Creating your own EBICS bank access

Explanation

You select a bank access from the created customer bank accesses or a global bank access, add data and save the bank access.

Afterwards, you can initialise the saved bank access and assign order types to it or, in the case of using EBICS 3.0, BTFs.

If a push server has been set up for your assigned global bank access, a list of the selectable notifications is displayed on the tab Notifications.

Prerequisite

You have been assigned the right EBICS user bank access: read (own) and, depending on which task you want to perform, the rights EBICS user bank accesses: edit for customer bank accesses (own) or EBICS user bank accesses: edit for global bank accesses (own).

The bank accesses can be edited by a user and are not defined by the financial institution.

Procedure

Select Settings ➔ User settings and the tab Bank accesses.

Click on .

Only if you can also create FinTS bank accesses: select Create EBICS bank access.

In the mask area Basic data enter the name of the bank access.

In the mask area Bank access, enter the data of the bank access.

After saving the bank access, the data in the mask area Bank access can no longer be changed, bar the following exceptions:

	EBICS profile EBICS-DE: authorisation procedures
	EBICS profile EBICS-FR: CFONB profile
	Signature procedure

From the selection list Financial institution, select a bank access.

In the selection list you can see the name of the bank access as well as the URL and the EBICS host ID of the EBICS server.

Enter the customer ID and the protocol user ID you use to identify yourself at the financial institution.

In the fields Customer ID and Protocol user ID, only uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, and the characters = and , may be entered. The length may not exceed 35 characters.

Only for bank accesses with the EBICS profile EBICS-DE: choose how you want to authorise your payment orders.

Radio button	Description
Release with electronic signature	The application requests you to give an electronic signature while the payment file is being sent.
Release by accompanying note	You send the order to the financial institution without an electronic signature (D file). The payment files have to be post-edited by the financial institution. Note: If you have already signed the payment files before they are sent, the signature that you gave is lost!
Ask upon sending	During each sending process of a payment file, the application asks whether you want to sign the payment order or not.

Only for French bank accesses (EBICS profile EBICS-FR): Select the profile of the bank access.



Submitting party profile (T)

Bank accesses with this profile can be used to send payment orders and files to the financial institution and to provide transport signatures for them. Bank-technical orders requiring an EBICS signature cannot be signed. The security medium of the user must be a certificate file or a security token.



Authorisation profile (TS)

Bank accesses with this profile can be used to send orders and files as well as to provide EBICS signatures for bank-technical orders. The security medium of the user must be a security token.

For non-French bank accesses, these fields are not displayed on the mask.

Do not change the default value in the field Signature procedure. The value is preset by your financial institution.

Save the data.

To initialise the bank access, click on Initialisation wizard.

Section Initialising a bank access explains how to initialise a bank access.

After having initialised the bank access, assign order types to the bank access or, if EBICS 3.0 is used, BTFs.

The procedure is described in the section Assigning order types or BTFs to a bank access.

11.

If a push server has been configured for your global bank access: to configure your notifications, switch to the tab Notifications.

12.

In the edit mode choose the events for which you want to receive notifications.

Which events are shown to you in the selection list depends on the push server.

Optional: after having initialised the bank access, assign ordering party accounts to the bank access.

The procedure is described in the section Assigning ordering party accounts to a bank access.
