Book Input
The Book Transfer Input Service enables you to move funds between two accounts at The Exchange Bank. The Exchange Bank has established accounts between which you may move money and may have worked with your company to determine how much you can move within any given day.

Creating a Book Transfer consists of selecting the from and to accounts, entering a transfer amount, an optional processing date, and some informational text. Once the Transfer has been entered, you receive a confirmation message reiterating the information generated and providing you with a reference number that you can use in tracking.

Setting Data Selection Criteria

From Account Number List
This list box displays accounts "from" which you may move funds. Each account in the list is identified by account number, currency, and account name. To select an account, scroll through the list to find the account that you want to move money out of (debit) and click on it. The account you select is displayed in the From Account window. The system will not allow you to use the same From and To account in a single Transfer.


To Account Number List
This list box displays accounts "to" which you may move money. Each account in the list is identified by account number, currency, and account name. To select an account, scroll through the list to find the account that you want to move money into (credit) and click on it. The account you select is displayed in the To Account window. The system will not allow you to use the same From and To account in a single Transfer.

Amount
This is the amount of money to move from one account to the other. If you are entering dollars and cents, you need to enter a decimal between the dollar value and the cents value. If you are entering zero cents, you are not required to enter a decimal. If you are entering more than $999.99, you may enter commas, but they are not required.

The Exchange Bank may impose daily and individual transfer limits on each account from which you may move money. If so, there may be a limit to the

  • amount you may move in a single transfer, from a single account
  • amount you may move in a single day, from a single account
  • number of transfers you may make in a single day, from a single account.

If you try to exceed any of these limits, the system displays a message stating that you are trying to move too much verbiage.

Processing Date
This is the date on which you want The Exchange Bank to make the transfer between the two accounts. The system automatically supplies the date of the soonest available business day in this field. The Exchange Bank has defined a cutoff time for accepting book transfers for today's processing. If you are entering a transfer after that cutoff time, the date in this field will be the next business day on which this transfer could be posted. You may also enter a date in the future, if suitable. Book transfers entered for future dates are held by the bank until the specified date, on which they are to be posted. The system will not allow you to enter transfers for holidays or non-business days such as weekends.

Additional Information
This optional field allows you to provide up to 80 characters of information. This information is reflected on the Book Transfer Report and can be used for your internal reference. If The Exchange Bank accepts the information on the transfer, it may be reflected on your balance statement. Check with your Business Online Banking Customer Representative at 1-888-413-4454 to determine if this information is passed through the bank's systems.

The Data Entry Page Buttons

  • Submit - Once you have entered all information and have looked over your entry, click this button to send the transfer to the bank. Depending on how The Exchange Bank processes transfers initiated by this system, your transfer will either be posted to your account immediately or later in the day. Check with your account representative to determine when posting is actually performed. Once you have clicked on the Submit button, you are presented with a Confirmation Page. The Confirmation Page displays all the details about your book transfer. You can print this page and use it for future reference.
  • Reset - This button resets all fields to their original values. The account selection lists resets to display the first account in the list, the amount is reset to zero, the processing date is set to the next business day, and the additional information is blanked out. This allows you to start over, if needed.

Book Report
The Book Report Service allows you to review Book Transfers entered for today and previous days.
