NetSuite to Bank File in Minutes
Export from NetSuite. Generate CPA-005. Upload to your Canadian bank.
Bridge the gap for Canadian EFT payments.
The NetSuite + Canadian EFT situation
NetSuite is powerful ERP software, but Canadian EFT can be tricky:
- NetSuite supports EFT but configuration can be complex
- Canadian CPA-005 requires specific formatting
- Bank-specific requirements vary and change
- SuiteScript customization may be needed (expensive)
The simple alternative: Export your payment batch from NetSuite as CSV. Import into EFT Flow. Generate the CPA-005 file your bank expects. Done.
How it works
Select vendor bills or payroll to pay via direct deposit.
Export your payment list from NetSuite (vendor name, amount, etc.).
Drag and drop the NetSuite export.
Tell EFT Flow which NetSuite columns map to payee, amount, etc. Saved for future imports.
EFT Flow matches vendor names to bank details in your saved vendor list.
Bank-ready file generated. Upload to your Canadian bank.
Why use EFT Flow instead of NetSuite's built-in EFT?
NetSuite built-in EFT
- Requires configuration expertise
- May need SuiteScript customization
- Bank format changes require updates
- Consultant costs for setup/maintenance
- Complex troubleshooting
NetSuite + EFT Flow
- Works in minutes (no configuration)
- No SuiteScript needed
- We maintain bank format compatibility
- $95/month flat
- Simple troubleshooting
The trade-off: NetSuite's built-in EFT is more automated once configured. EFT Flow is simpler but requires an export/import step. If your NetSuite EFT is working well, keep using it. If it's giving you headaches, try our approach.
Exporting from NetSuite
There are several ways to get payment data out of NetSuite:
Saved Search Export
Create a saved search for vendor payments. Include vendor name, payment amount, and any other needed fields. Export to CSV.
Report Export
Run a vendor payments or AP report. Export the results to Excel/CSV. Import into EFT Flow.
Payment Batch Export
From your payment batch, export the payment details before processing. Use this list in EFT Flow.
Custom Export
If you have custom payment workflows, export whatever list shows payee names and amounts. EFT Flow can map any format.
The exact export path depends on your NetSuite configuration. The key is getting a list with vendor names and payment amounts into CSV or Excel format.
For enterprise NetSuite users
If you're running NetSuite at enterprise scale, EFT Flow can still help:
- Backup solution: When your built-in EFT has issues, generate files via EFT Flow
- Canadian subsidiary: If only your Canadian operation needs CPA-005, EFT Flow is simpler than configuring NetSuite
- Parallel run: Test file output before switching payment methods
- Special cases: Handle one-off payment runs that don't fit your normal workflow
Lifetime license: At $2,990 one-time, EFT Flow is a rounding error in enterprise software budgets—and it just works.
NetSuite + EFT Flow FAQ
Why not just use NetSuite's EFT functionality?
NetSuite's built-in EFT works well when properly configured. But configuration requires expertise, and Canadian CPA-005 format can be finicky. If your built-in EFT is working, use it. If it's causing problems, EFT Flow is a simpler alternative.
Does EFT Flow integrate directly with NetSuite?
No. EFT Flow is a file conversion tool. You export from NetSuite, import the file into EFT Flow, and generate your bank file. There's no API integration—which means no complex setup or ongoing maintenance.
Can I use this for high-volume payments?
Yes. EFT Flow handles large payment files. The main consideration at high volume is your workflow—exporting and importing takes a few minutes regardless of payment count.
What about NetSuite's payroll?
Same process. Export your net pay amounts from NetSuite payroll, import into EFT Flow, generate the direct deposit file. Works for payroll just like vendor payments.
My NetSuite consultant charges a lot. Is this really cheaper?
Depends on your situation. EFT Flow is $95/month or $2,990 lifetime. If consultant hours to configure/maintain NetSuite EFT exceed that, EFT Flow saves money. If your EFT is already working, the cost comparison doesn't matter.
