  • How do I register the Security Certificates in Gemalto?

    Once you have successfully installed the Gemalto software, insert your card back into the reader. Then:

    - If you get a prompt from Microsoft Windows to install certificates, click yes and they will automatically install. Once the process is complete, the light on your card reader will stop flashing and turn to solid green.

    - If you are not prompted by Microsoft Windows to install the certificates, you will need to do thismanually:

    1. Click the windows start button.2. Select 'all programmes'.3. 'Gemalto'4. 'Classic Client toolbox'.5. Click 'certificates'.

    How do I manually install the Gemalto Certificates

    6. Log into the Gemalto software using the pin number for your card.

    Once you have logged in, the Register All button will become active.

    Press Register all and you will then be informed that the certificates have been registered correctly. The light on the reader will now be solid green.

    Please Note: In some cases, depending on the policies set by your I.T. department, you may need administrative rights to install the certificates. Your I.T. department will be able to assist you with this.

    Please Also Note: Occasionally anti-virus software can cause certification issues. If, after your first PIN entry, you receive an error message informing you that the card is unable to authenticate with the Bacs Payment Services Website, then contact your I.T department for help and provide them with the following alert instruction.

    I.T. Department Alert:In some cases anti-virus software can strip out one of the certificates in the smart card certificate chain.McAfee is the most common culprit for this. You can check the certificate chain in the 'Content' section of Internet Options, or via the control panel in the Gemalto toolbox. There will be a chain of three certificates if they have installed correctly. If there are only two certificates present, then you need to check the user has the rights to install the certificates as they are installed on the C: drive or you will need to alter the settings on your anti-virus to exclude the smart card software and the ensuing certificates.

    If you do not have the option to register all you will need to go through a manual process to register the certificates. Please click on the link below to see the article on how to do this:

  • Trading Times:

    Trading begins, UK Time Monday 00:00 and closes UK Time Friday 22:00.

    Please be aware that when making Foreign Exchange (FX) settlements, the longest duration will be used for the pairing.

    Settlement Timeline Explanation:

    For example: to buy New Zealand Dollar (NZD) with UK Sterling (GBP). New Zealand Dollar (NZD) takes 1 day settlement time, whilst UK Sterling (GBP) takes 0 days settlement time.

    Your NZDwill only be available after a 1 day settlement time frame. Funding must therefore be received before the cut off time, one day prior to the desired delivery date.

    Terminology:

    0 Days (T+0, TOD, Same Day) a conversion that will settle today.

    1 Day (T+1, TOM, Next Day) a conversion that will settle tomorrow.

    2 Days (T+2) a conversion that will settle in two days.

    3 Days (T+3) a conversion that will settle in three days.

    Cut-off Times Times that funds must be received and cleared in order to honour your instruction.

    ISO Three letter code that identifies the country and currency type. For example: in Great Britain the currency is Pound Sterling, so ISO equals GBP.

    User and Roles

    To add a role, click on the settings cog in the top right of the page and select Roles from the drop-down menu.

    As you will see, the AllPerm role has been created. This role allows full access to all bank statements, including those which may be added in future.

    Once you have created your role and the required permissions, click Save role. Your new role will then appear under the Roles page and can be assigned to different users.

    If you wish to delete a role, you can click View next to the relevant role and Delete role at the bottom of the screen. Alternatively, select the down arrow next to View and you can click Delete.

    Creating users

    Once you have created your role you can add users. Navigate to the settings cog at the top right of the screen and select Users from the drop-down menu on the left hand side under Management. This will be where your users in the system will be listed.

    To add a new user click New user and enter the new users details as prompted on screen.

    From here, you can select the role that you want to assign to the user. If you want the user to be an administrator of the system, tick the box next to Administrator.

    Selecting administrator permissions enables the user to review consent and set up roles. If the user is required to set up users or edit, as well as roles, they will need to have the Manage users permissions and Administrator permissions which would enable the user to review consent, set up roles and users. To set the user up with Manage user permissions tick the box next Manage users.

    Search, Print and Export

    Search

    One of the key features of PTX Account Visibility is the powerful search capability, allowing you to pinpoint transactions across multiple bank statements and multiple bank accounts.

    The search tool can be accessed from the main toolbar within PTX Account Visibility. Click on Account visibility on the header toolbar, select Search and enter your search criteria.

    Alternatively, you can search from within a statement. Select Statements from the drop-down list from the Account visibility main toolbar and simply enter the term you are looking to find in the search bar at the top of the statement page. PTX Account Visibility will search either a particular statement or all of your bank accounts, to find any transaction which matches that specific search term.

    Once you have found the transaction in question, you can click on this record and it will open up within the statement and account it is in.

    Print and export

    PTX Account Visibility also allows you to export and print your statement data in a consistent format.

