If you are an ASB customer with a Fastnet Classic account, you can link your PaySauce accounts directly to ASB through the bank's API. This provides a secure, automated payment solution.
Note: If you have a Fastnet Business account, you'll need to use the Direct payment type instead.
Using the Direct banking integration with ASB is the preferred solution for most ASB customers. Read about that here: Using a direct payment type
Using ASB API
The ASB integration can only be used with one PaySauce account (unless you already have separate user accounts).
To integrate with multiple PaySauce sites, you can use Akahu instead. Akahu lets you set up multiple accounts, provided you use a different email address for each one.
Customers who have an ASB Fastnet Classic account are able to link their PaySauce account to their ASB bank account to allow fast transfers for payrolls.
Setting up the ASB API Integration
Step 1: Integrating PaySauce with ASB
Select (at Company level) > Settings (1) > click on Integration(2) > Select the ASB tab (3) > Click the Connect to ASB (4) button.
A pop-up will appear asking you to 'Confirm your Consents'.
The first is a transaction limit. PaySauce have pre-populated the value based on your payroll history.
The second is a monthly limit. PaySauce have pre-populated the value based on your payroll history. NOTE: this monthly limit is based on connection date rather than the calendar month.
The ASB connection page will open and you will need to enter the Username and password for your ASB online access.
Confirm the consents you entered.
Confirm the account you would like to connect. If you have multiple accounts available, you can change by clicking the blue 'Change account' button.
ASB will record the connection and you’ll be returned to PaySauce where a summary of your connection will be shown.
⚠️ Your consents provide payment limits. If you need to make a payment above your consented limit, you'll need to break the current connection by clicking the X next to the name of the current connection. Then go through from step 1 to reconnect again with new consent limits.
Step 2: Set up the bank account
The account you selected during the connection process above will appear in your list of Accounts under Accounts at company level > Bank (in the Accounts menu).
Note: PaySauce does not see any specific account information so we use the ASB username as the account name and the account number will be shown as 12-xxxx-xxxxxxx-xx
This account will automatically be Set as Default deduction account.
You can choose to enter custom details in the Particulars / Code / Reference fields.
Click OK at the bottom of the screen to save changes.
Step 3: Deductions
After connecting your ASB account, check any deductions or linked debts are paying the correct bank account. Any old accounts will still be linked as we cannot automatically select an account for you. This will need to be done per employee and per debt/deduction.
Select Employees.
Select an employee.
Check the Deductions and Debts tabs, select the edit pencil to open up settings.
Ensure the correct account is selected.
⚠️ Due to PaySauce not seeing any specific account information ie your bank account is recorded as 12-xxxx-xxxxxxx-xx when using ASB API payment type - if you have your deduction set up to pay your company bank account your file will fail and could cause a slight delay in reaching your employees. To avoid any delays make sure your company bank account is set up correctly to be banked or withheld instead. See this article on how to set these up.
ASB API processing times
Payments made through the ASB API method process instantly since PaySauce uses ASB accounts.
When we receive your payment, we'll release the funds according to your banking disbursements report within two hours during business hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, excluding public holidays).
