Add a bank account

  1. From the Manage Bank Accounts page, select Add.

  2. Under Bank, select the bank to associate with this account. If no banks appear, you can search for an organization and create the Bank constituency.

  3. Enter a unique account name and the account number.

  4. Under Account type, select a type of account, such as Savings.

  5. Under Routing number, enter the account's routing number provided by your bank.

    Note: Bank accounts must contain a unique combination of routing number and account number. For example, two accounts at two different banks could have the same account number, but they cannot have the same routing number. Likewise, two accounts at the same bank could have the same routing number, but must have different account numbers.

  6. Under User number, enter the user number or originator identification number used to identify your organization.

  7. Under Minimum balance, enter the minimum amount the bank requires you to keep in the account to avoid service charges.

  8. If your organization uses the Altru General Ledger, under Debit/Credit, select whether to associate the bank account with a cash account or an account code.

    Note: The option you select under Account code uses masking to generate the debit (cash) account, which obfuscates the entire account code. For example, a payment with the credit account of 01-4000-00 deposited to a bank account with a “1000” default cash account code uses masking to generate the 01-1000-00 debit (cash) account.

  9. Select Save.
