What's new in NAB Connect

To give you a simpler way to access all NAB Connect payment types, we're moving the following Direct Entry payment types from under 'Other payment types' into the main 'Payments' menu:

• Direct Credit
• Payroll
• Executive Payroll
• Direct Debit
• Direct Debit - GDES

This change will save you time and make NAB Connect payments more intuitive and easier to use.

Security Officers to be renamed as 'Administrator'

In November 2022 user profiles of 'Security Officer' and 'Security Officer+' will be renamed to 'Administrator'.

Currently, Security Officer and Security Officer+ users display as an 'Authorising user' in the 'Users & permissions' list in NAB Connect. With this change, Security Officers will now display as 'Administrator'.

The current levels of access and permissions held by a Security Officer or a Security Officer+ will automatically be moved across to the 'Administrator'.

Benefits of this change

• Three clear user roles in NAB Connect - Administrator, Authorising user and General user.
• Better visibility of a user's roles and permissions.
• User permission reports and printouts will now display the correct user type.

View Equipment Finance accounts in NAB Connect

We’re making it easier to view more of your business account details in the one place. You’ll soon be able to see account details for three new Equipment Finance accounts in NAB Connect.

If you have one or more Equipment Finance accounts, over the next few weeks you’ll see the account/s appear in the Accounts tab, under the Account details menu.

If you open a new Equipment Finance account in the coming weeks, you’ll see the account details straight away.

What you need to do

To let users view the Equipment Finance account details (new and existing) once they appear in NAB Connect, the Administrator (Security Officer +) will need to link the account/s to Users and a Service.

How to add a User to accounts and services:

1. Log into NAB Connect.
2. Go to Admin then select Accounts.
3. Select the Account and select ‘Assign users’.
4. Select the User you want to give access to, and select ‘Save’.
5. Select  Assign services then Account profile and select  ‘Save’.

Once this is done users will be able to view the Equipment Finance account/s under ‘Account details.’

The message will remind you that NAB will never ask you to share a code or a one-time password. If you have provided a code or password to a caller, contact NAB Connect immediately on 1300 888 413.
