BlueShore Financial's Business Online Banking is an online banking solution that offers the following conveniences:

• Access to both personal and business accounts with one login. Once you have logged in, you will have a multi-membership view of all accounts on which you are a signer.
• Most popular online banking functions such as viewing account summaries and activities, making bill payments, transferring funds between accounts, and filing or remitting government payments.
• Functionality to delegate others such as a bookkeeper or a family member to have limited access to your online business account. This access can be ‘read-only- to view information or the access can allow them to initiate a transaction, such as a bill payment with the business account signer approving or declining the transaction.
• Two signature required accounts can be set up for accounts that require dual approvals.

Business Online Banking offers the same features as Online Banking, PLUS the added features that a business may require, including:

Delegates are people within a business (Accountant/Bookkeeper) who have limited access to online banking accounts. Delegates are created by signers and can be either “Read-only” or “Initiators.”

Each Signer can have up to three (3) Delegates.

Each signer can add a maximum of three delegates. Once you have three delegates, the link becomes inactive.

When you click Add Delegate you are taken to the Add Delegate page, your delegate's login is automatically generated and cannot be changed. You must enter a temporary personal access code (PAC) and communicate it to your delegate in a secure way.

Your delegate's login is automatically generated to ensure that it remains unique and secure. It cannot be changed.

Read-only delegates can view account activity in accounts you give them access to. Initiator delegates can view accounts and initiate (or set up) transactions, which must be approved by signers. For example, your receptionist may have read-only access to look at transactions, while your bookkeeper will have initiator access to set up bill payments and transfers.

Delegate can only see the accounts you have given them access to. If you don't want delegates to view any personal accounts that you have added to the Consolidation Manager, make sure those accounts are not selected for delegate access.

No, but your partner must approve any transactions that your delegate may initiate.

You must assign a personal access code (PAC). In Delegate Manager, click Edit beside your delegate's name to access the Edit Delegate page. Enter a new temporary PAC. You should give your delegate the new password in a secure way. The delegate will be prompted to change the temporary password after logging in.

Yes.

In Delegate Manager, click Edit beside your locked delegate's name to access the Edit Delegate page. Check the "Unlock this account" checkbox to restore your delegate's access.

Click on Delete beside the delegate's name in the Delegate Manager to remove the user permanently.

In the Delegate Manager, click Edit beside your delegate's name to go to the Edit Delegate page. Change the Delegate's status to Inactive. When you want to restore delegate access, change the status back to Active (for example, this is a very handy tool when you hire an accountant at tax time but only need them a few months a year).

No, one Signer cannot Edit the other Signer’s delegates.

Yes, one Signer can Delete the other Signer’s delegates.

The “D” is case sensitive and must be a capital “D.”

To add a consolidated account, click the Consolidate Account link at the top of the page. Then complete the information on the Consolidate Account page. After you have added the maximum number of three consolidated accounts, this link will become inactive.

To remove a consolidated account, click Remove to the right of the account in the Account Consolidation Manager. This does not affect the account itself. You can continue to access that account by logging directly into it.

This link will appear when an account could not be accessed, probably because of an incorrect PAC. Click the link and enter the PAC used to log directly into this account. Your PAC will be updated and you will be able to view the account along with your other consolidated accounts.

No, when you consolidate a PAN all the accounts and relationships under that PAN will be consolidated.

Recalling a transaction effectively cancels the transaction request. You can recall any transactions that appear under Transactions Requiring Review from Others. Any transactions that have already been approved or rejected cannot be recalled.

Delegates initiate transactions that require approval from signers. Initiating a transaction involves setting up the transaction by entering information such as the type of payment, account to transfer from, payee, amount and the payment date. A signer must approve it in order for the transaction to actually take place.

Transactions created by a delegate become Pending Transactions and require approval from a signer. These transactions must be approved by the date stated under "Transaction Status" on the receipt page, otherwise they will expire and will not be carried out.

Once the signer approves a transaction, it is carried out by the banking system unless the account is set up as a two-to-sign in which case an additional second approver is required.

No, the signer only has to approve the recurring transaction once, when it is first initiated.

Transactions such as bill payments must be approved by a certain date, otherwise they will expire. The expiry date can be found under "Transaction Status" on the receipt page when the delegate creates the transaction, and under "Payment Status" in the Transaction Manager.

The Authorized signers can set up Email and/or Mobile phone text notifications for all pending or soon to expire transactions by creating a Business Alert located under “Manage Alerts” section of Business Online Banking.

The Authorized signers have 7 days to act on a transaction prior to expiry. The authorized users will receive a daily notification of a transaction pending.

Once a transaction is approved, it can be in the history of the account from which funds were taken.

A dual signature account is used by businesses that require two signatures to approve a transaction. If you have initiator delegates, all initiated transactions require approval from two signers. For example, a bill payment initiated by an initiator delegate requires two approvals.
