Got a question about business bank accounts?
You can link your BCU Bank accounts with accounting software packages MYOB and Xero.
After you have signed up with your preferred provider they will contact us to allow access to your accounts.
If you have any queries please follow up with your software provider.
To get your bank transactions imported into Xero, you’ll need to add your bank account into Xero by following the steps on the Xero website.
Once submitted through Xero, keep an eye on your Secure Mail, we’ll be in touch here if we need anything further from you.
You can use Bank@Post at participating Australia Post offices Australia-wide to deposit cash or cheques, or make a withdrawal from your account.
You will need to have a BCU Bank Visa Debit card in order to perform these transactions.
Fees and charges apply to some Bank@post transactions.
Profiles are a feature in internet banking that will make it easier to manage your money by clearly separating your personal banking accounts from those connected to your non-personal accounts if you are a signatory on a business, club or trust.
With profiles, you’ll be presented with a screen when you login to choose whether you want to see your personal accounts or view your business, association, club or trust accounts that you have signatory access to.
You can also personalise your payee list for each profile under Transfer/Pay > Manage Payees.
