BNZ credit cards
• Other bank - ANZ
• Other bank – ANZ (previously National Bank accounts)
• Other bank - Westpac
