Where do I download the data from?

To set up data loading from Banklink to Class:

1. the accountant/administrator needs to set up a contract with Banklink
2. The client account holder then needs to provide third party authority to Banklink, the accountant and Class to deliver data to Class.

Banklink requires a completed form from the account holder containing details of the account/s to be set up. Once the contract and the account haVe been set up, the accountant should use Banklink Practice software to download the account transactions in Class format.

Refer to the BankLink website for more information on using the BankLink service and their associated fees.
