New iBusiness Banking has arrived!
Customers will automatically be upgraded throughout this year
The New iBB is here
Internet Business Banking (iBB) is getting an upgrade. Here’s what that means for you.
How will I know if my company has been upgraded?
Before you’re upgraded we’ll send messages in your current iBB to give you notice. When the upgrade has been applied, when you log-in to iBB as normal, you will see a message on the second screen above the Passphrase & OTC fields. After successfully logging in you will see the brand new version of iBB.
CHAPS Payments and New iBB – Action Required
CHAPS payments will be coming to your new iBB at the end of June. As you’ve removed your users’ entitlement to make CHAPS payments in old iBB, they’ll lose the ability to make any payments in new iBB, as new iBB doesn’t distinguish between different payment types. If you want them to continue be able to make payments in new iBB, please grant them the entitlement to make CHAPS via your old iBB. The Local Admin should carry out the steps outlined below.

Steps to complete:
1. Click ‘Local Admin’ in the iBB menu
2. Click ‘User List’ in the iBB menu

Thanks for helping us make your iBB experience even better. We’ll continue to keep you updated on all new features and enhancements.
Payment Limits
When your company is upgraded we will move your Company Cash Management Limit (CML) into the new iBB. CML is the amount your company can pay per day on iBB.
We will also apply the same user ‘daily payment limits’ to the new iBB for your payment authorisers.
Local Administrators will be able to view these changes in the old iBB*. Simply go to the Local Admin menu, select User List, Modify, and then Limits.
*see the ‘Will I lose the old iBB’ in the FAQ’s below
Transactions vs Payments Logs
In the new iBB, the Payments Log is now located in the Payments menu. This shows all outgoing payments made in the new iBB. Any payments made in the old iBB will not be shown here, to see those, you can view your Outgoing Payments Log in the old iBB.
Your account balances and transactions will continue to show all payments made in and out of your accounts, regardless of whether they were made online, in-branch, by cheque etc. In the new iBB you can view these in your Accounts page.
Changes take affect overnight
Any changes you make in the old iBB to user profiles, user limits, and if you add or delete payees, they will be applied to the new iBB overnight.
Changes made in the new iBB will not be applied back to the old iBB.
We’ll take care of the rest for you
No need to worry about setting up payees or user permissions, once you have access to the new iBB they will be available and ready for use. If you don’t see a saved payee from old iBB in new iBB, it’s because there’s invalid information saved with the payee e.g. IBAN, Bank Code. Please recreate the payee in new iBB. You can find out more about transactions and paymentswithin the new iBB on our YouTube channel.

Will my login details change?
Your existing User ID, Password (previously Passphrase) and Digipass will work as normal and with the same levels of security.
-
Will I lose the old iBB?
Not yet, we plan to start disabling the old iBB towards the end of 2020. For now, you can return to the old iBB after you have logged into the new one. You will not be able to make payments there as your CML has been moved to the new iBB but you can view old Payment Logs or access the Local Admin menu. We will give you notice before the old iBB is disabled.

What is the "CML Limits" Screen in the old iBB?
When your company receives the iBB upgrade, your Company Cash Management Limit will be moved to the new iBB. More information on your Cash Management Limit (CML) is available in the CML Limits screen under Local Admin in the old iBB.

PAYMENTS
To create and authorise payments, simply follow the steps below:
Create a Payment
- Click the PAYMENTS tab at the top of the screen.
- Select Pay / Transfer
- Select the account you want to make the transfer from, from the dropdown list.
- Insert the amount you want to transfer.
- Click the ‘account or payee’ button. A pop-up window will appear and you can search for the account / payee by writing their name in the box or by scrolling through the list.
- You don’t have to, but you can then insert a message to appear on your statement and your payee’s statement, as well as a description of the payment.
- Finally, select the date you want to make the payment – you can choose today’s date or any date in the next 90 days.
- Click continue and you will be brought to a payment review screen.
- If you have the permission, you can select ‘Authorise’ and complete the payment by entering an OTC (One Time Code) from your digipass. If you don’t have the permission to authorise, click ‘Save for Authorisation’ and let your colleague know to log in and complete the payment that is now in their ‘Authorisations’ list.
- When your payment is confirmed, you can see all the details of the payment on the final screen and print a copy of the confirmation if you need it.
Top Tips:
- If you do have the permission to approve payments but you would like to make multiple payments today, or if you are not ready to send the payment yet you can choose ‘Save for Authorisation’. Then when you are ready to complete your payment(s) you can find them in the Authorisations page.
- As per step 6 above, we recommend entering a description into the payee’s statement message so they know this payment came from you.
Authorise a Payment
- When a payment has been created it must be authorised before it can be sent.
- Click the PAYMENTS tab at the top of the screen.

(NOTE: The maximum number you can authorise in any one go is 50). - Enter a One Time Code into the pop-up window and click authorise for a final time.

Stay secure online
iBB will continue to have the same high levels of security, but sadly fraud is a fact of life and so it is important to remain vigilant for scams and internet fraud. Fraudsters may call pretending to be from the bank and ask you to create codes on your Digipass, perform test payments or to transfer money out of your account. If you are asked to do this it will be a fraud.
You should also be cautious if your computer slows down while using iBB, particularly at log in. This may be a sign of the presence of Malware.
