  • 1. Go to the BSB site via this link.

    2. Download the file in txt format by clicking the TEXT option. Clicking TEXT may instantly (a) download the file or (b) open it in another tab. Once opened in another tab, you may Save As in '.txt'.

    3. Open the downloaded/saved file in Notepad and delete the Header line (i.e. first row).

    4. Browse for the Import File Name and select Y or N in the Update Existing Address and/or Bank-id Details field.

    5. Run the Process.

    6. Check your BSB Codes as the import may upload a Header record. If it does, delete this from the system.

    7. Report PRE276 will be produced in Console, which you can then review.
