A Better Way to Run Your Business

As the number of notifications increased in BBC widgets, performance was impacted in the past, slowing down the system’s responsiveness. In this version of BBC, notification services have been redesigned so that the number of notifications no longer impact performance.

You will now have the default saved view available in the respective list views for each of the new notifications, also improving performance.

Notifications were regrouped to be specific to ACH (Wire and Transfers) instead of aggregated into single payment counts.

In previous versions of BBC, the Payment Processed alert was sent for payments that progressed through Bank Received, Bank Confirmed, or Bank Rejected statuses. However, ACH payments typically did not enter any of these statuses, which meant that subscribers might not have been notified when an ACH payment was released to the bank for processing.

In this version of BBC, the Payments Released alert has been added that allows you to subscribe to an alert for payments that have a final status of Released. This alert allows you to be notified when ACH payments are released.

BBC now can show the File Name for an imported payment or template on the Payment Detail Report or Template Detail Report for historical reference. This applies to the below cases:

• For payments and templates created through an import, the File Name is visible on the Print - Detail report
• No change was made to the Export output report or the Print – Summary report
• Applies to all payment types:
  • ACH
  • Wires
  • Canadian Bill Pay
  • Canadian EFT
  • Transfers
• If the payment or template was not imported, the File Name field will not be on the report

There are several special characters (including & and ‘, for example) that are not valid in the Account Name and Address fields for SWIFT payments. Historically, BBC has restricted these special characters from being used in these fields during Account creation when an account is enabled for Wire payments so that the payment information sent to the bank for processing would follow SWIFT rules.  However, often the account information is controlled by the back-office and will be replaced in the outgoing message on the Wire and gets adjusted, as needed, to meet SWIFT rules at that time.  A configuration has therefore been introduced in BBC to allow the validation to be relaxed and the Account Name and Address fields may now contain these special characters.

In the upgraded BBC version the logic for Save for Later (Save as Incomplete) has been revised for both payments and templates so that most mandatory field validations will be skipped, allowing you to truly save an incomplete payment instruction to come back to and finish later.

• The bare minimum of fields required to Save a payment for Later varies by payment type, but generally is now only limited to requiring:
  • Debit Account
  • Value Date

You cannot save an ACH or CA EFT payment with incomplete beneficiary information from the modal popup, and you cannot add another beneficiary to the batch with the previous beneficiary having incomplete data.

You can now select multiple exceptions and click on View items to see all the information needed on a separate page or pages, inclusive of check images. You can review the items one by one and click on your action (pay/return/approve) and the next available set of information will appear in another page (displaying the details as well as the image) for you to confirm and complete the action.