    From the main toolbar, navigate to the Statements screen by selecting Statements in the drop-down list from Account visibility. Navigate to the statement you wish to export and print and click on the actions button () on the left hand side of the bank statement. Click this and youll be given the option to Export PDF or Export CSV.

    Exporting to CSV allows you to import your data directly into your accounting software package for digital reconciliation, if your accounting software can accept this format, whereas printing by PDF allows reconciliation by hand.

    For those documents printed as a PDF, we have added a tick box to the left of each transaction within a statement to aid you with reconciliation. We have included this feature to omit the need for the highlighter or ruler when youre highlighting or crossing off a transaction as reconciled.

    Frequently asked questions

    When does my SWIFT statement update?

    Your sponsoring bank will send an end of day statement (a MT940 to the SWIFT BIC you were allocated at the start of this process). This is sent at the end of the day for the bank please note that these times can differ between banks, especially if your sponsoring bank is not UK-based.

    For more information about when the bank will release your statement, please contact your sponsoring bank.

    Can I manually refresh my bank statements received via SWIFT?

    As the statement is only sent once a day by the bank, you cannot manually refresh your bank accounts. Generally statements are received in the evening and will therefore be ready for you to view the next morning.

    For more information about when the bank will release your statement, please contact your sponsoring bank.

    Can I add another bank account to the BIC?

    Of course! The BIC code allocated to you at the start of the process is yours and yours alone. You can ask any bank to send statements to that code and PTX Account Visibility will deal with the rest.

    If you have any questions about adding a new account to your system, contact our support team.

  • SWIFT Onboarding Guide

    Onboarding guide for a SWIFT bank account

    In order for you to view your statements within PTX Account Visibility, there are some pre-requisites to be agreed with your sponsoring bank.

    To utilise PTX Account Visibility, the system requires your end of day statements to be delivered via the SWIFT network from your sponsoring bank. In order to achieve this, it is necessary that you contact your relationship manager at each of the banks you hold accounts with which you wish to view within PTX Account Visibility.

    Please note that Bottomline cannot carry out this activity on your behalf as the relationship is between yourself and the bank and not Bottomline as a third party.

    At the meeting with the bank it will be necessary to inform them of the below:

    Your unique Business Identifier Code (BIC) which is detailed on your Account Visibility Welcome Email

    You are interested in receiving MT940 end of day statements via the SWIFT FIN network

    The accounts that you hold with that bank that you wish to receive statements in this way

    That you will be using the Bottomline SWIFT Bureau to receive these statements

    Request a quote and their contract so you can review their terms and costs

    Your dedicated Bottomline project coordinator will also be able to cover off any open questions that the bank may have at this stage, as well as advising on a target start date when you wish the SWIFT statements to be available.

    Once you have received and reviewed thebank(s) contract, costs and their subsequent acceptance, please inform your Bottomline project coordinator. They will then arrange for the required configuration to be completed to enable you to view your statements in Account Visibility. Your project coordinator will notify you once this has been completed and the next steps.

    Setting up PTX Account Visibility

    As an administrator, you will have received an email from [email protected] to set up your username and password. Once you have set up your password and logged in to PTX Account Visibility, the next step is to add an account.

    Adding your first bank account

    The first step is to select your bank from the popular banks detailed on screen or enter the name of your sponsoring bank into the search bar.

    This will then direct you to your sponsoring banks Open Banking portal where you need to follow the steps to gain consent to view your bank statements in PTX Account Visibility.

    Each bank has its own process for setting up Open Banking and therefore timescales may vary from bank to bank. Once consent has been granted, you will see the bank accounts you have consented to and you can then view your bank statements on screen.

    Renaming a bank account

    Within PTX Account Visibility, you can change the name that appears for a bank account to make it easier to identify each account.

    To do this, click on Account visibility on the header toolbar, select Bank accounts from the drop-down list.

    If for any reason you wish to revoke access to a particular bank or remove a bank account, then this can be done from the main Accounts screen.

If you have more than one bank listed, click on the bank icon associated to the bank or bank account you wish to revoke.

    Managing bank consent

    To utilise PTX Account Visibility you must provide your consent for the service to collect your statement data for you. If this consent expires, it will need to be reauthorised before statement data can continue to be collected.

    You can view your current consented accounts by clicking the settings cog in the top right corner of your screen and selecting Consent review. This screen will display the banks you have currently consented to within PTX Account Visibility, along with the status and date of expiry.

  • If you have sent insufficient funds to your Currency Account to fund your payment(s), you will need to transfer more. This will be subject to the original settlement cut-off time.

    If you have transferred too much funds, these will stay in your Currency Account and may be used at any time in the future. Alternatively you can transfer them back by setting up your own bank account as a beneficiary.

    If the wrong reference has been stated, this will delay the allocation of funds to your Currency Account and could be returned to the sending account, which may take some time.

    To prevent delays, please ensure the correct value and reference is used each time.
