Sage 50cloud add-on payment processing and direct payments

Sage 50cloud Accounting EFT Direct lets you quickly and easily transfer data from your accounting files to your financial institution. You are quickly able to perform employee and vendor direct deposits as well as customer pre-authorized debits. This simple but powerful program makes it easy to use electronic banking to make payments to vendors,¹ receive payments from customers, and pay employees in Canada or in the US.² Using EFT Direct does not change your Sage 50cloud Accounting data in any way. The program reads data from Sage 50cloud Accounting and uses it to create its own files for transmission to your bank, leaving your Sage 50cloud Accounting data intact. Some key benefits of using Sage 50cloud Accounting EFT Direct are:

• Enhanced accuracy
• Lower risk of fraud
• Reduced transaction processing time and costs
• Less delinquent payments

With Sage 50cloud Accounting EFT Direct, you can take advantage of the lowest fees on the market for customer collections, bill payments, and employee direct deposit. By processing payments directly through your bank, cutoff times can be as low as 24 hours before the payment is due. You work directly with your bank – no third party payment processor is required.

Sage 50cloud Accounting EFT Direct is available for Employee Direct Deposit, Vendor Direct Deposit, and Pre-Authorized Debits. A product license fee³ applies. Additional bank fees and setup may apply.⁴
