Connecting a NAB account to MYOB

To set up a bank feed for a NAB account:

Your AccountRight company file doesn't need to be online to set up bank feeds, but you'll need an internet connection.

There are two parts to setting up a bank feed:

1. Apply

Start the application process in AccountRight, then complete an application form.

2. Link

Once your bank feed application is approved, choose the AccountRight account the bank feed applies to.

What happens next?

When your bank feed is ready and it's linked to an AccountRight account, you’ll be able to download and approve transactions into your company file. Check the delivery frequency for your NAB account.

Note that the first bank feed you receive will have transactions dated from when your bank feed was approved. Any transactions that occurred while you were waiting for the bank feed to be set up won’t be included. If you want to import and reconcile transactions dated before your feed approval date, you can import a bank statement.
